It has been nestling in the garage for the last 3 years...going for the MOT on Wednesday after a complete oil and fluid transfusion.My mother (84 yrs old)has just got out of Papworth after a triple bypass....she wants to do the fast shopping trip again....I'm not trying to kill her off....honestly. My MG is an immaculate Ltd edition Cool Blue and my 22&20 yr old daughters have suddenly taken a greater interest in Dad. May I just say the NHS Doctors/Nurses and ancillary workers are the Dogs Bollox. PS We managed to get her into a convalescence home for a couple of weeks,she has made new friends and the smile is back. The old boot buys me a coin at Xmas and my birthday...great Mum.

I'll probably have my nose in a book too.

Just like the Hitchikers guide to the galaxy (second edition) said the earth was "Mostly harmless" The mail is "Mostly bullshit"

New addition to my Short cross collection. Cheap at £40 inc p&p from California 😃 King John Class 5c - Struck roughly 1206 - 07 AD. Moneyer Beneit at London mint.

I've seen a garage floor done like that - and the RM have a mini covered in pennies too (bet that doesn't get down the road now!).

Hello guys, I picked up this very miss treated silver hammered coin (I think its hammered, looks thin for milled and its clipped) but it might be milled...scottish? From the original photo I saw I thought it may have been a very worn commonwealth crown but it appears not as the identifiable wreath is not the same style as found on the commonwealth crowns. Facts: Apparently found metal detecting in the UK A little bigger than a Charles I half crown Surface area is significantly worn, only the wreath part is identifiable, the other patterns may be features of the coin, or they may be the mottled effects of the tool that has caused so much damage. Nothing is identifable on the other side. Any help would be appreciated!

Does that say common or conman?

I think after almost 10 years he's probably given up on this one 🤔

I think his name was Faegan.

These machines also take pre decimal 1/2d's or so have been told....next time a numbnuts says he has a £5 bag of 1967 1/2d's the kids can play the fruit machines for a couple of weeks. 50 2p's to £1 or 480 1/2d's...maybe a good investment.

I wonder why his Grandad collected fake slabs?

How much do you think 2p is worth einstein? I suggest you google before posting saves embarrassment

only 20 grams short on weight. Sorry but if people cannot be bothered to research something that's going to cost them a best part of a £1000 they open themselves up to this kind of scam. Knowledge is power and safety to a certain degree but it at least prevents you from buying this sort of garbage. Fools to themselves on their heads be it.

I am beginning to think that the blue boxes I have seen are just discoloured / sun bleached green ones .

Ebay just gets spookier n spookier by the day. What will people trade / sell for a £. Have they no morals? Probably dug up! What no provenance ! Good collectable condition with signs of wear! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-Ancient-Artefacts-Tooth-Barb-Tanged-Flint-Arrow-Head-Scraper-A122/382411154514

It has i know lol. I thought that. It's more well travelled than me 😁. It's better to be repatriated than deported 😅.

"Im not a coin collector ... i dont know anything about coins ..." translates to FAKE FAKE FAKE!

sorry its a crap pic but its from webcam actually it looks better than the coin lols

Surely people aren't buying these believing they are genuine? Quarter Farthings on Ebay

I saw a video of some guy used I think 10k pennies and floored his kitchen with them lol

2p. As existing circulating currency, they are accepted at many outlets including banks, newsagents, supermarkets and any high street business. The can also be used in charity boxes. They are not suitable for on-line payments, because computers are not fitted with a coin payment mechanism.

this is the best one i managed to find on ebay, Half crown of Charles II, so there is a base for you. I would imagine there to be some documentation on the number of each denomination found, and having a quick look about the wreck find itself, that was 1967 and it contained Gold as well as silver, even pieces of 8. so basically anything from sixpences up from any date from milled I would Imagine, as well as trade currency.
