So sorry to hear that.

I remember members posting links to ebay coin auctions with bid history similar to the one below. Sometimes accusing seller of illegal practices. This is the link to the alloys i posted on ebay few days ago. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141790110332?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 I dont know any of the bidders involved. Just wanted to share .

Sorry to hear that. Hope she'll get well soon.

Yay new coins for my collection. I tried to get more hammered but unlucky this time. Hammered coins i mean.

Yes i use them for nearly a year now. They are great. Takes few days but if you plan your transfers in advance its not a problem.

I totally agree with you Richard. I would love to buy laurel like the one you posted. But how much would it cost? £2000? More? My budget at the beginning was £200 per coin. So far i probably bought only one or two within this budget. Out of seven - eight. I followed forum members' advice and bought best i could find/afford. I know that Cromwell will cost me way above my budget. And im not really a 'very serious' collector and i dont spend too much time doing my research. Awww its a tough one. The whole idea was to buy one coin of each monarch (different denominations) to see what i like the most. To decide what to collect in a longer run. I can already see that i like it all:) So it looks like my 'experiment' is a failure. Or is it? Your thoughts?

It should be HVII onward.

Gold hammered coin - thats what im after. Im on low budget though. Looking for one under £600-700

The cheapest Ed.VIII is probably the halfpenny reverse uniface. It's currently in a 65(?) slab and last sold for around £3000-3500. You might find another pattern uniface for less than 10K, but after that you are talking £20K and up. I started with my budget at £200 per coin. I already paid two or three times that in some cases. I didnt know all EVIII are fantasy pieces. In this case i might leave a gap.I never liked him anyway.

I thought there are Commonwealth coins with EVIII portrait? GVI and EII... not sure if i should go for a proofs or for example EF 1946 or 1949 threepence and something rare from EII too.

Can someone help me with Edward VIII, George VI and Elizabeth II please? I have no idea what coins to get for my monarch collection. Thanks

Happy Birthday Peter!

The silver dollar i left by the kitchen window for two months and thats what happened.

My turn.

I always wanted one!
