Did anybody get any coins for christmas either what they want or don't want as I am looking to buy coins.

A coin is for life, not just for Christmas...

Just the one coin - a nice 1707 Roses and Plumes shilling of Queen Anne. Reasonable grade - NVF and decent old toning, so quite pleasant and another gap in the Queen Anne wall.

I got some of those too! Decent milled edge on mine, can hardly get into the buggers without taking my nails off!

I might be prepared to sell the 'Marianne' collection I assembled last year.

All depicting the republican symbol of a woman in a Phrygian hat. 25 coins (well, not all coins as that includes a couple of tokens and local issue 'coins of necessity' and a few duplicates and coins where she's not wearing her hat, so 33 in all) from various countries in various metals dating from 1796 to 1992. Like these:

£500 the lot. I'd include the little box they are stored in with them.

Ah, depends on quality, as ever. I got mine from Dix Thorntons Webb...

Why? That looks a unique and attractively themed collection.

True. But the money would considerably boost the reserves for adding to main collection ...

Chas shillings always get priority I'm afraid and nicer examples are not getting any cheaper.
