    I've always thrown them in the copper scrap. Demonetized, so legal to weigh in.

    I have constant problems with gas bubbles. 🤔

    You should be able to get acetone from any builders merchants. Jewson, Selco etc....

    I soaked one of the rarest, 1953, farthing, die pairings in olive oil, overnight. Virgin, if I remember. Was surprised how much it discoloured it. Don't think I'd ever risk it again.

    Your reply has reached the audience here Rob. Afraid I'm not guilty of the above crime. Would be interested in seeing photos, if you still have access to some. Post here? There's a half penny that you're looking for, on eBay at the moment. Listed as such. Pricey but may be, that the grade is acceptable.
  6. Zo Arms
    That's the one.

    That's a different language to me Chris. Besides, I do all this on an android phone. I understand the 3 linked circles. On pressing that, it brings up a couple of apps. If I press the more apps option, it brings up my contacts. How I get it to bring up the reply section, on the half penny thread, on the pre-decimal site, I've no idea. Luckily, I don't need to do it that often.

    Short answer. No. Never understood how to do them. 1860 halfpenny. Ended yesterday afternoon / evening on eBay. Sold for £181 by Bucks coins. 1* + A.
  9. Zo Arms
    Did a forum member win the 1860 today?

    Fine for me too. Both via a bookmark and direct from Google. Using Android phone.

    I'd agree with your pairings. Don't think I have 14 + O. Must admit, I've not looked at halfpennies properly, for a good few months now. Life's ups and downs got in the way. Huge relief to be single again tho. 😁😁.

    I'm sure it just needs the batteries changing. I have a clock that plays up if the batteries are low. Not enough umff to push the second hand around. Or was it the spring.,......? 🤔

    There's a countermarked coins group on face book, if no joy here. If that helps I'm not intelligent enough to do links and all that nonsense. Photos.......,?

    A couple I've had for a long time. May be of interest? Farthing for scale.

    Must admit, I've not looked for an E/L combo, so had a look thru mine. Not found one but there is a bit of fudgery going on here.

    To my eyes, photo 4 says an F......... Used the camera from 2 different phones.......

    Thanks for bringing it over. Great to have them all in the same place. I think that the die crack over the F of F D confirms the same obverse die as Martin's.
  21. Zo Arms
    Thank you for continuing the story............ Other than this thread, what brings you back? Great to see you again. Pull up a chair and share what else you have detected. Always interested to learn.......
  22. Zo Arms
    See. I do listen. 😂
  23. Zo Arms
    Known as Die Fill. It's where the hollow in the die, in this case the T, starts to fill with grease, so preventing the metal flowing into that area, when struck. A common occurrence.

    That's what my ex wife used to say. Told me, if I behaved myself, we could have another female instead, one day........

    I'll agree with Paddy. Let's have a gander at a few of your medals. And some Tower shillings please. Every day is a school day and I'm willing to learn. And if it awakens some latent desire amongst the masses, all the better.
