Ah. So it is!

Or the Queen Mum down at the dogs cheering on hers while necking a bottle of Worthington....

...and no it doesn't ****ing work....:-(

I have a cheap 10" Dobsonian. And before Copper 123 jumps in yes I do tell that to all the girls at parties!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe their should have been a princess Margaret coin should have had a fag in her mouth and be doing a Hilda ogden

Ghastly, but the portrait is marginally better than the recent Princess Anne.

I suppose then, that you finally got it in the end.........

oh dear.......🫣

What do you think of the new design of the now available Queen Victoria. I am Not a fan and will pass on it. With a limited mintage of 75 for the £5 gold proof and with a price of £5,395 - it is an easy pass for me.

Sorry I missed this one earlier. Nice photo. What telescope do you have?

I messaged them and they have replied accepting their mistake. They have asked me what the price should be. I haven' bought one of these for years - any suggestions?

I am no longer allowed to "Edit" a post - is this intentional ? Ah, it's hidden behind the 3 dots !!!!

And it's still "BB".

They must have, because he (or she) has changed it to toothed (but it's still a "boarder" !).

... and of course toothed border, not beaded (or bearded) both sides. Has anyone told the vendor?

I've always thrown them in the copper scrap. Demonetized, so legal to weigh in.

Well.............! starting off it amazes me that I have accumulated such a diverse range of coins...... without really trying Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth coin from 1621...who would believed it Silver (.813) oh well its old and hammered so its staying with others ...... 🙄

The only date deemed scarce is 1984 - the last year they made them and mostly issued in sets. Having said that, I don't think there are many people collecting them, so may be difficult finding a buyer even for a 1984. They are still exchangeable at banks and the post office, although they hate them. Even though they weigh precisely half the 1p and so can be counted on the scales, for some reason they insist on counting them by hand!

Errrrrrrmmmm!?!?!? I still have all of these un sifted through.... any dates or rare one that I should looking out for? before handing over to a charity ..... Cheers "H"

Beautiful

I'm guessing Austria

Tbf - if it was worth 2p in 2018, it’s probably worth 1p today!

I wonder if there is, by the slimmest of chances, anyone on this forum who knows where Citrus Australasica, the 'finger lime' or 'caviar lime' is a native species? I wonder.....!
