Kew Gardens 50P Hype
copper123 replied to copper123's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I think the dailly mail is very wrong to think there are 200000 or so of these coins in circulation , most have been pulled out of circulation long ago i think there is probably only 25 000 or so in circulation now I bet you would have to hunt through £50 000 of 50p coins to stand an even money chance of getting one -

Good Fine Mule £875 Any Takers?
copper123 replied to copper123's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
That's a good price it would not have fetched £100 eight or so years ago -
I see the mule farthing has decreased in price , at this rate it should fetch the £150 or so it is worth by the time christmas comes along

well , yes forgeries and evasions would outnumber the genuine coins . Forgeries on their own would probably not, as you say, though they made up a very significant amount of the coinage back then

spink are quite expensive on their 1797 prices when you come into the real world you find they are quite a bit cheaper. this is not the only coin they over or under price it's done regular throughout the catalogue. no publication it totally accurate , so you have to give a bit of leeway. probaby searching compleated listings on ebay gives a better idea of value

Look What My Missus Found In Her Change Yesterday.
copper123 replied to Phil FK's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
My guess would be that some short sighted old git had been rumageing around in a 20p box in a local collectors fair and had left it in his pocket by mistake. Immediate loss for him and a thrill for your missus , if you pardon the expression -
