Outted

@Gruff We can suffer together, I've a list that includes @BackyardBullionand @LiquidMetalsUK . Might have to sell some stuff, sure I've a spare child kicking around.

Some great stuff in this thread, that's me sorted with browsing this evening! Meanwhile very happy to have received this today from @StBeesSilver . Delighted with it....I fear a hand poured collection coming on!

It's the best pre 1820 coin group out there IMHO the knowledge of British hammered coins is outstanding.

Love the Cobra, can't see to find anywhere in UK selling them, any ideas?

Here's a spin for you, going through a bag of pre 1920s silver (which I got from @stefffana thank you very happy) I noticed almost without exception the reverse of shillings and sixpences was more worn that the obverse, so weaker strike? Less deeply engraved dies? Just occurred to me the pressure of the strike should be same for both sides shouldn't it?

Yes agree, I would be chuffed to find that.

@sixgun@ady Thank you both for taking the time. I had a moment's day dream it might be silver did think pewter, really useful info I shall pass that on to the owner of the pieces. @Admin please move to non precious of you think it needs to

Good afternoon all. I've seen these hallmark's today on a couple of items, I've had a quick Google and frankly going to take a month! So I thought I know a forum where someone will know! Are they silver or pewter marks? The item's look silver but honestly not a scooby. If pewter and in wrong place apologies to the admin team, please move as you see fit. To anyone that takes the time to look thank you. Attached picture from the bottom of one small plate.

Yes out a few times a week with the dog, that's how I got into coins and stacking. Make sure you permission is best advice I can give and remember you have to walk over it. Attached my best gold find to date

Thank you

Now that's lovely

Found it, tree of life really do like that.

Enjoyed this thread thank you all. @SilverDrumwhat coin is this? I absolutely love it.

Read this thread with interest, as a new stacker and new (ish) collector the simple reason I'm with silver is cost, much as I would love to be pumping spare money into stacking gold it would be very much a purchase every few months giving me a less versatile stack. By concentrating on silver I get the buying buzz more often, can afford spur of the moment purchase's if a deal presents itself and should I need to cash any out then yes a quick sale will undoubtedly cost me, but with time to sell I don't believe I will be massively out of pocket. Gold for now is the future, decent year with the day job that will hopefully change but covid has given my business a fair hit in the balance sheet. A

Thanks for the welcome all. Already found new targets via the forum links. Great place

Evening all New member found forum via youtube had an interest for a few years, looking at stacking as a way to hold funds for the long term as well as expanding the coin collection, plan at the moment for a little as often as I can. Don't have a system sussed as yet I'm just buying a different 1oz bullion coin when I get one of each I like thinking may look at bars who knows. Also try to pick up old crowns etc if i can.
