      more FAKES

      By ColdHands · Posted

      Thank you. I was hoping QV to 1947 silver coins would not be faked because they're not all that rare but now the forum's loading faster l can appreciate they do get faked.    If not-so-rare coins are being faked then l'd guess the selling points for fakes (i.e. ways to squeeze money out of the transaction) would be: 1. Quality i.e. very fine, uncirculated (though l've seen some patinaion on this thread!) 2. Silver denominations, but not really silver   Therefore l'm hoping buying grimy silver coins from QV upward that pass the magnet test, would be a safe bet - what do you think?

      List of UK legal tender coins (especially silver)

      By ColdHands · Posted

      Hi okay but l need a specific list of silver coins at least. From what l can tell, as seemingly agreed upon by @wlewisiii, we have: SILVER, PRE-1947: - All crowns (CLARIFICATION NEEDED: l'm presuming since the Great Recoinage of 1816, right?) - Double florin - Some sovereigns - CLARIFICATION NEEDED: specifics needed (though they aren't something l'm really interested in personally, it'd be nice to have a list) - Maundy money (CLARIFICATION NEEDED: l'm presuming since the Great Recoinage of 1816, right?)

      List of UK legal tender coins (especially silver)

      By Nick · Posted

      Legal tender has a pretty narrow defintion.  It basically means what can be used to settle a debt, in the absence of contracted payment terms.  Here is a snippet from the Bank of England website: "So, what counts as legal tender? It varies throughout the UK. In England and Wales, it is Royal Mint coins and Bank of England notes. In Scotland and Northern Ireland, it is only Royal Mint coins and not banknotes. There are also some restrictions when using small coins. For example, 1p and 2p coins only count as legal tender for any amount up to 20p. And 5p and 10p coins only count for any amount up to £5. But £1 and £2 coins count as legal tender for any amount."

      William III 1696 ? Six Pence

      By Paddy · Posted

      The typos keep coming! I think you mean 1696, not 1996! I knew what you meant the first time, so I didn't comment.
