Comment by mark Callister on June 25, 2010 at 7:10pm: Hi all new to the forum, strange how far and wide we have to travel to find the coins ect we all are trying to aquire. I'm from the isle of man yet find most of the manx coins i'm looking for elsewhere, I.E Us or Australia.

Comment by Aidan Work on June 25, 2010 at 8:09pm: Welcome aboard,Mark!

Comment by mark Callister on June 29, 2010 at 4:41am: HI guys does any one trade swap coins on here or is this just a chat forum :) Also seeing as most of the better manx coins seem to be outside the UK i'm on the holly grail chase for isle of man coins 1/2 to 50p 1972-1973-1974. I just missed an auction at croydon acutions where many of these coins went through for very little value breaks your hart when you just miss them lol. Does anyone find that coins are any cheaper with the economy?

Comment by Aidan Work on June 29, 2010 at 4:47am: Mark,
There are several coin issues in the 1970's with mintage figures that are very low.

Even I find them elusive to find over here in New Zealand.

We see more of the 1980's coin issues turn up,along with quite a few of the 1 Crown medal-coins.

Does the Isle of Man still issue a 1 Pound note as well as the 1 Pound coin?

Aidan.
