Crowns or Halfcrowns?

[Peckris 579]

Can I just throw a different one in - tanners. They are really cheap at the moment and if you want a long run, go back virtually to the year dot. Somehow or another, I just like the combination of silver colour and farthing size, and as I've said, cheap as chips!

True, the overhang from the Bole collection is going to influence the market for a while yet.

Interesting idea, but if I was happy with smaller coins I would probably stick with pennies as these go back even further. I just like the look and feel of the larger currency.

A strange notion - that the penny is a "smaller coin" !

Methinks it is a reference to the silver ones.

So does my wife

Is she out a lot?

I was referring to my bank balance... some people, minds in the gutter!

I was referring to the pre 1797 and hammered pennies as smaller coins. Collecting these would make sense but they just don't 'do it' for me.
