<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 2474696, member: 40017&quot;]Glad to have been of assistance!</p><p><br /></p><p>I would be interested to know which books you have ordered? The Spinks annual book is the standard over here and will do most of your needs, though the prices are not kept up to date as well as they might. The North treatise on hammered coins (in 2 volumes) is very academic and will nail down pretty much anything in the end, but is very short on diagrams and pictures so you need to know quite a lot before you can use it effectively.</p><p><br /></p><p>Baldwin is certainly one of the best coin auctioneers in the UK, so I am sure you will get a good hammer price. Bear in mind that sellers commission in the UK at the top auctions is quite high - working out to 25% or more including tax. Local auctions can be much lower - around 15 to 20% but they get much less coverage. If you are selling a lot at Baldwins negotiate on the commission before you commit - they can reduce seller&#039;s commission if you are selling a lot and they really want your coins!</p><p><br /></p><p>I would be interested to see your sixpence - have you posted anywhere on here?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
