    He still has, but it's locked away in his private collection along with his 1952 half crown and numerous 1860 copper farthings! He refused an offer for it of £8,500 in 1999.

    Neither am I even though I would like to.
  3. Half Penny Jon
    Talking of Farthings, has colin cooke still got his 1864 copper proof farthing?
  4. Half Penny Jon
    I agree with Oli, I could definately think of a better way to spend that much money! However, in the future, it will no doubt become more desirable.
  5. Half Penny Jon
    How much is it?
  6. Half Penny Jon
    How was your radio show Chris?
  7. Half Penny Jon
    I can see where you are coming from Oli, if only American's adopted our storage methods rather than sending them off to be slabbed and graded like somthing with a label!
  8. Half Penny Jon
    Excellent, I muct add that to my long list of uses for churchill crowns! Chris, Can you please tell me if this edge is recorded or not: My Webpage Many thanks, Penny Master (West Ham rule)

    You are probably right. I didn't win the item in the end because I said that I wouldn't bid over £100 and the bid finished at £104.52! Someone paid two much!
  10. Half Penny Jon
    I think that those coins are wonderful.
  11. Half Penny Jon
    Chris, I wasn't aware that you had to pay extra for this. In the future, I will try to minimise all applications of my posts eg. using links to websites instead of pictures. Many thanks, Jon Styles.
  12. Half Penny Jon
    Sound's like you had a really good time Oli! Congratulations for your success.
  13. Half Penny Jon
    They are wonderful!

    I like the rainbow toning on Silver proof soins such as the 1847 gothic florin which is absolutely beautiful.
  15. Half Penny Jon
    My point exactly, it is a shame that the American grading system cannot accept the sheer beauty of a nicely toned proof.
  16. Half Penny Jon
    I know, the grading system is so wrong. I can't believe they would favour a shiny coin instead of a nicely toned proof.
  17. Half Penny Jon
    I don't like american grading because they dont look for the same things as the British grading system.
  18. Half Penny Jon
    I don't intend to because I can't imagine an uglier coin.
  19. Half Penny Jon
    Yes, you can just about see the H below the date.
  20. Half Penny Jon
    I'm not into hammered but I definately would not pay any more than £80 for it because the cleaning is so obvious.
  21. Half Penny Jon
    LOL!
  22. Half Penny Jon
    I think that the H is below the date in the victorian series. The H is only there in the George V series.

    Craig and Jon are both good friends to me and I admire their hobby entirely. It is just Cecil the computer sha**er who gets on my nerves.
  24. Half Penny Jon
    I would say that as well because of the 3 lions. Jersey coins don't always have the portrait of the queen.

    My cat was called Felix before it ran away because we thought that it was a boy, but when it returned, we discovered that it was a girl! So we re-named her Phoebe. We are 100% sure that it was the same cat on both occasions.
