still to be engraved...just need to find someone trustworthy. ....... 🤔😟

Another replica penny on Ebay - I've messaged the seller but he hasn't taken it down. I hope no-one falls for it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/287481861974?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e111028.m43.l1123&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=ee1821cbf0274276908e6d80f2933171&bu=43154646029&osub=-1~1&crd=20260724145657&segname=111028

I think the coin is 9+K for the following reasons, can you let me know what you think please? Obverse: Its not obverse 7 because the first set of leaves are not nearly touching the colon after DG - Looks to have 16 leaves. - 1st set of leaves are arranged different to Obverse 8 which are more spread out. - The ribbon shows some crimping. - The nape hair seems to match up. Reverse: The lighthouse resembles most the lighthouse shown on reverse K and the date numerals are widely spaced and low in the exergue. Could you please let me know what die pairing you think the coin is. Thanks

It's expensive to ship in- you pay exide duty on it. See what I did there?

It certainly IS (both) !

I see a similar example on Secret Santa's website where the 5 looks to be doubled. Seems like there are infinite variations.

To me this looks like a short tailed 9 over a long tailed 9......in addition to a doubled 4 and a doubled 5. Groom's book mentions the 9 & 4 variations but I see nothing about a doubled 5.

So the A4 blue binder first edition (1860-1970) is not scarce or collectable?

Wow, I never knew Ever Ready made whisky! Alkaline alcohol?

🤔 yeah I get it..I have a 1930's Nickle 5 Cents the native (Liberty) Indian, it was in a poor way, I polished down the other side until blank, I'm having "Non Mortuus Tamen" added. its going to be a zip pull tag inside my Bike Jacket.🤘🏻 👊🏻

I suppose because you could and had nothing better to do? Similar to altering 1938 to resemble 1933, etc.

As do mine! Hopefully the cognac my father gave me the other day will be more ... resistant 😉

I am impressed that so many of your Whisky bottles still have contents! Mine always seem to spring a leak...

Ah! Sailor R105 made in Denmark. Nice set. 👍 And is that an Eddystone I spy! EC10 or some such.

All beer is like that Rob. I personally prefer "afters":

for me...Begs the question....Why would you attempt this?

No he didn’t Specialist edition is just 1860-1901. The Binder for sale The British Bronze Penny, you can ask what you want but £40-£50 ish and Richard Bee wanted one recently I think in here.

I wasn't aware that Gouby had produced specialised editions for monarchs following Victoria.

Infantino will be the next president with Trump as his VP.😱 I'm pretty sure the bookies will give you 5-1 on that too; they like nothing more than taking money off mugs.

The odds are five to one that Donald Trump will reshape the US constitution and win the presidency for a third time, according to William Hill. The high street bookie has begun taking bets that Mr Trump will once again take the White House in 2028, an outcome that would require a fundamental overhaul of the modern US political system. Presidents have been bound to serving no more than two four-year terms under the Twenty-Second Amendment of the Constitution, which was brought into force in 1951. However, Mr Trump has repeatedly joked about running a third time, telling his supporters last November: “I suspect I won’t be running again unless you say ‘He’s so good, we have to figure it out’.”

I am sure he's looking to issue a trump coin for his third term.

If he manufactures another world war, then he would try to retain the position, just like Roosevelt was retained in power as an emergency measure. However, someone, somewhere will take him out before that happens. 99.9% certain of that because the queue of people chomping at the bit would go round the White House many times over. Sanity will be restored once the Senate and Congress regain their moral compass, and the Supreme Court grow a pair of balls rather than kow-towing to his ego.
