I don't mind Liberty seated dimes...

Same here, I think I prefer milled stuff

I have had some coins since 5 years ago, but started collecting about three years ago, and only decided to specialise about 8 months ago.

I thought you meant the queens jewellery lol!

How much did he sell it for?

That halfpenny sounds like it's fine or below. That penny is worth £5 in fine condition, it sounds pretty low grade again. Values: The 1918 is worth £3 in VF, the 1929 is worth £2 in VF, and the 1937 is worth £3 in UNC The 1920 won't be worth much, £2 in VF, and the 1928 is worth £2 in VF, £8 in EF, and £25 in UNC. You haven't given us grades for these though, so we can't value them properly. Hope this helps, William.

I have a few American coins but do not collect them, the ones I have were given to me

Ok, thanks for that

I would by all Victorian coins in UNC, even the proofs and extremely rares of course!

I couldn't tell it's a proof! How was I meant to know the date on it?

The Victorian one doesn't look too expensive... I have a Victrian darkened farthing, my best farthing too, it's 1901, and it's UNC!

Out of all the farthings in your sig, the silver one is my favurite too! Do you own those farthings?

Well, it will certainly be an impressive acheivement when you've finished! My favourite farthings are those Victorian/Edward VII/George V dark farthings, what about you?

Great idea, who has a scanner available that works? I only have a digital camerea, but it takes pretty good pics of coins!

Why do you call them 'stage one'?

Lets ask Chris if we can start a new forum devoted entirely to grading, I think it's a great idea, how about you?

How could we resist?

We could have a coin grading competition like on Coinpeople where people show pics of their coins and everybody votes on how they grade it. Here it is!

...and now he has nicked that emoticon in my sig, don't blame you though, it is a good one. The whole website of them is here if you're really that interested!

So do I, Britannia is meant to be facing left Edward!

I'll give you the HTML in my sig if that helps: <img src="http://emoticons4u.informationalot.com/cool/049.gif"></img><font color="Black"><font face="Westminster" size="6"><b><i>Will...</font></color</b></i><bR><img src="http://emoticons4u.informationalot.com/cartoon/1244.gif"></img><font color="Blue"><font face="Arial Unicode MS" size="3">Meet my band...</font></color><bR><img src="http://emoticons4u.informationalot.com/cool/cool19.gif"></img><img src="http://emoticons4u.informationalot.com/cool/269.gif"></img><img src="http://emoticons4u.informationalot.com/cool/271.gif"></img><img src="http://emoticons4u.informationalot.com/cool/270.gif"></img><img src="http://emoticons4u.informationalot.com/cool/487.gif"></img></p>

Why have you put this in the members only forum Master JMD? I would also grade that at VF

I can afford that one but it would use up all my money! The 1839 one doesn't look bad though. Might buy one of them! You are!

I love threehalfpences, I am very fond of my own as it is very rare, and find them fascinating generally because they were used in the colonies, and they are so small!

I don't know if they are unofficial, but I would say yes, cos most things like that would have the name of a bank on them, wouldn't they? Yes, it's worth looking on eBay for them. Theis the kind of stuff you're looking for?
