When it comes to variations I tend to stick published items...I have over 10 1720 farthings which are different.

Freeman / Gouby /Peck created the monster of varieties.I looked at the recent CC auction of pennies how many 1860's? I bought a job lot of Coin mags from 1967 to 1981...they often had surveys and detailed varieties..much better than todays coin news. I stopped my subsciption due to mainly new issues and rubbish being focused on...I now stick to my Jazz mags and the daily sport

I sometimes worry that I'm getting old....I can remeber my Dad reaching 50...and I'm almost there.

I would love a Newark shilling...but a load of other coins before....if one comes along at the right price I might be tempted William 3rd farthings have been a challenge....I'm still not happy...the 1695 is a pain...I paid a lot of money in the USA for this although I still managed to sneek a 1698 exurge for $10 and date in legend for $135....described as EF and as Mr Cooke overgraded his Williams I kept it....I always go for eye appeal on early copper...it floats my boat. I'm still looking for a good 1679...mine although GF has a bit of green....always on the look out

I must have 1000's...I even gave 50 Victorian pennies to the primary school...how many budding collectors have I created

Hi try a google search but get your spelling correct...if you put the date,domination and country you probably get a result.

It's a recognised variety for those of us who like such things, very rare, a specimen (graded as Fine and said to be finest known) sold for £700 here James Workman sale My example cost 45p on Ebay, which is why it's worth looking hard at the crap for certain dates David Why is the finest known only F?...nice one on the 45p coin....I've bought a few coins of which I was quite smug with...and even a few off dealers lists...a 1849 farthing in GVf for £6 ...he wasn't a farthing buff....I will have to through my sack full of pennies to see if there anything rare.

Please explain why anyone would want this...or am I missing something?

Nice coin but not for me 1ds are a done job and I couldn't be A5sed with the hundreds of different die matchings....each to their own and look out for the slender 3 I must get more of those anti grumpy pills

I'm against insurance full stop...just don't keep your whole collection in one place...I think that there are dodgy deals if you apply for insurance if the local crime boys or the goverment get a sniff

A cigar and whiskey sounds like a good idea however the pantry is empty...there is last nights red wine in the kitchen

Price guides are just that we all know harder dates and grades..don't we

I was VAT registered until the end of November..I wound up the company and now seek a PAYE job...my blood pressure was too high...my kids hated my temper. My wife has just told me to chill until the new year....bless

I bought the normal and polished die examples...but they do nothing for me...at least the 37 crown was 50% silver and a nice design

There are a lot of overpaid low IQ footballers....Johnson on the face of it didn't appear to be one...

The 1960 crown was the top investment in the 70's

I've ordered mine off Amazon together with the coin year book...I ummed and arrd but for £13 in total..a bargain

I like the big wet fish.... but prefer to slap with a fluffy kitten...what did David Johnson do to upset you...we are nice here in Suffolk...you are always :ph34r:welcome....we don't loike strangers mind.

Keep your fingers crossed. I'd love to see the look on Arsene Wenger's face if Town beat them I did not see it However I won't be having a flutter..I can see a 10-0 drubbing.

My sega megadrive was the biz...My wife treated me to one and almost kept us kid free....I got so good at the golf I was doing early 50's and winning all the competions.

To be sure

Sorry it was large cough mixture which upset me

I can remember loading up a cassette on a BBC computer....it took ages...my daughters just take the mick out of me.I really haven't sussed the latest info....or thought I had.

How did they get there? unless they were collected by someone serious they are unlikly to be worth anything I've seen so many Old coins which are worth pence.

That is an incredibly colourful yet most accurate description. lol I remember using the printer/computer 25 years ago...it was carbon type paper (green and white)..supercalc was the biz
