    Usually that's what I'd do but this is a postal/Email auction so it's all or nothing! That's the problem

    Ok people I still haven't decided so I'm asking the forum! I have the money for just one of the following which would you choose: 1) A Pidcocks 1801 farthing token in choice EF or 2) A 1868 pattern halfpenny in CuNi almost BU Rather different collecting fields I agree but both areas appeal to me. I'm thinking I'll go for the token solely because I feel the halfpenny will go beyond my reach and I'll end up with neither. Any thoughts???

    I have the opposite problem....two coins I want and only the money for one. Auction is tomorrow and I still haven't decided!

    I use the Quadrum capsules for my coins which go down to 14mm, they're the same size as the card holders but a lot thicker

    It's taken a lot of searching for and the only example I've seen. I'm still looking for an example of the standard version as I'm 99% certain the copy I have is different but have nothing to compare it too. The tortoise seems higher of the ground

    I dont know if this is of interest or if you've already posted an example (i cant see all the pictures in the thread for some reason) but there's a cu-ni example for sale which i hadn't seen before. Remembered the thread and thought I'd add it https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/British-Empire-Exhibition-1924-Cu-Ni-unknown-to-me-usually-copper-27-8mm/263368362490?hash=item3d51fa49fa:g:nqAAAOSwWflaJyds

    My latest unofficial farthings, very pleased with the Uxbridge school one, It's been on the wanted list for a very long time! The P & H is an upgrade for obvious reasons. While I'm posting these is there anybody else out there that collects unofficial farthings? I know the site is mainly for coins but it would be nice to hear from your out there

    The real thing, you can clearly see the micro lettering on the obverse. There's none on the reverse of the trial piece. photos are a little ropey as I don't have my usual camera

    I have seen one but couldn't get a picture, it was a reasonable copy but in the hand it just felt wrong the guy selling it thought it was genuine. It would fool a few people with just pictures though

    Hello Toddmeister and welcome While the forum is mainly for pre decimal coins don't forget about tokens, there are a lot out there and are a very interesting area of collecting (well I think so!) While I would echo the cautions about eBay it's worth a trawl through just to see the vast scope of what is available out therein both coins and tokens

    That's pretty old, how long before you hear back from them?
  12. will1976
    Thanks for that, always good to learn.

    A nice half penny. Could you tell me what 'hack' gold is? Its not a term I've heard of before

    I've bought a couple of tokens off her in the past with no problems, as Rob says I think she's just assumed it's correct as she's not a coin dealer
  15. will1976
    Only a vintage year! Non of the cheap stuff lol
  16. will1976
    not a problem, think of it as an early xmas present lol

    Hello Sophie and welcome. Further up in the thread there was a mention of an aluminium coin case. I have a brand new one you can have for just the postage cost if you decided to go down that route. It was a gift to me which I have never used as I chose to store my coins in quadrum capsules. Just PM me and let me know

    It does look like there should be something at the top - perhaps a storage drawer as you suggest. It looks like a nice cabinet though - would it be worth taking it anyway and having something made to fill the gap? You could then customise it to suit. Even if there is a couple of drawers missing it's still a really nice example and as Mr B says you can always get a couple of drawers made to your requirements

    It's the angle of the photo zoo, have a look at the original further up the thread and you see what I mean
  20. will1976
    There appears to be a couple of higher grade ones but all look cleaned, the coronation medal is particularly nice. Without a close up photo it's difficult to tell about the 1877 florin.
  21. will1976
    Only just noticed this post zoo, they're all nice but really like the second from the left

    Always loved Florence

    My latest addition, as I don't have the coin yet these are the dealers pictures. This is my first Anne error
  24. will1976
    Yes your right Dec, the die numbers started in 1864 through to 1879. The coin in question does look like an 1874

    Just a random thought on the colour of the boxes, was the different colours from different outlets? a bit like the modern crowns which came in the plastic wallets with 'Midland bank' 'Barclays' 'Lloyds' etc
