Is there still a demand for bronze pennies?
Coys55 replied to RChris's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I just put my maximum bid into an auction sniper (I use Gixen) and then just ignore it until the end so I don't get drawn into a bidding war. I've won some bargains, but lost some I'd probably have bid up but possibly overpaid for. - Yesterday

Good evening, I'm new here and I would show this penny to receive your opinion. It shares the features of a currency coin, but the colour, the relief and the die flaws makes me think of a proof or prooflike coin. It has the ship with 5 gunports. And, also: what happened to the rim of the reverse? Thank you in advance🙂

Victorian Penny Forgeries
Paddy replied to safi's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
OK - so I have copied it across: "I am not sure there are any experts specifically on Victorian penny forgeries, but there are lots of Penny experts here, who can spot a forgery a mile off! Are you looking at contemporary forgeries (I am not aware there are many of those), or the ubiquitous modern fakes? I think a new thread would be best." -

None of what you just said makes sense now as I split the post you responded to into a new topic, here: Now I understand how that feature works! -

I split this to a new topic (sorry Paddy, thought it would take your reply with it). -

can I just ask if there are any experts on Victorian penny forgeries or do I have to start a new thread?

I don't profess to follow or understand your rational, but hey, each to his own. I've always found that a low start attracts more interest and anything will eventually achieve it's current worth. If I get less than I paid, so be it and if someone gets a bargain, lucky them. I had it as BIN for £200 but no one did. -

The little spot at 7 o'clock is a stain. Still no further along, will decide to leave it as it is for now.

It has a tiny A+M on the bottom rev exergue which means its a joint effort between Allan and Moore

Historical books & movies recommendations

Have been watching the series "Tudors" these days and am almost at the end of it. Feels like a perfect introductory watch to the two movies "Elizabeth" with Cate Blanchett! Quite some tumultuous years! How does everyone like this series? Still need to buy a good book on the various monarchs! Cheers all!
