Yeah, I saw that, too, Oli ... troubling, isn't it

Especially if, like me, you can't spot artificial toning.

I'll look forward to it, sir

Thanks, Oli

The surfaces on that one are nearly prooflike.

You guys like toned British coins, too ???

Cool !!! I just love 'em

Like this, for example ...

Great Britain Victoria "Jubilee Head" coins:

Maundy set in UNC. or FDC, 1887 date preferred.

KM#760 Sixpence, UNC., 1887 date preferred.

KM#759 Sixpence, Shield reverse, UNC., 1887.

KM#761 Shilling, Small Bust, UNC., 1887 date preferred.

KM#774 Shilling, Large Bust, UNC., any date.

Please PM me if you have any of these available.

Thanks !!!

Neat error, McDoo

I love the design and colors on that note, too

I love them. Great tokens. They should make quite a splash in the others or copper catagories for our next BCPI.

 

I'm glad to hear there will be another BPCI

I obviously enjoyed the last one

Great to see you made it back

Beautiful ancient, but what is that dead animal thing on the reverse

Choose our titles?  With old CP it was 100 posts right?  I'm at 200.

I heard they were gonna make that happen at 10,000 ...

... to teach you about patience

Thank you, sir

I rather like those old copper things

1795 Halfpenny sized Conder Token. Yorkshire, York. Obverse: York Cathedral. Reverse: Clifford's Tower A.D. 1100 DH.63

1794 Halfpenny sized Conder Token. Somersetshire, Bath. Botanic Gardens Gate. Scriptures. Tree and ruins. Scriptures. DH.26

1794 Halfpenny sized Conder Token The Union of Appledore Kent around windmill. Peace Innocence and Plenty around lion and lamb. DH.3.

Wow, Art ... great collection

Gothic is nice, but your new conders are fantastic, Tom! I absolutely love them.

Thanks, Boss

Now, where should I post those ...

Okay, first ... DON'T clean them !!! A "bath" in acetone will remove most organics (finger oils, circulation dirt, boogers, etc.) but never rub the coin with anything. You could ruin the value of the coin.

Storage options are all over the place and include cardboard 2x2's (the kind you staple are usually preferred), Kraft envelopes (not used by a lot of people anymore as they can have some acids in the paper), Airtites (an inert plastic product which can get expensive), and see-thru flips. The flips come in a variety of types ... best ones are SaFlips (or equal) which are made of a rather stiff Mylar and contain no PVC. Avoid any and all storage products that contain PVC because it will ruin the coins stored therein.

I'm sure others will be here to answer you with thier preferences

How about Gothic Florins

(Yeah, I know ... y'all get tired of this, don't ya')

Holy cow Those are awesome

Beautiful notes, guys

Those notes are cool, Colin ... er ... Corina

I've pared my stuff down for now ... Current things I'm working on include:

Victorian type set,

George IV type set,

Canadian type set,

Australian type set,

British shillings and florins by type.

A handful of selected coins of The Vatican.

Stuff I still have (for now) but am not actively collecting anymore includes:

US Type set (Dansco album version)

US Large cents,

US Half cents,

and a wild OFEC collecting attempt

Now, that sounds like a neat experience

You didn't have my address

... ya' want it ???

Hi, everyone
