Well it's still the Easter holiday and as a lecturer I'm lucky enough to get two weeks off. Two weeks I hear you exclaim. I need it, honest. Anyway, as I was saying, Easter, is not much of break really. I'm doing some teaching online on Skype video call.....for my coin money. My wife is unimpressed with all things coin as it has meant that our holiday is spent at home with the kids instead of relaxing (can you relax with two under 5's?) somewhere nice......saving for my next purchase of two shield backs or a george iv.....was gratified to see a coin I bought for £165 has just sold on e-bay same year same condition for approx £300. That provoked a thought about coin collecting......is their a schism between the invester type (like me) and the purists with the esoteric knowledge? Anyway....nearly 2pm in the UK and time for me to start teaching someone 250 miles away about religion and the secularisation thesis.......the things I do to buy coins! JP Marbury518
