  1. I recently read George Orwell's "Keep The Aspidistra Flying" in which the main character frequently laments the shame of paying for anything in those tiny threepence coins. The ambitious but starving artist usually throws them away rather than have the gall of passing them off as currency!
  2. Thanks, Pengiun. Yeah I saw the template and advice page, but was interested in a fellow first-time auctioneer's first impressions. Good luck with finalising it and any future sales.
  3. Hi Penguin, I've been thinking of running my first auction here soon too. Wondering if you had any first time experiences to pass on, other than the initial auction length being long? I'll probably offer to post first when I do one ~ if the winner has a decent amount of forum usage or any purchase feedback at all.
  4. I used to gather up all I could of these little pieces of history! At some point I could no longer lift the treasure chest they were stored in, and decided I had better move on to something more manageable for now. Still a very accessible way to keep and enjoy silver, though. Good luck with sales.
  5. Love that big fiver. Modified effigy which ran for just two years, mintage of 3'315 according to Numista. I've been gathering one of each effigy type and somehow overlooked this Maklouf mod.
  6. As something of a Japan weeb myself, I find these fascinating! Though I'm on the hunt for gold myself right now. But I wanted to show some enthusiasm. I should go look up mintage stats. Were these ones acquired direct from Japan Mint?
