A busy day at James and Sons

I have just spent the entire day imaging at James and Sons, having attended to a large number of lots, including all the coins and all the stamps for the June auction. As a result I have a large number of quality images to share, to the extent that I am holding some of them over until tomorrow.

I have had confirmation that my new camera has arrived, and I will be picking it up from my aunt’s house this evening.

The day began with some very intriguing stuff – three large exhibiting boxes full of ribbons and rosettes, before moving to the slightly more workaday.

Don’t forget – if you are reading this and have not already done so please like http://www.facebook.com/GreatAuction and/ or follow http://www.twitter.com/great_auction.

This style of 2d piece stopped being produced after the discovery that the value of the copper was actually more than the face value of the piece!
