And I thought this fella was special. -
1806 imperfect 1 and zero only found in proof penny?

I think Colin Cooke should be reliable. -

A brave call from that photo. Fingers crossed. -
The US "unique" - i.e. ten a penny.

This horror I think.

I remember an Estonian decathlete called Erki Nool which to me sounded distinctly like a sports injury. -
I'd send it back.

I once asked him about a 1797 penny, which he immediately relisted for £100 more than it was advertised for.

I've always thought torcoins was a complete shyster. Exorbitant prices for genuine coins, but this does take the biscuit.

Thank you. If I'd read the article properly I'd have seen that 1875 obverse 11 is only paired with J2. -

Dracott reverse J# or J2 please? Britannia's eye does seem to be recessed but I'm unconvinced by the date - width seems right for J2 but the numerals aren't as thin as I would expect. -

Stan Laurel? I thought it was Half Man Half Biscuit. 😆

Only from the point of view that this is the first coin I have used in a domestic transaction with a monarch other than The Queen. Apart from that it's just as collectible as any other 50p to me. If I come across a commemorative I keep them but I have little interest in modern mint issues. The quality of our coins has taken a real nosedive in the last 20 years. I mean, Paddington? F****** Paddington?
