<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 35014, member: 283&quot;]Some relatively `difficult&#039; items there.</p><p><br /></p><p>I gave up collecting UK coins (Brit, English / Scottish etc) a number of years ago and although I do still buy the occasional piece from here or there I collect mainly French coins and silver jetons these days.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do have a decent collection of things Scot&#039;s however, including an example of each type of genuine 18th C Scots Trade Tokens&#039; and also a goodly few of the private tokens. My favourite is the Dundee Penny, however I often refer collector friends to the Burntisland 1/2d to show them that Fifers are renowned for their vitriol. These days most people wouldn&#039;t know what a carboy was let alone `pure vitriol&#039;. BTW Burntisland is only six miles away from me.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of my favourite coins is the 40/- of Wm and Mary. The one I have is actually oval shaped. It hasn&#039;t been rolled and there&#039;s no elongation of the lettering in the legends or other tell tale signs as to why it is that shape. Very unusual since the design makes use of the complete flan. It hasn&#039;t been compressed either. The thickness is constant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
