March is traditionally Yearly Bonus month... perhaps people are pre-emptively spending.
I know my hope-to-get bonus is long since gone and it hasn't arrived yet lol!
I love the toning on the 1898, and I'm not posh about digs too much so if it ever needs a new home...
The 1877 seems like a "normal" example - I imagine it could look nicer with less harsh lighting (or in the hand).
The George.. what do I know about George?
Thanks guys, I'll pay more attention to post Vicky soon I promise
(And I might have to revisit my pile of GV's soon just to check if ensure my run of being unlucky persists!)
Thanks Zoo.
Unfortunatey I fell somewhat better about my 20 quid HC now. From your pic it looks better than the obverse at least
@Ukstu thats not a bad shortcross, it's done a few miles to get there and back
I was kinda hinting for an image .. I like to compare the crap I buy with what other people buy.
Sometimes it makes me feel a little better about what actually turns up
Other times it reminds me to aim a little higher when it should be an easily obtainable coin....
And we'll probably see a rush of more people coming here with the usual questions.
I motion for a sticky post~:
Do you have a "New 2 pence"
Does it have a date of 1983 :
if Yes, cha-ching, you can make some cash!!
If No, you are still poor.
