Master Jmd

One year, one day after my birthday (6th August 1990) Welcome Mitch, hope you enjoy coin collecting and the forum

Well done

That 1754 NVF Very rare 4 over 0 variety farthing (here) is tempting...note: you have written it as 'Very Rare 5 over 0 variety', I assume you mean 4 not 5?...

I don't think that there are any varieties for 1916 pennies.

Farthings: Charles II = 1 - 1673 No Obv. Stops (F). Victoria = 4 - 1853 3/2 (EF), 1857 (BU), 1881H Type B (BU), 1882 H Broken F (BU) George V = 9 - (All BU) - 1918 Bright, 1920, 1922, 1924, 1931, 1932, 1933, 1935, 1936. George VI - 15 - (All BU) - 1937, 1941-1950, 1950 Proof, 1951, 1951 Proof, 1952. Elizabeth II = 6 - (All BU) - 1953 1+A, 1953 1+B, 1953 2+B, 1954-1956. Total = 35. Pennies: (No longer collecting) Victoria = 3 - 1979 Obv. 9 Rev.K (F), 1900 (Unc), 1901 (BU). George VI - 6 - 1937 A (BU), 1937 B (BU), 1937 Proof, 1938, 1940 Double Exergue (Unc), 1947(Unc) Elizabeth II = 3 - (All BU) - 1953, 1962, 1967. Total = 12. Sixpences: George II = 2 - 1757 (Fine), 1758 (Fine). Total = 2. Others: 1907 Shilling (EF). Crowns = 7 - (All BU) - 1953, 1960, 1965, 1977 x2, 2001 Vicky Commem, 2002 Corronation Commem. 1921 Florin (Fine) - The first florin I ever saw, worn but nice. 1887 Normal JEB Halfsovereign (aFDC). Total = 10. Tokens: 1817 Princess Charlotte Commemorative. Total = 1. Overall total = 60. (Note: There are a few more including a lot of decimals, but I thought that this list would be long enough)

Nothing has really changed that much from Spink 2004 to Spink 2005. The prices have only varied by about £5 each down or up, so I would also suggest that you save your money for now.

Thanks

Since the time when I started putting decimal coins into my collection, I have never seen a 1995 penny, a 1986 £ or a 1992 20p, whereas I have seen many coins of different dates. I have looked for mintage figures, but the Royal Mints website is down at the moment. Are these coins scarce/rare?

What you have is most probably a normal 1899 penny that has, at some stage after minting, been covered in some form of gold coating to resemble a gold penny.

Thanks

I haven't finished them yet. I have most of the farthings priced, and the halfpenny prices are starting to come together. Whilst we are on the subject of CEMCGB, does anyone know the prices of 1672 A/B and 1673 O/O? I have looked in spink for an idea, but the first is not listed and the second jsut says 'extremely rare'...

----- When do the prices have to be 'handed in'?

That is good news, there are quite a lot of varieties not listed in CCGB2005, so I think it will be more than tripple if we include most of them. Decimal varieties sound interesting, I bet there are quite a few... Good competition for Spink ay ...

I get this when i click on anything in the forum...i have to click 'back' and then try the link again: "Warning: mysql_connect(): Too many connections in /home/british-coins/htdocs/forum/sources/Drivers/mySQL.php on line 64 Warning: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/british-coins/htdocs/forum/sources/Drivers/mySQL.php on line 67 ERROR: Cannot find database britishcoins Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/british-coins/htdocs/forum/sources/Drivers/mySQL.php on line 100 There appears to be an error with the Forum Home database.

That is nice! Looks a bit sureal though...

Halfpenny...farthing maybe...(i take it that it is copper?)

Still no 1988 £'s for me ...oh well

Isn't that only if it is attached to a mount?

! ...one side is ruined...and it seems that they were too lasy to do the obverse!

Lol...i've just got my second with my pocketmoney ... I wonder when we sill start to see the 2005 pennies and such...

well, aren't you lucky

Hmm... ...typical of the mint to issue coins that were around over 400 years ago...! It is funny though, the rubbish that they come up with! ...its worrying!

Sounds like a token to me...that is why you did not find it in Krause (or does Krause list tokes?)...

I've added the other one to my ebay ...I suppose that it is allways handy to have a guide like that

Missed it ...
