Master Jmd

Well arn't you the lucky one...i get 10 minutes break and 50 minutes lunch

What time does yours start HPJ...mine starts at 8:40am, but i ma normally in school by 8:10-20

Its French, Emperor Napoleon III, probably around 1864 yes...either a 5 or 10 cents... Thats all i can offer...i dont know much on foreign coins Edit: the M is of EMPRES FRANCAIS

Well, i would pay anything up to £50 for a BU example of beaded border... And, i would pay anything up to £80 for a BU example of a toothed with 5 berries (however, if i had the cash i would probably buy something less expencive ) And, i would pay anythin up to £50 for a bU example of a toothed with 4 berries

3:30 - 5:30pm it says on the homepage Edit: Oh, and congrats on your 1800th post Chris

For me to listen to it, i have to record it, because school finishes for me at 3:40 and its anywhere between 4:00 and 4:30 before i get home...but i will try my best not to miss it

Tut, tut, tut...i am supriesed that loonies like you are aloud on the roads ...unlucky

Spink values VF at £60

well, ive never heard it ... "When students mature in years 10 and 11 (my year) it is rather unfashonable to 'peanut' someone" Yes, but there are many immature students in my year 10 ...

Rubbish. All silver coins pre-1920 contain .925 silver. Silver coins from 1920-1946 contain merely .500 silver. yes well...i collect bronze and copper...not silver

It's when the older boys make your tie so tight that the knot is peanut sized! Well...thats a new turm for it... I got tons of Hwk if i can remember starting year 7...

The content of the coin is not nessessarily the coins worth...if a coin can be found on the everyday market then that coin would have a low price...if the coin was hardly ever seen on the market then the coin would be more expencieve... Also, the mintage of the coin plays a significant role in the coins value...take pennies for example; a 1967 penny (has a high mintage) in BU condition is worth about 50p, whereas a 1952 penny (very low mintage) in BU condition is worth about £36... It all depends on these conditions (there may be more, but it is early in the morning ), including its grade... All silver coins of britain (pre-1947) contain around 0.925 silver...

Im sure he's ok...maybe his parents told him to concentrate more on school and leave coinage for the holidays (as he has only just passed his 11+ and in a new school) ...But who knows?

Easy mistake

I believe that the laurel examples have 'LAUREL' somewhere around the date... But as chris said, they are normally smaler than the real thing...

It is a 'toy' piece, probably a laurel...(?)

For only 99p! So, he recalls his great grandfather collecting them between 1902-1910...

yea, that probably is the case...

hmm...holiday, at this time of the year?...especially for school...

"stunning EF", AD 194... That is one of the reasons that i do not trust eBay...even though i have bought from the seller (curlietailz) before with no probs.

it took me a while though, i tried the station that you said and that took me to my local raidio...but i eventually found it through the BBC's website

probably because school kids have gone back a few weeks ago after taking holidays etc... And yes, i think that i saw that tumble weed too

Interesting...but i think i would prefer the whole penny, not quater of it

Ok, i received a tin of coins today from my aunt, and one of which was was a copper/bronze(?) token type coin. Obverse: H.R.H THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE, circled around the bust of (presumably) princess Charlotte. Reverse: BRITANNIA MOURNS HER PRINCESS DEAD., in legend circled around an picture of a palmtree above an urn on a podium(?), DIED NOV.6 1817 AGED 21 in exergue. Measures exactly 1 inch, and is slightly offstruck with the edge being wider on one side. Any ideas? Geoff?

On UNC coins the toning never mixes with the little lustre that remains (on older than 1900 coins) i think
