Completed listings shows it last closed at £155 so I suspect, whatever the seller ID, she's now so familiar people are happy to have a bit of fun at her expense. Who here remembers the slightly faulty decimal coin she asked a million for because she wanted to buy a chippy?

Yeah, these holes you know, they tend to wear their way right through the metal, naturally.

Must admit, I was relieved to see that the envelope contained the coin that I purchased.

Yep - that's a 9+K. I was watching this too, but the seller kept "ending" then re-listing it! Good show too on the 8+I - that's a very rare die pairing in my experience, rarer I feel than Freeman states.

Well its been a year now and it seems a total stalemate between the two sides , I really dread whats going to happen over the next few years as neither side is going to win, it just points to what happened in the second world war happening again , I am just hopeing for a bit of divine intervention and a halt to the fighting .

The Fitz example cat # CM.2735-2003

This last one I am unsure where it sits in the catalogue details are very poor on it stylistically is is closer to the TRUE #619 described by Rogers in section 31 there is some evidence that a loop may have been removed some file marks where it should sit. Actually the example in Rogers shows the reverse almost identical in its crudeness and hat I thought to be wear I will try bring in the example in the Fitzwilliam collection to compare it

just to finish off The Sovereign

I've been told these daft listings can sometimes be money laundering.

Well I am off to America to seek my fortune with a big bag of pennies by the end of the week I will be a millionaire. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155418827861

OK great this puts my mind at rest. As I have said I only collect in order to leave the collections for the charity and would rather deal with these questions now than to leave the potential problem for others when they sell it. Many thanks

One Farthing small lettering both sides the G of farthing above the ship The copper content appears to be much lower in the first example again SPIELMARK is spelt without an E Rogers #693 and 694 has the legend further up the head #692 has the G overstamped across the ship and # 694 may be the first hard to see in the black and white of the print one certainly appears to of a different metal #695 s Brass and the lettering on the reverse much larger

I had a feeling that the situation of a lot of female refugees with kids, being housed with British families, would end in tears for many. For one reason or another.............
