I was watching. Exiting stuff...Be warned

Cuts go on eye appeal. If you get a good pair of eyes and a crown....and a hint of the mint/monyer happy days

Peck put the Scrumpy down Some of the Pre 12C coins are so nibbled so a nice cut half suffices me. They were used coins. I have picked up bargains...ID'd one and paid for a few better ones. It is a no brainer for an addict like me....HIC

If it can be ID'd much more.It is an important piece of history.A cut coin with good detail I go for. Bargains can be had.I've seen cut groats. I have halves and quarters in my collection they hone the eye in ID'ing.

CGS valued it at £6 and even that's strong! How many do they want? I will let them make 100% profit.

Very nice Dave.A decent strike with extras. Crack it out of the slab?

Most of us on here are on acid

Nice coin Dave (obverse)I hope the reverse isn't a rat

Why are people slabbing a coin worth £1? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1915-GEORGE-V-FARTHING-CGS-VF45-/190750929742?pt=UK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL&hash=item2c69a4334e

I'm not that old but Ashmore was operating and also a coins digest of 1969 was full of fake reports.

How true Rob. Welcome Tac Read up on a series that fascinates you.Look at Ebay,auctions,dealers lists and make a reasoned decision. Visit a coin fair. The internet is a great learning resource but I still like a good book. I've been into coins for 40 years and my mistakes are minimal but I still make them. My main passion is early copper(post 1672) there are chancers on Ebay who list key dates at stupid prices.Some times I slip a similar coin in on a 3 day listing undercutting the listings.I get bites. Keep your money in your wallet until you know your subject. My last tip is buy what you REALLY like the chances are others will like it too.

Nice R's The obverse is really nice.A weaker strike on obverse EF details I would snap up both for £100

Nice cuff links though.Better than 1967 6d's.

We are all Gents on here so if you put a link to the you can have first dibs

They both are far to cheap for the grades you suggest. Post some pictures.

Coincraft's book is worth a read.

Looks like a Roman 1 maybe a wearing die.

Right Where do I start. The coins are worn or polished,Nice pieces of history but nothing over 5p

I saw her having a crap between two cars just off Commercial Road this morning.

Buy this at least is half decent http://www.ebay.ca/itm/390467040950?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_500wt_1156

Enjoy the last 10 minutes of your birthday.

I left a load of bids on Ebay toddled of to the Midland fair (leaving at 7am )Got home at 4pm with an empty wallet Checked into Ebay and had won a load.Serious shuffling of funds required.

Welcome back Mongo. Peeps come and go.

Does anyone buy this junk? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GEORGE-VI-MILLED-NICKLE-BRASS-THREEPENCE-COIN-014809-/350439842334?pt=UK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL&hash=item5197d7a21e
