    Lloyd;

    Have we seen one too many reruns of McHale's Navy?image

    Captain Binghamton (Joe Flynn) was well known for the What, what , What...McHale?!?

    Have you attended any coin faires lately? I keep my eyes open for quality British and it is getting harder to buy

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    << <i>Lloyd;

    It's getting VERY difficult to buy. I looked through Spink's site the other day: 1926 ME Penny in GVF £750 !! I think everyone's trying the rabbit-in-the-headlamp trick. I was so hypnotized I almost bought it.

    TIP: collect British Farthings in High Grade ..... Get a Type Set to start - From Elizabeth back. The older one's in as high a grade as you can afford.

    Free Advice again ... wuss gonon?

    Now that's a good example of thoughtful collecting - we have an 1860 bronze coin in BU full lustre and I bet it cost next to nothing because ............

    why students ...?

    because it's a 'common' date.

    Another question, how many do you see like that these days?

    Hi Lloyd:

    I wasn't asking for advise (free or otherwise), I just thought it would be fun to talk coins. From where I sit, it seems quality British material is still doing quite well. I picked up a fairly clean 1731 1/2 crown... (later graded EF 45 by ANACS) the George II young portraits are not easy to find in a quality circulated grade. My recent purchase of a 1739 Crown was graded AU58. I rarely see these coins in this state of preservation.

    A decent EF example of a young portrait George II Crown can be bought for slightly less than a common date U.S. Bust dollar in EF, even though I believe they are much tougher to find.

    I do think that better date farthings in the highest possible grade will do well too.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    wow...!

    1739 crown in AU58 is going some these days. Good coin.
