It is a important piece and deserves to reside in a well attributed UK collection...far too nice to pick up dust in a museum or end up over the pond.

I'm guessing here...Spink have an auction 28/06/12

I have a 1949 edition Full title is Seaby's catalogues-Copper coins and tokens-British Isles A wonderful reference; It covers Roman coins struck in Britain during the occupation,Anglo-Saxon sceats,English copper coins 1860-1936,Billion and copper coins of Scotland,Irish coppers etc,Coins and tokens of the Isle of Man,Coins of Lundy Island,Copper coins and tokens of the Channel islands,17C tokens,An introduction to 18C tradesmen's tokens (by Peck ),18C tokens,19C silver tokens & 19C copper tokens. I note that this publication records the large date 1737 1/4d which that "slacker" Peck missed 11 years later The preface lists Trade tokens in the 17C by W Boyne 1889-91 Provincial token coinage of 18C D&H 1910-18 The silver token coinage by Dalton 1922 The 19C token coinage by WJ Davis 1904 Seaby goes on to say the book is not a complete list as he was aware of 15,000 copper 17C tokens Happy hunting Dave....is there a book in you?

Trouble is the so called experts are not. Even third party grading companies sometimes get items seriously wrong.On this forum we have experts who do specialise. One particular BNTA member sold me a known about rare variety for common issue prices (I didn't complain).My next dealing with him he messed up and wasted my time as what he thought he had...he hadn't. . There are well known dealers (innocently) selling Chinese fakes on Ebay and Auction houses often mess up(mostly noted by members of this forum).Hang around and post more Thames mud goodies. The fact that Rob wanted to buy your coin should reassure you

2nd goal was an attempted cross me thinks which went all wrong and ended up as goal of the season. Howay the Toon next weekend I like the Toon because of the Robson connection.Also back in the 80's we spent a good pre match drink,lunch,pool,darts session with a bunch of Geordie lads. Can't see that ever happening with Cockneys,Scousers or Mancs .

The seller has another one for sale http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1878-DRITANNIAR-ERROR-SIX-PENCE-/230780380124?pt=UK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL&hash=item35bb9523dc#ht_1119wt_1270

I'm Suffolk and good I did have the misfortune of working in Limehouse and then Canning Town between 1992-2000. I have a London accent with a Suffolk burr after a few pints...when sober dead posh mind In the last 12 years I've probably been down the smoke a dozen times on business and avoided it for the last 3 years. An ex colleague who can pee from his bedroom window and hit the Olympic stadium should be getting me a few tickets for the games.

Hi Danelaw Some nice coins (and other things) come out of the Thames mud....worth getting mucky for. I don't know if the Warminster mint coins are rare without reading the BNJ article.Good luck at the auction,however it may be an idea to sell to this forum to avoid commission you pay and also the commission on the hammer the buyer pays which has to be factored in.

I have a Middelham S2793 Tower mint under King MM triangle. Mine appears to be weakly struck but much nicer than yours.I paid £35 from Saltford over 12 years ago.Probably about £100 now....OR £295 from Coincraft.

The one time we need a dinner plate size picture and you turn up with a dolls tea set size

No one is going to produce snide 10p's

Hi I hope you are not paying more than 10p each for the coins.Even the 1953 crown can be picked up for about £2. You are obviously very keen on coins.Don't use the gimmick dealers out there.

The Euro is under more threat than the £. What we need is a bit of a "dust up" Why are we conveniently sending our best fighting ship to the Falklands?

At least Levin has only got to beat San Marino at home to be be considered successful. Hodgie is a Grammar school boy who can speak several languages.He played for Palace youth and then non league football. I think Rednapp is an entertaining bloke but he can't write and I reckon he could of been a bit of a liability.

Hi Welcome to the forum. A very nice coin (as long as it is not an Ashmore copy)What is its provenance? Spink 2010 valued S1154 at £250 in vf.The cross is too large for S1150...which is a pity. Spink recommends an article written in BNJ 68 on the many varieties/mints for this coin. In this case Spink isn't detailed enough.I would also add that at auction or Ebay I can't see your coin making less than £400. It looks like North "CRUX" type Fig.5 no sceptre but with diadem. For a more accurate valuation hopefully Clive of Historic Coinage will pop by.

I can remember at junior school we did a project on TDC.Talk about give me six. Unhealthy and inbred and rains 75% of the time (sounds like Norfolk )

Coins and stamps form quite a large part of TDC's economy. All the worlds modern stuff is a complete rip off to catch "joe" public.

Be a sad end to the copper & bronze series, but inevitable in my view - Finland has already ditched 1 & 2 euro cents and the Canadians are scrapping the 1c The US cent must be one of the lowest value coins still in circulation, any lower that folk know of? David Dave's Scottish Pounds

What is your take on this? Do we need the Penny? My own opinion would be just to stop minting them and leave the ones in circulation as legal tender.They will just phase out naturally. The penny died in my opinion after decimalisation. I put all my change 1p's,2p's & 5p's in a tin.Since Xmas I have amassed £2 worth of 1p's. If we keep the penny I would love to see the return of Britannia for the reverse.

Chris Put it in perspective. Your tenant has gone to the police.They will know the facts. It really isn't worth getting stressed.5hit happens. Pay your 7.5% management fee and let them earn it. Every month you remain rent free accounts for several busted doors.

Hi Welcome to the forum. Some nice coins there.I do like the 50p's.BTW the Bannister 4 minute mile you have spelt minuet I know he broke a record but that was his only association with music Hang around and see some nice coins.A couple of the forum members pick up and save modern issues.I have a few myself but I keep it quiet

Much better than the modern gimmick coins you've got. You need to improve your photography.Try taking the picture a bit further away an zoom in on the computer. As Colin has said it looks a nice coin and dated between 1272-1307

I think we can happily include any modern forgeries regardless of origin.

That looks very much like an altered 1964. Scuffing on both sides of the last 1. Whoever paid that price must be cursing. 61 bids,4 bidders only and it would seem inexperienced muppets.
