The Rave won't finish till 7pm

I wonder if a 45 has ever been flushed down the loo

Nice 1 Syl M8.

But much easier to hide.

There is diddley squat on TV regarding coins. I'm sure a metal detecting programme would work with the coins being identified. Just about everyone has a few "Old Coins" stashed away somewhere. I'm sure the advertising could be aimed at a nice "niche" market aswell.

Hi Gary Be wary that a Coin cabinet is nice and convenient for thieves to pick up. I use Coin albums with 2 x 2 flips (20 to a page) Linder Trays Coin boxes with 2 x 2 flips for foreign & aluminium cases which take 6 trays. I've also got a few other flock trays which I stack up. Everything is portable and can be distributed around the house.

All highly illegal Chris

Modern day Haggis is Condoms stuffed with deep fried Mars bars and Pizza. The original Haggis is just a variation on the theme.....but not quite as healthy.

Mother in Law is a sweaty and we have proper Haggis at least once a year from a butcher's in Edinborough. I've also been to a Burns night supper....a great night out...just love the pipes.

To me being PC is pathetic. We just got a stray cat from a cats home....it was called coloured on the papers....yep... JET BLACK. Nigger refers to Nigeria Pakki refers to Pakistan WOG refers to Western Oriental Gentleman. People ought to liven up and get on with likewise sensible people and the rest can **** off. I have friends and colleagues of all race's and beliefs....no gingers though

Whilst I agree with Wybrit why don't you try this on a grimy one. A warm soapy water solution,a soft toothbrush and a softened toothpick(soak it first). Make sure you pat it dry. If the coins have turned green....you've had it.

Right here we go.... Top left is a Beale £1 from 1950 It is an RB 42 (Duggleby B2689) LNNL(this stands for Letter,number,number,letter) fine £3...Unc £12 Top Right is a Peppiate £1 from 1940 It is an RB 42 (Duggleby B268) LNNL fine £2...Unc £18 Bottom left is a Hollom 10/- from 1963 It is an RB 24 (Duggleby B295) NNL fine £1...Unc £8 Bottom right is a Page £1 from 1971 It is an RB 83 (Duggleby B322) LLNN fine £2...Unc £4 Left is a Peppiate 10/- from 1940 It is an RB 10 (Duggleby B251) LNNL fine £15...Unc £60 Right is a Beale 10/- from 1950 It is an RB 16 (Duggleby B265) NNL fine £10...Unc £50 Centre is a Peppiate £5 from 1945 It is an RB 104(Duggleby B255) LNN fine £35...Unc £100 The values are approx retail prices (dealers would pay you less) The condition of the notes is important and from your photo they appear average ie Fine to Very fine. There are many forgeries of white fivers(including by Adolf H) but your's is the least valuable type so probably is genuine. A good little book can actually be bought off this site (Collectors bank notes....for about a £5) I hope this helps......Coin Collectors arn't just 1 trick show ponies

Gadget....I must say you are a stayer...if you hang around we might be able in house train you.

Hi James It looks like a worn die. There are 2 established varieties for the 1835 1/4d Reverse A Centre lines on St Andrew's cross are incuse Reverse B Lines are raised. This is the same for 1834 1/4d's 1835A & 1834B are the rarer types

What is wrong with them? They look luuuuverly.

I take it you bought those expensive History Books. I thought LSD was invented via "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" I tried the stuff many moons ago....Wicked....but foolish. I'm pleased to say many cultures and creeds had an input in our coinage. We will be Euro's soon...?????I reckon.

Obtaining a nice well struck coin....that you don't ask yourself if you paid too much...it rarely happens. I do enjoy a jaunt around a Coin Fair (Midland I like) When I have birthday/Xmas funds in my wallet.

I'll stick with my NEF's Don't you think all three coins,although rare, wouldn't be upstaged by something a little earlier and chunky....maybe its me.?

It was only issued as part of a Maundy set....Value will be 50p to say £10 depending on good luck.

Sorry Geoff...i Aso spilt Skool unrite. Ocean Finance is a typical "Loans for Numpties" ensuring that everyone can have everything now regardless...its frightening & will go pop.

Leave the Hetro's until at least you've PM'd me

Its a double....however the single is the rarer one.

I get so angry with Chav speak....and Ocean Finance Culture......I think this describes the plebs nicely. Bring back Grammer and secondary schools with (RESPECT thrown in) The bleedin 1842 4d is CAK unless its shiney...not polished gov. Maybe worth "alf an Aryon."

Hi Gary If you like farthings I suggest you nip over to ColinCooke.com It will be a good start. If you've being buying off Ebay you may well kick yourself...Post 1920 are vastly overpriced.

On the reverse (tails) look at the date. The line separating the date from Britannia is what you should look at. The double and single exergue lines need inspecting under a good light(much easier with a loupe) Once you've seen both there is no mistaking and are quite clear.
