  1. At last found a decent 1948 Brass Threepence for the collection at a fair price as well. Another gap filled.

  3. They are only buying one coin a year Zoo ,everything else they find in change and so £20 not much to spend. They would probably think it was us with more money than sense and dumb

  5. I have no sympathy - the 'coin' has COPY written on it quite clearly. If people want one to fill a gap in their collection and can't afford the highly inflated price for a real one, then I guess wasting £22 for a copy is OK. Seems a bit pointless though for something that isn't genuine. Even with just £22 they could buy some very nice Elizabeth II predecimal real coins.

  10. Although collectors are still interested in really ancient coins, so no reason to suppose that pennies won't hold an interest for forthcoming generations. One thing to be very cheerful about is the fact that the internet has brought together the coin collecting community in a way that was never possible before. Pre internet we would often have been quite isolated, save for clubs in Cities.

  11. I was pleased to spot this as a 'buy it now' on Ebay, so I bought it then! Purchased on the first, it arrived today! I had been tracking it through Ebays 'Global Shipping' system, finally I can sleep at night. F24, with the missing top leaf. Cost me £150 all in, £40 of it postage via 'Global Shipping', what a p-i-t-a. But I wasn't going to argue, under the circumstances. One for your 'Rarest Pennies' page, Richard. Jerry

  13. It took me along time to settle on collecting one theme until I stumbled across one of these in a second hand shop for a fiver, I now have around a hundred and fifty. It fascinates me all the different trades that are depicted on them from schools, engineers, post offices and port supplies. Some are common, some are really quite rare and it's always nice to get a local one
