  1. I did the same - but when I went to cancel they asked me choose “why” … then extended my free trial for another 30 days! And again - I think I got 3 months free altogether.

    Introduction, 2025

    Welcome to the forums H
  3. I've been wary of 1907 since I saw a reader’s survey in Coin Monthly in 1969 where a large number of ‘varieties' were listed, all featuring the digit 7 and nothing else! They never made it into even the Check Your Change booklets.
  4. A real 1865/3 doesn't look anything like that, sorry.
  5. I would doubt it, for the simple reason that an F would still have its bottom serif. My thought is that it's either die damage or a slight misstrike.
  6. It may appear to be F (or E) over B but please note it's actually B over F/E as it's 'BRITT'. This may be something to do with the way they did the repair.

    1797 Copper Twopence at auction

    It's coming up "Lot not found "?

    Maths is short for the plural 'mathematics' - how do you reckon 'math' is right??
  9. We have a Hammered forum - for future enquiries, that's the place to post (FYI)

    someone please tell me how 950 cheddar cheeses can possibly be worth £300,000?

    More Pennies

    Indeed I have! Along with all my decent finds from the late 60s, which include the first ever 1926 penny I found - which, after several months and a very close look, turned out to be an ME - plus an UNC 1938 halfpenny with good lustre, an EF 1935 halfpenny with lustre, and a 1909 halfpenny in better than VF.

    Nice find - beats any bun penny I found in 5/- penny bags (the best would have been 1890 1891 1892 in VG). I do remember switching to 3d and in the first bag I checked was a 1949!

    Chew Valley Hoard of 2500 "Norman" coins

    Agreed - but perhaps they want to keep the hoard together, at least for the time being?

    Wow, I never knew Bernie was selling his penny collection. I remember his 'Wanted' ads in Coin News in the 90s. I also didn't know he was the owner of the 1954.
  17. Japanese workers employed in a sewage works were happy to meet each other briefly, like Nips in the shite.

    Chew Valley Hoard of 2500 "Norman" coins

    Amazing that they are nearly all either Harold or William, of 1066 fame. I wouldn't be unduly worried by reduced rarities - for one thing, those two kings from 1066 make them VERY popular, and second, they will be on museum display indefinitely.

    OMG, has Coin Monthly been resurrected?

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I just did too.
  21. Best of luck - hope you manage to find one.
  22. Particularly useful as he divides the pages into horizontal strips so you can align any obverse with any reverse to see both together.
  23. Basically, you've got one narrow date, and the rest are wide dates. I'll leave it to others to see if there are micro varieties among the latter.
  24. only one of those dated 1983 would be worth good money (that was the year nearly all 2p's were 'TWO PENCE')
