IMHO `cabinet friction' is a lazy `catch all' used by people who should (and usually do) know better to explain away marks that make a coin shy of...
Firstly, i'd be poor counsel to you in relation to your available choices so i'll shut up on that score. :) As to the cut coin.........I can...
Nice. I like!!
My demand for a Stephen coin in relation to others that are currently more readily available is pretty low. Mind you, by the time it comes down to...
Neat. I like these french hammered coins. The only one i've got of an English king is this one: [IMG]
For me there is nothing `easy' about collecting mediaeval hammered coinages, even with the books. However, it does take the concept of `the fun...
I can't argue with your experience selling coins. I can argue with your assertion that i'm wrong. For years American dealers have been hoovering...
Nice one! Almost makes me want to take up collecting talers again. On the downside...sorry, but I just can't accept the way you left pondians...
Ouch! £450 is a bit on the heavy side for my budget at the moment. Been too busy buying up other items on my `must have' list. Good luck with...

First time i've seen one like that for Elagabalus or with the eagle facing to the right. Mind you, I haven't seen all that many. Here's the one...
Sorry Mikjo, I just realised I hadn't responded to your note above. According to Coincraft's `Standard Catalogue of English and UK Coins 1066...
I'm confused as to what information you are seeking (?) Can you be a bit more precise?
I am not 100% certain, but I vaguely recall that the item you mention is what is termed a `fantasy' cooin created by the company called...
There's a kind of checklist you can go through to eliminate possibilities. It starts with the mints. Some are only found on Edward I coins. So...
The 1951 crown was originally issued in a small cardboard box (either maroon in colour or green. I've never found out what the significance of...
Well, a quick bit of research will show you that they aren't strictly speaking `British' coins at all. British Empire...yes, but not British by...
I'm a tad confused by the image provided. Is it a black and white photo or is it natural (in which case the item is not a sovereign)? I'm also...
Separate names with a comma.
