  1. Absolutely nothing wrong with these products as long as they are used for a mane meal. P.S. Congrats to Paulus on the Frozen horses skit. onlyme.
  2. I sold the fantasy crown for peanuts(I don't even know where it came from ) I have a gold set that I picked up as a curiosity. I wish I knew more about them as I've only ever seen one other set and have no idea of the gold content. I think London Coins have sold a few various sets. I seem to remember the shilling is sterling, but I was collecting monarchs and it filled a gap and was fun at the time. I don't recall much paperwork with it, I just stuck it in a capsule. I'll have to see what details I can find. The portrait really isn't very good! As you are aware Tom I am a complete novice what would such a "shilling" go for ? onlyme
  3. I hope this post is not misplaced but as a newbie and this thread is abt. pennies I thought the forum would be able to guide me as the grading of this coin I feel it is very good for its age but the colour is dark. thanks in anticipation. Sorry file too big to upload reverse as well will repost. . Hi, you'd be better starting a new thread for this (you've just 'threadjacked'). However, your penny is around VF - perhaps slightly better, in terms of wear - and its colour is pretty typical of the series. It looks as though it has been rubbed (I hope not by you!) but isn't overtly 'cleaned' in appearance. The reverse is also VF+ for wear only , but looks as though it has been attacked by the deadly green virus we know as verdigris; I can spot some green staining and there are a few corroded patches. The date is quite common, and the penny would only be worth a pound or two. Worth keeping until something better turns up, but do be careful if storing with other pennies, as that 'green' can spread. thanks for the advice sorry for misposting,(threadjacking) I am not greatly concerned re any value in the coin it was more an exercise in grading.
  4. You'll do well on eBay ;-) If your coin's as good as the one you've posted, I'll buy it! I rather suspect it isn't! Good luck with the collecting, you'll never come to the end of it! Here is an effort, hope it works, I think it is good and this has not been cleaned, any comment appreciated. Very nice, have you got a photo of the other side, and how much are you looking for? Not sure about this side, I forgot what size I made the last one here goes anyway. I dont know what I want I am open to offers, I only started a couple of weeks ago and I collect shillings this was in a pail of coins I got for the shillgs contained in it. I would not be offended at any offer. Dont think this is a good pic. What about a good old-fashioned swap...online, for fun? If you're new to it all, we could have a forum-guided look at a couple of my old shillings, what do you reckon? If you can wait until Sunday evening, I'll post up a couple of options for you to ponder on, maybe the forum chaps and lady could throw in there twelve- penneth worth and help you out? Fancy it? Suits me Coinery not a problem. Thanks for the offer. OK, great stuff, I'll start a new thread on Sunday evening and post up pictures of a few shillings, and see what you think. The last thing I ever swapped was a pannini football card around 1978 or 79 :-) Sorry coinery, old age does not visit alone, out of interest what kind of date/s were you thinking, just to save you going to the bother if I have them. Cheers.

  8. Thanks Colin G. I had seen a comment re cleaning/polishing and thouht it best not to do so. I think on here I was seeing folks looking for certain year pennies some of which I have but they are dirty but I still would not touch them. i appreciate the information, it all adds to the knowlwedge base.

Hi well here is my attempt at posting a pic of my own coin, I think it as good as the other mine has net been cleaned I fear the other has, I may very well be wrong no experience never mind expert. Glad of any comments.
  12. Hi folks, THought I would post this as it is not my line of interest, I have no idea of value etc. only been collecting a few weeks. Any and all comments welcome apart that is about the poor photography. I have just noted the file allowance and my pic is well above so I have used a library pic mean time.
  13. Hi tom, Thanks for the welcome, much appreciated unfortunately I have not started at the Charles Ist. stage I have started at the poorer end of shillings, i.e. the most modern and intend working back as funds permit. I have recently sold off some duplicate tools etc. all proceeds will go to the shilling fund. It is I have to say quite addictive. Sorry to dissapoint regarding copper but I found a farthing among some coins I got it is my only Charles Ist. It is about 1625 I believe and in striking condition, I also found a Victora 1887 penny, although very dark in colour they are beautiful coins.
