1972 was never released into circulation, so only proof.
-
if you do Lizzy.. get a 72 set. why 1935? I would go for 36, unless it is because of the crown.
-
could just turn it over
-
the 1985 obverse, to me, seems to be different from the later ones on all the coins, text seems thinner, beads, even the strike seems different.

the royal mint, a public service or a licence to print money?

someone on a facebook group had contacts within the mint, it was 1.8m in August. -

I'm more interested in the Halfpennies, as those seem to be rare -
Mintage numbers
scott replied to jasonsewell's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
where are the actual figures per coin there though. -
cant be doing with all the 50ps either, don't need 5+ designs a year. post 1971 tat? my 1972 proof set disagrees.
-
got a few Lincoln seemingly struck on a larger piece of silver Bury st Edmund's
-
first thing is pretty nice though.
-
should just ban selling circulation coins for profit.. that's half of ebay cleared
-
also 2017 ones the watermark feature the £ is clearly visible nearly all the time.

Interesting article re 1954 Penny
scott replied to argentumandcoins's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
no orders for 1954 so they melted them down? how did 1 get into circulation then? -
some of the details at a glance would be the corners some seem more rounded, not really noted anything else.
-
still not got one of the wrong sided ones.. got a fair few 2016 and 2017s to check for details now though.
-
as does the Cyrillic in the title
-
no no, just saying, in regards to the 1875 H fake, I can see it is fake right away, but looking at it the differences are minor so still have to check.. hence the comparison to the ME, I can see it if I had the coin Obverse side, or in a pile, but if I was handed a 1926 reverse side, I would still have to check, especially where the key marker is worn.
-
I have an 1845 with a very weak/ no top dot after DEF as well...which I posted ages ago
-
looks like Spanish Netherlands

British error penny on a foreign planchet
scott replied to will1976's topic in Enquiries about Non British coins
hong kong 20 cents perhaps? -
it has the look of being fake, but you can't tell why. I have the same thing with the Geo V modfied effigy.. if i pick up a coin with that head I know it is one... (and usually 1927 :() but if I pick up an 1926 I spend a good while checking.. even though i can tell at a glance the 2 heads.. it just looks similar but with small changes and triggers.
