Coin prices continue to rise
Peckris 2 replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I think that whatever the collecting field - Pokemon, vinyl, coins, cars - the rarest items are highly sought after and go up and up in value. By comparison, the more common items are so much cheaper, if not actually declining in value. This is how it's going to be, year on year. -
Please explain why the 1806-07 pennies are considered the fourth issue
Peckris 2 replied to SilverAge3's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Indeed - the first pennies were 1797 cartwheels - nothing before or after until 1806. -

On a Mac press Cmd-Shift-4 then draw a rectangle around what you want to capture and release the mouse. Instead of going to your clipboard, the screenshot is saved to your desktop with the date and time appended. -

You could try the following: 1. reduce the size of the image 2. add a colour cast (e.g. sepia) to make it look different 3. acknowledge the website where you got it from (if 'Contact us' has failed)

Oh, they'll get off. "Money talks"... -
Crazily, this particular coin made $576 two years ago.

makes sense

No, but in the rapid bidding maelstrom, it's good to see the actual amount and not have to recalculate every split second.

There are also some in Eastbourne, but that's old gnus. -
With decent auction houses, e.g. Noonans, the online bid window shows not only the current bid but also what that equals in terms of hammer, so you don't have to do any mental arithmetic while bidding.

Interestingly if you look at my farthing you can see that the 6 has been rotated resulting in 2 tails. However you will also note that the 1 needs the same treatment, and the 2 is - as so often with the final digit - badly positioned. You can understand the correction of the 6 as it was needed for more than one year, but by that token you would think the 1 should have been corrected as it was the millennium digit!

interestingly there is also an 1862 farthing with similar 6 repunch

Yes, that's always also been an option in Apple Mail, though there the options are confined to 'Small" 'Medium' 'Large' and 'Full size'.

Yes, if you reduce the f ile size you shouldn't have any difficulty - there's plenty of software out there which will not only make the image smaller, but also reduce its quality to a still acceptable image.

The French title would possibly confirm that? Scotland and France had a strong alliance back then. -
