Master Jmd

Maybe, but not all overstrikes are clear. It looks like a 3 or a 5, but I think that I would also agree with you that it is just a filled die.

Another error (CCGB2005) (don't know if this has been spotted yet): Page 55 - 1961 Esc.798R says "Struck on pilished blank". Should be "polished"

Yes, his 'Farthing Encyclopaedia' I believe. According to one of the topics on his discussion board, he is putting a picture to every known type of farthing, and has so far taken up 150 pages on the types of Charles II!

I have posted this on Colin Cooke's discussion forum, (Here), and was wondering if anyone could enlighten me on this type; the 7 of the date seems to be struck over another number(?), and I have not found any examples of this type. Thanks, Jmd.

Any news yet? A new Peck book sounds interesting. I'm game .

1635 Charles 1st Farthing Pattern Somebody needs more time to look at their coins that they put up for sale!

Look Here And Here

It is probably just dirt that looks like a copper coin. Is it the same size as a shilling of that time?

Aren't we! I think the cow suits him

A happy ending

Fantasising on a coin forum

lol

That is probably why you sometimes see people on Ebay selling 10 sovereigns from a single year...lucky them!

Before we miss out a type for the listings of 1881H farthing types in CCGB2006, Colin Cooke has discovered a new type which is writen about in his farthing catalouge list 52. Type H - "The H is further to the left so that the right edge of the 8 is in a direct line with the left upright of the H. The H is equi-distant from the 8 and the linear circle". - Quoted from list 52.

I live a bit far from Manchester (300 miles think(!)), and I doubt that I would be allowed to go to Manchester anyway.

Isn't that breaching the copyright laws?

Not nessessarily, Oli bought his 1826 Sixpence(?) for a lot less than spink valued it as.

I suppose you are right, I shall give it a miss.

Just had a look at that certifiedgbcoins for the first time, and some of the farthings are quite exeptional...but the prices could be a little lower (1890 Farthing MS65RD £150!)... There are three coins that are really tempting; This (to go with my new 1754/0 farthing) www.certifiedgbcoins.com/Farthing%20Coin%20Pages/Farthing%201754.htm and www.certifiedgbcoins.com/Farthing%20Coin%20Pages/Farthing%201895%20Bun%20Head.htm ..a bit pricey, but do you think that they would be worth 'breaking out of their slab' for my collection?

Slabbed coins are inside a hard plastic case which is very hard to break open. Coins in slabs have their type and grade printed on the slab (example)... I personally do not like them.

The three best sites (in my opinion) for buying coins are Predecimal, Colin Cooke Coins, and Online-coins. Predecimal is best though of course...

? ... Edit: Oh, that...that was what my dad bought a while ago (not sure why!)...

Talking of ebay, I am slowly but surely selling my few high grade pennies (that i had previously collected)...3 of them are: 1937 BU Full Lustre Penny, Type A 1901 Penny BU Full Lustre Penny and 1940 Single Exergue Line Penny Very Rare Unc (Sorry to invade your thread chris).

We did not realise that it was smoking, or at least I didn't if I remember rightly

Also, error: Page 13, 1951 farthing BU price is higher than 1951 proof BU price.
