One thing you CAN count on is none of your mates here will "Up an Leave you" :friends::drinks: :ok:

Yeah, what he said. Really sorry to hear, especially how she did it. Been there, done that, and it always hurts. Wish I'd thought of retail therapy to ease the pain.

And a lovely haul it is too. If you're going to list some of them, why not post asking prices here and see if you get any bites? You might even start a bidding war, especially on that great rainbow... :angel:

Thanks everyone. One positive is i should have a bit more time and doh for coins now.

 You'll get back in the saddle eventually so live it up while you can

To walk out after 5 years & not say a word Matt,Mate ya better off without her !
Next time round you'll have to ask if they have any interests in your hobby  LOL & yes the up side is you don't have to ask " anyone " if you want to buy a coin with your money LOL.

Thanks fellas.

Fulvio at the moment im only selling the mule which will pop up on ebay on Sunday. Im still salivating over the rainbows so will be holding them for a while at least. Might sell the 1972 clipped 20c soon.

Accumulator theres not too many young birds collecting coins. I might just have to settle for someone who I don't need to ask permission from

[robbiegal]

I  got my hubby collecting coins
so there are women out there who really do have a passion for the hobby
 
but be warned ; it can get a bit competitive at times too! ha ha

Sorry mate
I thought they were all for sale
I didn't mean to offend by offering to purchase that halfpenny

[enworb]

No you didn't offend me at all Robbie. Flattered you like it. I paid $40 for it which I probably where the money is anyway.

[robbiegal]

Good buy
a beautiful coin indeed

[enworb]

Its my avatar now

It actually didn't look that nice in the shop. It had been stored in a soft PVC flip for quite some time and had a haze to it. I acetoned it when I got home last night and that when its true beauty really shone through.

[robbiegal]

Perfect - looks fab!!!
A beautiful halfpenny to brighten up your night

that acetone sounds like good stuff
I bought an expensive bottle of it from the pharmacy but it near knocked me out when I used it

so the bottle sits in the laundry now
probably evaporating, I suppose

[enworb]

I usually get a 500ml bottle from the local hardware store. First time I used it about a year ago I spilt it all over the wooden dining room table. Safe to say a fair few profanities were blurted out on that occasion. Now I use it at a old workbench.

Acetone is amazing stuff (don't put your nose anywhere near it) it WILL remove nasty gunk from coins without harming them, as long as you don't get impatient with it and rub too hard :ok:
If acetone doesn't remove the problem then it is a whole new ball game called CLEANING :dash1:
