Thought you might! Another stunner.

I never realised how hard it would be to get this set complete.... Took 5 yrs, a lot of money, patience and a BIG help from @arphethean who made this possible!!!

£385 posted, can we have a deal?

[asemp]

I think that's what I paid for the 2004 & 2005!!!😲 (maybe a bit less, but near enough).

This is an expensive hobby, but well worth it

Received this Charles I (1625-49) Halfgroat, mm: Book.  Aberystwyth Mint 1638-1642. 1g, Spink 2902.

Last photo’s of the little coin, next to its larger counterpart, an Aberystwyth Groat, both coins in a lovely state of preservation 👍 

An interesting article from ‘The Metal in Britain’s coins’:

‘The mint at Aberystwyth had its beginnings in July 1637 when Bushell had the idea of coining at the source rather than sending the mined silver for coining to London and petitioned that it would stimulate the Welsh mining industry with predictions of increased output if the adits to drain water from the mines reached their capacity, and which could lead to other mines in England being used for coining in a similar fashion. The Mint in London was against the idea, but King Charles asked for Bushell to visit and was persuaded by his charm to back him. The agreement to set up a mint in Aberystwyth Castle with the Crown taking a 10% share with overall supervision from the Warden of the Mint Sir William Parkhurst. Coins were struck at 0.925 fineness at £3/2/- a pound with Welsh plumes with Halfcrown, Shilling, Sixpence, Half-Groat and Penny. In February 1638 patterns were also approved to forward minting of Groats, Threepences and Halfpennies and all carry the open book mint mark.’

Knew nothing of this, thank you for the post as it's piqued my interest 🌞

A few months worth of purchases that I've just managed to pick up thanks to easyjet for cheap flights from Cyprus.

Worked out cheaper than international post... And I get to visit the family, which is nice 😆

Not to mention the savings thanks to you lovely people on the forum, the BYB buyers club and some eBay deals probably more than covered the flights! 👍🏽

Im in Cyprus in a few weeks, is that a good place to buy?  Any shops you'd recommend?

Unfortunately, not really. There's one site I buy most of my stuff from that has a nice selection and reasonable prices. It's called Coins & Treasures. 

Haven't really found any coin shops. It's mostly antique shop that also have coins. But the prices are inflated.

Looks like KDG has a shop in Pafos, but according to their site they don't have any silver and gold is very limited
