still waiting for my first 1.
Posted 02/06/2016 12:32 pm
Been a while since I last posted.... Not a lot happening really (Except my house caught fire so I'm living in a pokey flat in a terrible area for the next couple of months, without my coins !! :( ).
I've been working on my up & coming database website quite a lot... a full re-design & re-branding of my old site (I'm still keeping it basic tho)
All I will say is, the old site has [I think] 716 coins... The new site currently has only 270 coins but the new site is about quality of images and information, not quantity.
I'm also ditching the ERRORS section... It's something that does interest me, but my coins are only from circulation and I don't know enough about it all or have enough 'wow factor' errors to make it worthwhile.
I might have the site up and running in a month or so, but the motto images will have to be the same quality as the ones on my current site if I do, as no access to the coins and no access to decent photography equipment to take new ones either !!
Now that's out of the way...
Came across 3 unique types this week in change (2 were thanks to my old lady yesterday) and one new type from ebay.
(Nothing special.. a 2002 Celtic Cross with the commonest edge motto [I think], a 1993 Flax with the kiddies 'Crayon' style edge motto, a 1994 Rampant with the Diagonal S style edge motto and the one from ebay was a lead/alloy 1994 Rampant with realistic Nemo edge motto - £1.99 delivered - I couldn't resist.)
There's a fake Marconi £2 come to light... first known for this design... unfortunately they wouldn't sell :(
Also came across fake £2 with no edge motto... and believe it or not it WASN'T a Chinese fake !! haha
