Great find, interesting story.

I think the majority of them are in the wait and see mode. No positive responses yet - still waiting on a couple to answer. I’ll have to check out their website - maybe they have an dealer list.

I thought you’ve been a bit quiet. Better luck next year.

I talked to a few when the show was first announced and they said that they were not going to it, but things change so I will have to pulse them again. They did seem interested in the show, however. Good project for this morning.

Sounds like you have really found a home and new way of life in Bama.

In 1874 W.J. Amor was apprenticed to English medallists J.S. and A.B. Wyon. Nine years later he went to Paris, where he remained until 1887. Intending to go to America and work his way home to England, he visited Sydney en route and was persuaded by Robert Hunt, Deputy-Master of the Sydney Mint, to stay and start his own business. Amor established the business in 1888 and married the daughter of the Chief Engineer of the Sydney Mint. (Web) There were 600 numbered copies minted by W.J. Amor for the 1855/1955 Centenary of the Sydney Mint for the Australian Numismatic Society.

I’m envious. Too bad you don’t have time to attend a British Numismatic Society meeting or pop over to Kew and search the archives. A trip to the British Museum would be nice. cheers

Too busy and too colorful. Just my opinion.

I was watching a television show based in Oxford England. One of the haunts frequently visited was called the Eagle and Child. This reminded me of a story and coins from the Isle of Man. A very brief summary is below: The Eagle and Child is a pub in England. It has associations with a writers' group which included J.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. The first record of the pub's name is from 1684 and is said to be derived from the legend of Ganymede being abducted by the eagle of Zeus or from the crest of the Earl of Derby, with is a story of a noble-born baby found in an eagle's nest. The child was called Oskatel and was found by Sir Thomas Latham, who became the father-in-law to Sir John Stanley. Sir John Stanley was the Lord of Man (Isle of Man). His great grandson, Lord Thomas, was the first Earl of Derby. The coins below were minted to recognize James Stanley, the 10th Earl of Derby, who bore the title "Lord of Man” or “King of Man". The eagle and baby (Oskatel Latham) were taken from the Latham coat of arms. After Sir John Stanley married Isabelle Latham the eagle and baby were incorporated into the Stanley coat of arms.

I beg to differ. The setting was 1912. Guineas were long out of circulation so if the coin was gold, why else would she bite it, it was a sovereign or half sovereign. Given Rex’s library, below, it would most certainly be a full sovereign. My tuppence worth.

They were, many holders in many different configurations. I don’t have a photo of a nice half and full sovereign carry case handy. The one posted is for full sovereigns.

Kurt, here’s a sovereign holder for the fashionable gent in early 1900s England.

I haven’t been to Paris in decades and have no desire to ever go again. Scotland on the other hand is on my list to visit next, along with the Isle of Man and Northern Ireland.

And you didn’t pick me up one?

In addition to CoinElite, look at CoinManage. Both are decent

I wouldn’t bother with any 1/10 coins. For suggestions, do you want U.S. or world - does it matter? Quarter or half eagle Pre-1933 sovereign 1925 10 or 20 Polish Zloty French Napoleon or Rooster

Would have like to seen them, but sadly not.

The 1822 stands out for me. Very nice.

I am probably in the minority, but like to edit and store offline. flexible reports are a must. good luck.

They are only there for the Italian Beefs and Chicago hot dogs. Maybe a sneak visit to Berghoffs. Otherwise they’d go to Midway.

Agree! The most probable start would be Europe and Australia although others are creeping up.

I like your idea. Are you anticipating a program that will reside on the customer’s computer or is it a cloud based/server service? What are your plans for keeping up with technology as it evolves? Do you have the staff and expertise for that? you asked MorganMan about the features he likes with coinmanage. They are continually adding the coins to their database that are easily added into the collector’s sets and inventory. It is also very easy to navigate. They do have a few issues, however. One is dealing with a record that has been corrupted. I am also not crazy about their reports, but that may have been improved in recent years. Their customer service is almost non-existent. MorganMan may or may not have an opposing opinion.

No stickering yet, but with a growing market - it may not be long. Stacks or someone else. You have Wings, but that has never really taken off. If there is money to be made - someone will eventually make it.
