WELL DONE!

[Aussie Aaron 0]

Hay CHRIS, well done on the web site! How long have you been collecting coins? What else do you do besides PREDECIMAL.

[Aussie Aaron 0]

Also how much is a English Pound to the Aussie Dollar?

[Chris Perkins 228]

Aaron,

This is all I do!

With Rotographic.co.uk and the odd coin fair and I make the odd face to face sale. As a matter of fact, where I spend a lot of time in Germany there is an Australian chap who lives nearby. He's one of my best customers actually.

Have a look on www.xe.com for exchange rates.

Easy lifestyle...

[Chris Perkins 228]

Why you little.

I don't know where tomorrows bread and dripping will be coming from! When I get your latest cheque Jmd, I'll be able to buy some new socks and perhaps reat myself to a newspaper.

[Master Jmd 80]

Still an easy lifestyle...

what would you prefer, shoveling coal all day or self-employed coin dealing?

(my cheque is on its way )

[Chris Perkins 228]

There are benefits with both vocations. Shoveling coal all day would probably be healthier (if you were able to not breath the dust all day), i'd finish and start work at fixed times and get the same amount of money every week.

I never did much like the idea of physical graft though.

I'd hardly call it an easy lifestyle. Chris puts in loads of time to improving the website, dealing with Rotographic, putting the book together in .pdf, replying to peoples' queries, valuing coins, selling coins, doing his radio slot and countless more things besides. I think Chris has a very hard and taxing lifestyle, but executes his tasks tremendously well.

[Chris Perkins 228]

Ah bless you Oli. I'm certainly kept busy.

[william 0]

Yes, I suppose you are extremely busy! Especially at the moment with Rotographic. And thats on top of all the usual queries, selling coins, buying coins, replying to things on the forum, updating the site. And during all that, he's got to fly to England every so often for his radio show. And he does it well too.

Not very easy....

[Chris Perkins 228]

Actually, next visit to the UK i'll be going by boat in a car because I have to pick lots of coins up. I try my best.

[Half Penny Jon 0]

What are you picking up Chris, a hoard?!

[Chris Perkins 228]

Mostly silver bullion, and lots of mainly modern (60's) stuff from various friends houses in mint sealed bags. To be honest, if got so much in friends houses I've forgetten what's there!

[Half Penny Jon 0]

You have depo's Chris! Cool!

[Chris Perkins 228]

At Mr Steve Quirk's house (Hello Steve, I know you'll never read this) I have a pile from floor to ceiling in his bedroom. He also has a brand new Triumph TR7 front spoiler in his shed, a set or 2nd hand twin Triumph carburetters and 5 alloy wheels!

Richard has a few 1000 late bronze coins a box of copper, some silver and a couple of sovereins. Neils Mum has the Churchill crowns. (I'll try to avoid her!)
