    Couldn't escape - it was my daughters invitation day to the Uni there.

    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 think they must dispose of the decent stuff somewhere else, pretty much all the coins they have at the mo are mingers or slingers.

    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.

    Thanks Bernie, and also to your friend.
  9. Unwilling Numismatist
    Rob has the answer now.

    Where were the blue ones from ? #SomeOneHadToAsk
  11. Unwilling Numismatist
    Plain as day. Below is a normal 6, which doesn't have straight fatures.
  12. Unwilling Numismatist
    I totally see a 5 over a mangled 6.
  13. Unwilling Numismatist
    That's just the sound of Pete re-Lustre-ing some old pennies
  14. Unwilling Numismatist
    Oh, those smart white ones that do up at the back ? I find they fit so well!

    It's not the medication, it's the new glasses.
  16. Unwilling Numismatist
    o.O
  17. Unwilling Numismatist
    Nothing to see here move along ....
  18. Unwilling Numismatist
    Boat? where??? oh.
  19. Unwilling Numismatist
    Stunning find! I still haven't found a milled Lizzie either - or any gold at all for that matter. One day I hope to get lucky on both...

    What does she look like with a real photograph, I bet the uneven toning is strangely pleasant!
  21. Unwilling Numismatist
    With 23 sold, sadly it would appear so
  22. Unwilling Numismatist
    I find it a very easy system to work with
  23. Unwilling Numismatist
    or is this the right one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1887-Queen-Victoria-Jubilee-Medal-44mm/132525469230?hash=item1edb222e2e:g:aPEAAOSwd-pamxds

    Agreed. Changechecker .. misleading much - seems like only 12500 ever minted, but actually ... read it and don't get bent over . https://www.changechecker.org/2018/02/14/the-uks-brand-new-5-coin-is-the-rarest-of-them-all/ Horrid coin anyway so I have my bargepole handy.

    Interesting possibly non-factoid in the Sun ... re: New 10p's - Some 2.6million coins have been minted – 100,000 for each letter. If thats it for mintage, they're going to be collectable, but maybe thats a production figure to date... in which case expect more.
