Great Britain Penny 1928

[RENNES 0]

Hi,

I have been very busy eating too much cheese and drinking nice wine..

Hence I have not shown my face for a while.

A question please.

17 Euros is a fair price?

thanks

17 Euros = 14.4280526 British pounds!

14 pounds in the uk is two or three bottles of poor quality wine.. (for me anyway)

17 euros here in the "cave a vin" "next door" is a selection of fine wines and not to mention the fromagerie the shop after.. have to go without this week, admire my new coin with a cup of tea and a biccy.

I'd be happy!

not one of the dates you find in that grade often, so worth it.

Looks like your coin is still for sale in Israel, Rennes!

the same 1928 penny, unmistakeably

If it's actually that coin you're getting then it is a fair price. Common year and therefore not bargain of the century but decent deal nonetheless.

Don't see how it can be if it's the same coin ... unless you are selling it already Rennes?

I think its a keeper.

Wow! I didn't realise my collection had risen in value so much! Question is, is the bubble about to burst? Hold or sell ... thanks for the heads up Rennes, must have taken my eye off the ball for a moment!

Yes - I think so, for a BU 1928 penny. You haven't paid 'over the odds'.

Excuse ME! Don't judge our wine by the appalling (and now legendary) 1970s popularity of 'Hirondel', and our lapping up of the notorious Blue Nun. There are now some extremely good - though small scale - British vineyards : Astley in Worcestershire (or is it Gloucestershire??) is one, and they have won international awards. Apparently our climate is suited to one particular grape. I used to know what it was, but I've forgotten already - which shows you how much of a wine buff I am! (Oh wait - something is stirring ... is there a Madeleine Anjou grape? Or something similar?)

I have worked in a small vineyard in the UK and the Yarra valley in Aus, very interesting.

In my original statement was referring to wines for sale on the high streets, and the significant difference in price and quality.

I suppose one thing is clear; there will always be an abundance of cheap and good quality wine and chesse here and not there.
