    I take my hat off to you Wybrit! That is an outstanding collection of rarities. I am amazed at the 1869 penny, it's wonderful! That 1905 florin is not to be sniffed at either! Wonderful, just w onderful!

    Chris will want to have a go at you now about his bandwidth!

    I have been brought up in a similar way too. My father encouraged me to go to hunts but I just couldn't see the point. I have only been a few times.

    All I want to say in this thread is that I cannot understand for the life of me why some idiot would ponse around killing a vital and harmless part of our world. What really sickens me is they they do it in the name if fashon! Finally, I just want to say that Oli needs to have a re-think on his animal policy.
  5. Half Penny Jon
    I am very surprised that you think the "harvesting" of animals as you put it is at all acceptable Oli. It surprises me that you support such a cruel and pointless market.

    I would grade it BU Gem, I think that's a grade.
  7. Half Penny Jon
    Yes, but JMD was asking if his coin qualified for FDC.
  8. Half Penny Jon
    That is a wonderful coin, seldom seen in UNC. I have only ever seen one for sale on Ebay in BU which was about a year ago. The seller sells loads of great stuff, he even sold a Cromwell pattern farthing!
  9. Half Penny Jon
    If you read the description JMD, it says that it is "similar to currency penny of 1860" which does not mean that it was made in 1860, it could have been made at any time.

    I should imagine that there are many hairline scuffs and scratches JMD.............
  11. Half Penny Jon
    I agree with JMD, there are alternatives to fur in the manufacture of textiles. PS: It's CERTAIN not CIRTAIN Master JMD.

    She came second in the "Greatest ever Britan" contest. She did excellently as a queen, she is my second faviorite after Queen Victoria.

    It looks interesting but it is much much smaller than a penny. What is that word in the exergue?. I am not sure what it can be. Wait until Chris comes on here, I am sure he will have some suggestions.
  14. Half Penny Jon
    I can see what you mean, this is Chris' domain!
  15. Half Penny Jon
    Do you have any half pennies between 1900 and 1936 in BU condition?
  16. Half Penny Jon
    Lol, do they use the same grading system with hammered coins?
  17. Half Penny Jon
    I suppose Oli will want to have an input...................
  18. Half Penny Jon
    If one saves a coin which is "mint fresh" and has no stratches, flaws, blemishes etc. then it can quite possible be FDC.
  19. Half Penny Jon
    FDC is a term used for proofs and very rarely for currency coins. If your coin is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT with no small scratches due to storage or no wear which I very much doubt, then it would be deemed FDC otherwise it would be BU.

    I never drink Earl Grey with Cream! Too unhealthy, I prefer milk.

    It is very difficult to give a value because there isn't a value in Spink. I would pay at least £500 up to about £2000 for it. I guess he will ask for about £1000.
  22. Half Penny Jon
    Congratulations on having such a dream coin!
  23. Half Penny Jon
    In Spink it is "extremely rare", if you do purchase it then you will be a very lucky numismatist indeed, I expect not many collectors have one. Is it abt.FDC-FDC or "PR60-70"
  24. Half Penny Jon
    I guess we just have to accept that Britain and America have different grading systems and different ways of showing that grading. I just don't like the idea of a coin with a label. You can't walk into a supermarket or "store" and buy a coin in the U.K, it just would not be possible, whereas in the U.S with your "slabbing" it is very possible.
