    The great coronation rip-off in full swing.. some joker wants £20,000 for the Charles 2022 50p (it's not even a proof!), and someone else £17,000-.. makes Coincraft look cheap!

    I got one for £1 BU as well


  2. Hey there some of us have only a couple of these coins - it would be great if a full or near full set appeared in pics on here so that I knew what I was looking for.

    My Dracunculus vulgaris has flowered this year but instead of the usual 1 flower we have 5, 4 are now open and the stinking of rotting meat is terrible if you get within a couple of feet! 🤢😁

    Replace with night scented stocks - they are much nicer esp in august - really easy to grow as well...

    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

    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

  6. 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

    If only life was as easy as "Garden Rescue"
