On 10/13/2022 at 11:59 AM, Master Jmd said:Interesting. From my notes I now have the following variants for the 1953 farthings:
- 1 + A
- 1 + A VIP proof
- 1 + A matte proof
- 1 + B
- 2 + A
- 2 + A proof
- 2 + B
- 2 + B proof
- 2 + B matte proof
- 2 + ? VIP proof (the variant from this thread)
The £6,500 listing you mention supposedly included a 2 + B VIP proof, but I'm not sure if there are any features of the coin which would make it differ in any way from the usual 2 + B proof, so I'm not including that on the list above.
I don't know if matte proof variants exist for 1 + B and 2 + A. The 1 + A and 2 + B both sold through Heritage (https://www.ha.com/c/search-results.zx?N=790+231&Nty=1&Ntt=farthing+1953+matte+proof&ic10=ArchiveTab-071515).
Looks like I'm going to have my work cut out if I want to acquire all of these variants. 😧
I think i may have a 1-B proof anyone want to see pics ? Its in my collection

Thank god for the recent rain we have needed it up north as well - I do know that the south is pretty desperate so presume its been very wellcome
-
Many folks just pic the rarest coin in a series and claim there's is that .
It's pointless emailing and telling them they are wrong , they are not interested
-
Gold shines yes and theres lots of that in circulation isn't there LOL
-
Is that artificial grass i spot there, tut, tut.
A shotgun does wonders against tree rats I here , its not illegal as they are immigrants .They make a great stew I here.
A couple of outdoor chairs would give it more a lived in feel.

Looking better certainly - its got lots of promise

17 hours ago, Sword said:I don't think there is any conflict of interest TBH. The royal mint is obliged to supply the public with circulating coins which they do. Their other interest is just to make as much money as possible. I don't imagine they would care where that money comes from.
Like a criminal or terrorist then - by the way I am pretty sure they make more from coins that DON'T circulate now many circulating coins probably cost way more to produce than their face value.
I am pretty sure soon you will be seeing in the papers about bronze pennies and twopences being melted

By doing this they put themselves in a "Conflict of interests" between themselves and the public .
In other words they end up making more money from the public and "Investors"
At least if these were sold by an unrelated auction house there would be no connection between the producer and the consumer.

totally stunning , acers are to gardeners now as rhodenendrons were to the victorian gardener.
They can be a bit fussy with the soil they are in, but when they like a position the really excell themselves

I bought the loveliest little Acer from asda the other day for a fantastic £4 for that price you are not to bothered if it fails to mak it into next year

Sadly there are many people who will take advantage of someone who cannot (due to age or other reasons) do their garden I have been improving mine for nearly four years now and even some of the basics like the pond i have planned to do have not been done .
There will come a time when I cannot do heavy work , its rapidly aproaching
