William and Mary? (See my avatar). :D
Enter the pound. I read somewhere that the pound became known as the pound because that's how much 240 silver pennies weighed, one pound. The term...
I have a narrower definition. If the coin was minted for the purpose of circulation (or to look like a circuulation piece) then it is a coin....
I know a guy that might sell those Spinks books if you're interested i can PM you with a link, should you wish.
That's exactly the way i view it Terry. I find slabs patronising, so yeah i might not be a professional grader, but i'll never learn to grade...
1989/90 to present... on and off.
I do like William IV shillings, although the reverse doesn't grab me so much, the obverse just looks right on that diameter of silver.
Oh the shield back half sovereign, one of my favourites, gorgeous design. I had a gorgeous Jubilee one, but the young head ones are the best cos...
Hmm... [IMG]
I don't like wreaths very much, or even at all to be honest. I refuse to collect Victorian sixpences or Edward VII sixpences cos they're all...

I know where there's a cheap (a really cheap one for sale that i could PM you a link to), it used to be mine actually. It's a high grade specimen...
I got a very nice lustrous 1980 2p in circulation a few months back as well as a pair of near full lustre 1986 pennies. Odd cos not many bronze...
I like it, i like it! She's an example to the coin collecting world. I wish there were more people like that. I was beginning to think i was the...
A bit of a hard one to scan this, it has a dark tone and all... [IMG] [IMG]
That would be a sixpence, and as you say not cheap i'm afraid, it took me a while to get that one. The one pictured is a very high grade William...
Hmm my Christmas dinner, well we had goose, sprouts, mashed potato, (not roast potatos though, which is criminal actually, ever heard of no roast...
I bet you can tell by the toning. Looking at UK coins from 1919 and 1922 you can tell which one's sterling and which one's not as they tone. The...
