copper123 replied to copper123's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
I had a blackberry crumble the other day apples pinched from a trust property and blackberries found free in a hedge why does food taste better when its free? -

Apparently the national trust now has over six million members up from two million in the year 2000, I gave in a joined early on this year and have been having a free day out nearly every weekend and have enjoyed every minute of it . Running out of places nearby to go too though now, LOL One of my faves is the little known biddulph Grange gardens Partner is looking a bit fed up when i mention another stately house miles away though. -

Yep the shops are full of total rubbish - mostly from china at extortionate prices. Some strange people must buy it though or else it would never be for sale there . where there's a hole someone will want to fill it. the food is about 3x the price in supermarkets as well, it don't taste any better just cause it's local -

It is on common land yes so is free to enter but the national trust run the two ajoining museums and charge £4 for each one so unless you want to remain in the dark about the circles history you really need to visit at least one. Corfe castle is in a very pretty area i agree the village is superb, the national trust have also run a couple of nearby beaches across from millionaires row "sandbanks " they charge a hefty fee for parking there as well. -

Stonehenge is national heritage yes but it works in partnership with the national trust as they own surrounding land so you get in free , Corfe and Avebury manor are both NT -

I love the way he thinks he can default on the scotch part of the national debt then think that the new country will be regarded as a good credit risk by the international credit sharks out there. Salmon for tea ,more like sardines

copper123 replied to Colin88's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
MMMMMM very nice - shame about the light strike though , and do i detect a bit of wear on the curls between the ear and the nose . A far from perfect coin , rev is far better -
Not a martin platt coin by any chance is it?

copper123 replied to Colin88's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
There tend to be a lot of penny collectors so the market sez it all really , I would have a guess at there being around 50 copper pennies and less than 10 copper farthings and halfpennies. it is true that you often see them for sale - remember the same coin is sometimes put for sale with two or more dealers - increases the chance of a sale -
1717 Halfpenny…..
copper123 replied to Michael-Roo's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
i would go with that - impaired proof almost certainly -
290 farthings 1896-1951
copper123 replied to Rohan's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
All look like ideal items for the melting pot , sorry -
And the new variety is called "mule but not a mule" and is 2000% more expensive than an ord toothed border coin and used by slabbing firms to extract money from their customers, thus being very useful- too themselves

1889 Crown - Did I Grade It Correctly?
copper123 replied to furryfrog02's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
attractive good fine reverse is pushing near very fine,reverse wear on obverse lets it down badly. nice beginners coin though and i have seen many many in worse grade -
Back to the original subject anyone see the EF grade mule (slabbed) finish on ebay at nearly £200 . Someone was really stiitched up as it clearly was not a mule even a child could see that. One born every minute

It's a copy ? Looks like the real thing to me

You would prob get an easy £2 each on ebay if they are totally perfect - a better investment than the building society certainly

I doubt that there are bags of 1953 farthings 2+a out there , but what there could be is a bags where 10% or more of the coins are 2+A , that is more likely
