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?...

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...

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

Im safe too then...

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?

were theese in a folder?

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?

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...

dont get drunk, otherwise you may end up spending one

will capsuals prevent verdigris?

looks interesting, i may bid...

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 )

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

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?

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

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 )

What you have is probably a Half Penny or a Farthing, but we will need dimentions and the coin alloy (Copper, Silver etc...) to tell you more...

Its been a while since i started the old 'Top 10 coins in your collection' topic, and i suspect that you have probably got a few better coins, or started to like or dislike some of your other coins...so this is the new 'Top 10 Coins in your Collection' topic... --------- Ok, heres mine: 1) 1935 Farthing BU - Not arrivd yet, but i love the picture on colins site. 2) 1938 Penny BU. 3) 1900 Penny Lusterous Unc. 4) 1875 H RF.G Farthing Lusterous EF - Unc. 5) 1953 2+B Farthing BU. 6) 1970 Proof Threepence - i have a mysterious lust for it 7) 1918 'Brightened' Farthing BU. 8) 1853/2 Farthing EF very little toning. 9) 1855 Penny VF - EF 10) 1944 Silver Threepence VF - EF

Ok, after listening through a few or my albums, i have decided my favourite 6 songs (in no particular order): You've lost that Lovin' Feelin' - The Righteous Brothers - (for some reason it reminds me of George V ) Roxanne - The Police We Will Rock You - Queen Bat out of Hell - Meat Loaf Without You - Nilsson December '63 - The Four Seasons

hmm, i still know that silver wasnt on 'cupro-nickel' coins from 1947...i am not stupid HPJ

sorry to say this, but shut up HPJ...bronze coins are called coppers, they are not copper...i am not going to waste time typing, or saying cupro-nickel every time i mention that i am crap at grading it! ...

read the quote above yours HPJ...i think that it is wierd too, but i am not really good at grading silver coins, but it does have full lustre with very little scratching...

i have the rarest in practicly mint condition, i thought that was what you had when you started this topic william...

no clue...anyone could go to tony clayton's site...

If were lucky then we may be the only ones in the world to own them
