    Sorry but I could not justify paying around £40 for one of those george v coins they are simply a bit poor for that sort of money , about £12 might be right , I surpose they are really rare though.

    Ahhh but did it get him a lenient sentence? The answer is no

    I have seen a couple of george v 1911 coins I think a shilling was one of them , they are pretty rare , I would certainly love to have a couple , soon afer 1911 the climate changed for german firms selling to the uk and never really recovered

    24 Hours in Police Custody

    He should have phoned the police first not being a policeman himself it does not even cost anything , easy to say now but the only course of action really
  5. Hope they had plenty pills as well , if so it might not have closed down in the sixties and been very popular with hippies .That beeching had no soul

    The answer to the "Albert " coin might be quite simple Albert was given the title "Prince consort" in the middle of 1857 so the "albert" coin was possably an early version before he was titled that of course means all the rest were post summer 1857. How rotten is this country giving him this title so late

    I too have a single ALBERT piece not sure how rare it is but there are at least two existing mine is in much better grade than yours though

    I am pretty sure my 1902 hairy head farthing is copper coated iron but its in such great nick I dont fancy scratching it to find out. Sounds like rogers spotted the farthing specialist 1849 quarter farthing too late after John had sold it to another collector and he never found another one , life's like that for coin collector's isn't it?

    Is it in rogers the 1849 I mean? I saw one listed in the seventies in a farthing specialist list so theres more than one hanging around

    I always thought the usa coins were really dear it always frustrates me that these lovely coins have so few fans probably less than 40 serious collectors such a shame

    Here's a rarity you will not find many of these around its a half farthing 1849

    Where do you find most of your model coins drlarry? Most of mine come from either birmingham or by searching "toy coins " on ebay must admit I dont add many to my collection now just the odd buy , I love bulk collections and the odd pickup is nice but probably around three time a year now. Searching "model coins" does get more views and thus higher prices , so i dont bother as much. Unfortunately buying this way you get lots of doubles , I usually bag them up and put them on the bay as a bulk lot

    Looks like there are a few fans on here I will post a few pics of choice coins later

    If I remember rightly it was the penny and i am pretty sure it was dated 1902 it was in about unc grade so it was not poor quality if there is a picture in rogers book it will be the one I sold him . He could have retired in the early eighties so maybe he would not use the title reverand when retired , I am pretty sure he built up his collection over 15 years or so , remember it was so much harder back then with no ebay , farthing specialist was always on the lookout for nice coins for him.

    A full set of these would be very expensive they just seem to be found as singles I am sure they were not issued in great quantities. Might be interesting to know if the farthing also appears as a dated version Rev rogers book anyone?

    And another in great grade . I remember sending one of these to the reverand rogers back in the seventies and he sent me a lovely crisp £20 note for it so there ain't many arround
