  1. Today's spotted mistakes: Under the picture of the 1954 Farthing it says; 'Elizabeth II1954 Farthing'...there should be a space between II and 1954 1871 Halpenny mintage is '1,075,280?'...is the '?' meant to be there? 1911 Halfpenny says 'Obv. 1a' and then 'Obverse 1b'...shouldn't it stay as either Obv. or Obverse for both coin types? The halfpenny reference is 'FREE'...shouldn't it be Fman? 1861 FMAN No. 33 Penny says '6 0ver 8'...it should be O, not zero 1843 Three halfpence says; '43over34'..there should be spaces between 3-o and r-3 ...Also, can you post a download for pages 25 - 30 yet?
  2. ive met none of you
  3. would there be any way of removing the oxygen from coin capsuals?
  4. well, the seller i making a profit...1 bid of $0.99 for 6p!...I would do it, but i would not like to con eBay
  5. damn...i live right next to buckinghamshire, and i couldn't pick it up
  6. i would have thought so, the coin's obverse could have been 'wiped out' on the hammer strike...
  7. There are too many spaces within the mintage of the 1945 farthing
  8. colin throws in special delivery if more then £30 is spent...so i think that you get one if you spend £30 or more...
  9. My ordered farthings have just come through, with a farthing list ...and yes oli, the ink on my cover smudjes too, so dont worry its not just you oli
  10. but what is there to do?...we cannot speak out otherwise we may be classed as racist/sexist/homophobic etc...what are we allowed to do that will not get us into these prediciments...Nothing! after not reading the daily mail nor my gran reads it, i find it quite interesting in the sence that the daily mail is trying to do something?...but still, what grounds do we have to speak out?...
  11. No!!! ...i hadn't heard of this until now, but it is absolute Bull$#!T!!! not to be racist, but i hate the way that this country is run...my gran was telling me of how my aunt was thrown out of a Little shef on the M4 because the asian man at the counter said "We dont serve white people"...if asians are allowed to do that, why cant we?...example: a white man could be arrested for disalowing an asian man into his shop, whereas an asian man would (knowing this country) probably get payed for doing that to a white man... Absolute rediculous...
  12. Looking through my Coin Yearbook 1979, i came accross 3 varieties of the chirchill crown...which of these is rarer; Milled edge, curled tail of R in Chirchill Milled edge, non-curled tail of R in Chirchill Plain edge
  13. Im safe too then...
  14. hmm, looking at that coin again, it may be possible if the seller could have put a five pence head-first onto a piece of wood, layed a penny on top of it and then struck it with a hammer; thus creating double designe, and the wierd blank on the obverse...could it?
  15. were theese in a folder?
  16. hmm, thats a new one...i have no idea on the value of it, but i would keep it for a few years if i were you...what condition is it in?
  17. I dont think that i would like to keep any of my new farthings out of capsuals, i may put them in capsuals and in a lindner tray...
  18. dont get drunk, otherwise you may end up spending one
  19. will capsuals prevent verdigris?
  20. looks interesting, i may bid...
  21. Ok then, i suppose i should start; Inscription; Obv: Victoria Dei Grattia, Rev: FID DEF IND IMP 1893 Alloy; Silver Description; The coin shows Victoria's older head, it is slightly bigger and thicker then a penny... (An easy one to start off )
  22. The recognise the coin game... Ok, i have just came up with this game for us in our spare time, not only can this keep us occupied but it can teach us too ...The Rules: Sombody posts a discription of a coin; Description, inscription, alloy ect... but do not make it too simple. Sombody else replies with what they think the coin is and what the monarch is... Easy really
  23. sorry to intrude, but did the sovereign price ever go down from 240 predecimal pennies to 100 decimal pennies, or did it follow all other coinage and go to 120 decimal pennies?
  24. Yes, a sovereign would probably never be accepted for buying something...it is leagal tender, but you would never (well, i doubt you would ever) find someone spending it...do you still see crowns being spent in shops...but they are still legal tender
  25. definately... William, i said december '63 - The Four Seasons, and the Four seasons were the first to perform it it was made some time around 1965 - 1979 (900th post )
