    Maths is short for the plural 'mathematics' - how do you reckon 'math' is right??

    We have a Hammered forum - for future enquiries, that's the place to post (FYI)

    omg blakey, I never knew you were American

    so it was way more than 950? probably a zero missing...

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

    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!
  8. Peckris 2
    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.

    Japanese workers employed in a sewage works were happy to meet each other briefly, like Nips in the shite.

    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?
  13. Peckris 2
    I just did too.
  14. Peckris 2
    Best of luck - hope you manage to find one.

    Particularly useful as he divides the pages into horizontal strips so you can align any obverse with any reverse to see both together.

    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.
  17. Peckris 2
    Regal disapproval?
  18. Peckris 2
    only one of those dated 1983 would be worth good money (that was the year nearly all 2p's were 'TWO PENCE')

    I suspect it was classed as 'an important collection' - I did note that most items had sound provenance. It's the only explanation that makes sense, though I'm pretty surprised that Noonans hadn't done enough research and so come up with more realistic estimates.

    this was way out of the ordinary. .. one item had estimate £200 - £260. As I liked it a lot I bid the high £260 (+1). .. it went for £4,200 ... and that was pretty much typical!
  21. Peckris 2
    Did anyone here have a look at, or bid on, or even win!, any of the gorgeous Ancient Greek coins in this sale? I placed a 'highest estimate' bid on a few of the more modestly priced items, hoping I might get one of them. But after the first few lots I knew I wouldn't - everything went for at the very least 5 times estimate, but more often 10 times, and in one or two cases even more ... one lot was estimated £2k - £3k, but went for £40,000!!
  22. Peckris 2
    Ah, right - thank you.
  23. Peckris 2
    1899 is *the* year for varying date widths - they occur from narrow to very wide
  24. Peckris 2
    How so? The I and T of FARTHING both point to a tooth where on Reverse A they point to a gap.
  25. Peckris 2
    It looks clearly like a B to me - if you look at the other three Rs on the obverse there is a clear gap between the left down stroke and the curve of the R
