The postage will out weigh the coins value for ebay. A dealer wouldn't touch them. Maybe a card in your local news agents window. I would expect much over £10.

Good to hear from you Geordie It is one of those ...nice for issue. Ed 1 1d's early issues were awful and in my lessor informed days several went back. I then appreciated a decent one would cost a fortune(for an early Ed 1) You either like it our you don't that is why with hammered I'm a type collector. I had to have my Bury mints though. Moving forward 17C/18C copper is generally crap so it is eye appeal for me every time.

Dave Thanks for the heads up from our pal from Cornwall. I tried to bid on one of his auctions a while back and I was banned.... Me surely not. I have a place in my cabinet for the variety but he can do one Its not a be all and end all. My list of copper farthings 1672 -1956 inc varieties is dwindling.(Thanks Colin ) I've picked up some goodens recently which are duplicates and will pay their way. Plenty of small date 58's 1771 type b's and 1859. (never listed by CC) i'm waiting for Colin Goodes publication to get my early retirement. Although 55 next year I can take my poncy retirement fund at 25% tax free....guess where my cash is going. ?

Wonderful coin Paulus

Good advice! Phew indeed! joseph kennedy Flat 1 281 London Road South Lowestoft Probably one of Peter's relatives I imagine. Lowestoft is 50 miles away Paulus I live in WEST Suffolk the neighbours are acres away.

Am I the only nice poster? As far I can see we have great forum members with a shed load of knowledge.ENJOY the party.

Stewie Cherry Lane garden centres knock out decent ones for £1. BTW I love my tummy to be rubbed.

I'm about to go fishing....but a quick log on One more cuppa before I go My river is only 300m away and Mrs Peter can yell GRASS(the back garden) and I will be back.

Scott Your time has come.

I love the Midland.Great stuff. You really can't beat it. Before it was at the Meridian Hotel and now Motor bike museum. I've never had a bad day.

A great set Paul. Go for it if the price is right.

Long may it be. The ham fisted cowboys can keep their short history.

I must say my interest in decimal coins is increasing . To an extent of Liz 11 1d's

It frightens me that Rswipes will pay a premium for this crap.

Dreadful really I showed the owner at the Midland who accused my Colin Cooke collection farthing of having verdigris. I still can't see it. The bloke is a knob or blind. These idiots grade coins to suit THEM. Not interested in these cowboys.

I reckon on a predecimal grading service would wipe out TPG's Some of the rubbish out there is appalling. Not interested in modern crap from the US.

Put a picture up and if it is good we have many dealers who will grade it FOC

Bill has been on this forum many times and his honesty is without doubt. Keep pegging away and I'm sure you will get a result. BTW CGS are associated with London Coins.

Give him the nipple clamps.

He is in Marks cellar and being stretched.

A decent early milled What a pug.???????????????? Black adder has a lot to answer for 6 wives and that was the best? i would take one for the team rather than Liz 1

Ebay will find their level. Send special delivery because there are some right scumbags out there. Good pictures and accurate descriptions do help. Good luck

It has been cleaned to buggery. May be collectible to a fanatic Not for me though.

WTF grand ma sucking eggs? Absolute dicks. I will NEVER slab a coin. If you don't know what you have maybe you are in the wrong game.

If you factor in 3 hrs each way a tank full of fuel and the lottery of an auction (if I like it I assume others will) I prefer a fair. I've only done the Midland and Wakefield (plus a one off at Norwich....I came home with a 1760 holster pistol bought from Mr Vosper.
