    I'll join in when I'm less stoned.

    Mine are all Unc, I'll hang onto them.

    I've got a few 1994 D Day anniversary 50p's somewhere - are they at all scarce?

    Blimey. Even in coin circles, 100k is hardly a "tiny number"! "Very rare" 1951 pennies, anyone? You'd think punters with an IQ higher than 50 might have done some research and found out that what they said about the 74 sets applies equally to the 75 sets.

    Yes, that's a puzzle. The mintage for 1971 is 50% higher than 74 and 75, but those 2 were both 100k, so why?

    I was actually going to sell my 74, 75, 76 sets as a start, before weeding out later "non essential" sets. I rate the first 4 sets (starting with 1970) as long as the 73 is untoned. Perhaps I'll start with the 74...

    Great price. It's the same grade as the one I paid £25 for in the 90s - also with the date double struck.

    A lorry load of loo seats was stolen the same day. The police have nothing to go on.

    Lewis won easy, Verstappen 2nd, Bottas 3rd. No real surprises there, except that Vettel I think made it into the Top 10.

    I don't think trade tokens come under that law? They aren’t regal currency. As for eBay, I would guess that as long as a coin is described prominently as a repro, they probably wouldn't take any action. Probably.
  12. Peckris 2
    That's true but the - e.g. - repros of 1933 pennies (rather than the altered dates) or 1905 halfcrowns wouldn't fool a genuine collector for a moment, but that wouldn't stop some idiot setting a trap for the unwary beginner.

    "fake or repro" is a genuine question. If a repro and sold as such (cheaply), then it's not a fake nor is it notorious. However, if intended to deceive and sold as genuine, then it's a fake and many fakes are indeed notorious.

    Pete (here) sent me an Unc 1959S 1/- he had spare. I never got it but when I checked the tracking it had been signed for - with a squiggle. I never found out WHERE it had been delivered to but Pete had addressed it correctly. To be fair, that's the only mishap I can remember.

    fake or repro?
  16. Peckris 2
    no such number, no such zone

    or his wife does...
  18. Peckris 2
    That's a complicated question - can you unpack it?
  19. Peckris 2
    how's about that then...
  20. Peckris 2
    If you define "serious" as necessarily including all patterns...
  21. Peckris 2
    No, it thinks @Mr T is at Saturday 11:40, not you!! Your computer, like mine, appears to be giving the right time.

    Coincidentally, my father WAS a geneAlogist...
  23. Peckris 2
    Ah yes. Confusing that the same coin goes by two different names.

    I don't think you could ID it if in low grade? The example would have to be near to EF in order to make out the Medusa head
  25. Peckris 2
    That's not a Medusa, that's a "no colon" pattern.
