Hi Frank, I think people are unwilling to put too much effort into these as they are in such poor state. Even if nailed down, no one is going to...
I had this one about 5 years ago - sold for well over GBP 100. [ATTACH]
A man after my own heart! I don't believe in imprisoning old coins either. (OK for modern proofs but depressing on anything more than 200 years old.)
Yes - a gold dealer here in the UK got caught with a switch like this a few years back - on a whole bag of scrap gold. Lost several thousand...
Nice Brooch! I had the coin below many years ago and sold it on before I realised what it was. It is a Transportation Love token, created using a...
Try this one from the UK - the coin is actually worth £30 to £50:...

Hi Mark, I have stacks of British Pennies for sale in various grades. What are you particularly looking for now? What grades? P
What I think you are trying to decide is the balance between "Profit" and "Enjoyment". If you went for profit only, you would focus on a small...
Just an update - I have spoken with the local police and asked for more details on the coins that have been taken - particularly if there are any...
Well my calling card has me down as "Eccentric Enthusiast"! I couldn't call myself an expert, as I have no qualifications, so Eccentric suited me...
