Was this the Swedish copper? What dismayed me is the cu from 1694-1701 of which I have the lot but quite frankly ugly. At least the Anne patterns got better and then we reached the fantastic 1717-24...my favourites. Mr Croker take a bow.

If they can't manage this they ought to at least send printed catalogues out to clients.

There are also 1860 1/4d's cu YH currency and proof and 1864 proof ditto.

No farthing collector worth his salt omits an Anne in his collection.

Why don't ebay just ban her IP address and get the fraud squad on her?

3 of the 4 bidders have only bid with her.She can't be the full shilling.

Sensible debate is fine and tend to agree with Peck that 20C Crowns were not intended for circulation. Time to draw a line under this ?

Check Colin's site out ...aboutfarthings

418,000 odd minted and 26,000 proofs....more than enough for every coinie to have 1 ( I have 3 ) Why ????? ....I don't ever look at them.

The grading will cost as much as the coin is worth...ie don't

Blimey....that is ugly.....and I've just had a shave.

If I'm not happy looking at it others won't.There are ugly MS coins out there but some beautiful VF+...the latter for me. I have just completed my 1895-1970 penny collection @ EF minimum excluding 26 MH the KN & H boys.....those dam nabbit rare freemans mean it will never be 100%.....a grotty N/F open 1903 doesn't float my boat and won't be pursued. I confess to throwing a lot of coins....if they are shite just throw em.....I actually enjoy this....I even threw a 1950 penny recently who only the queen mother would of loved.

Count me out when its your round.They really haven't a commercial use or need.

A farthing is a piece of beauty...miniature pennies,the size of sovereigns,just my favourite. I was born too late.

Why so many 1p's ? Anything less than 10p goes in my change pot.

In the late 60's there was plenty of pre 47 silver about although I don't recall pre 20. There was also a lot of Vicky WH and Ed V11 pennies usually worn.Hardly any 1/2d's though. The highlight of beach holiday's were the amusement arcades where I would snaffle anything interesting (armed with my 4 check your change mini books) Post 71 I was more interested in using old 1/2d's in the 2p cash falls and crane grabs...I've always been a bit of a "loose cannon"

The answer is More fermented grape juice After my eggs n bacon have gone down and I unravel my bank holiday plan of sorting my hammered. Blakeyboy The Sun are crying out for such talent.

£25 Pete....surely I have out bid Paulus....plus he has far too many nice coins that could be healthy for anyone.

The highest bidder is 100% with her....she needs a slap.

I give her a credit for persistence. Grammar and spelling....needs working on. Vivid imagination and BS.... top notch. I will report it.

Auction houses,some dealers and quality of images leave a lot to be desired. In my saved sellers on ebay one dealer i have notated "crap images"

Nice H/C I think you have to look at the reverse for wear indicators.(Lions and beads below the crown) and from the image look nicely struck. Poor old Georges head always gets the bag marks. Maybe a dip in some acetone would enhance? MS grade but enjoy raw.

I gave up buying (even at $2 bucks to the £) a James 1 1/-. I really lost the will to live....send it normal post.Aunt Judy's Xmas card arrives every year.....and vice versa.

I just love the search.....bought a few bad uns.....bit like women although I don't pay....sort of keeps me balanced....whooops.
