Thanks guys Dale he had it just before Christmas as he was very busy and I missed my slot to have the work done ( my fault ) I reckon he worked on it for 4-5 days mate. As I said how he managed to restore the broken hammereds is mind blowing, he also showed me a Roman Aureus ( double headed) it was beuitifully struck but had some pretty bad scratches before restoration, after..... simply stunning mate

That's not bad Its a hammered coin I want done, I spoke to a friend this morning regarding your ring and the great job what's been done, and found out Barry does my mates coins so I have his contact number now Its a small world

Cheers Paul

Dale he has worked on 2 coins for me. One was an Edward 111 qtr noble and the other a William 1 canopy type hammered. The Eddy was a scarcer type but had sustained quite a bit of damage. Barry did an excellent job and even talked me out of further work to the coin. It was his opinion that any further work would not have improved the coin, or it's value any further. The William 1 was found folded and flattened in half, with some other little edge folds. What I paid I consider to be inexpensive, given the obvious increase in their value after repair. Above all they look far better in my collection.

The third job I had done was on a silver gilt posey ring that had been disclaimed. The inscription read 'Love and Serve'. I found the ring broken and with the E at the end missing. He joined the ring back together complete with the missing E. As with Paul's ring he 'weathered' the newer added section. See my pm.
