yep unbarred A as well but also BRITTANIAR . no colon although loos like it has been a weak strike there

what do you mean by "readjusted"

Hi all Just noticed a possible overstrike on a 1852 farthing If you look at the E in REG is has a double strike on E or Over an F Whats your thoughts on this as i cannot find it listed Cheers James

Dealer is an old boy who has been collecting for years i got to know him through a friend who deals in gold. This guy is based in the Scottish Borders, dont think he has a shop or anything but i will let you know what happens when i see him next.

My 2005 book is mostly sellotape now..... but the wife just bought me 2006 from Santa, and she was also robbed when she bought me 2 sovereigns, 1902 & 1903 she paid £340 for them (joint bank account... she never learns!!) so i had a look for them and found them (as i said she never learns)..... Guess what will be getting returned on the 28th?? Thing that gets me most is that i have bought hundreds of pounds worth from this guy..... no more, he obviously didnt know my wife. He must have seen her coming!! JR

Ello again. I have acquired a 1902 penny which does not look quite correct. It is highly shiny and lighter than a full lustre penny. I will try to get a decent pic of it but thats not easy as it is reflective, i have a total of 48 1902's including 4 low tides and this is really puzzling me.... it has a few edge knocks...... all details are clear and if it had the full "normal" lustre i would grade a good EF as not much wear at all (well edge knocks) Can this be a proof?? It doesnt look to me like it has been polished. no scratches are evident. Im Confused james Will do a pic tomorrow

Aint it bad when u lose things in the post??

What about this on ebay just now?? 8351328024 James

Thats a misstrike £2.00 i mean not a 88 One pound

Yep, i got another tonight in change again, exact same lol... mint man must have been drinking!! OK so who has a normal one without the misstrike?? Is that going to be the rarer one?

I was not really interested in the decimal stuff, but as my daughter took an interest in coins i got her collecting them. She is doing great for a 9 year old and has a few rarer issues. Problem is she wants to do the pre decimal coins as well, which i know will start to cost me a lot so i think i will start her on pennies! looking at her coins she has nearly all of the 5p and only needs 2p and £1.00 for 2005 to complete the year. Not bad for going thorugh my bottle bank!! she does a great job when she is at collectors fairs, gets stuff cheaper all the time. Jim

an' anudder

forgot the pics

Aye, was in the change of penny chew...... had to split a fiver as well!! an i got this 2005 £2.00 coin too i think its a good misstrike?? Its my 9 year old daughter that seen this one lol, she is atking a real interest in coins James

Hi folks Excuse my ignorance, What is the problem with the 1988 one pound coin?? i got one in my change today Cheers Jim

I have another worn die too a 1868 i think (at work just now), Second 8 on it looks like a B, think i need to upgrade my eye piece to the one with the light and 10x mag. on six at the mo'. I have noticed so many variations on the farthings especially, im finding it hard to note them all. Does anyone have any good recording programmes for coins?? I am beginning to wonder why i started going through this lot now!! i have every year of farthings now from 1806 ( i think) bought some from Cooke coins as well and got great quality from there. I will buy more from him as service was good. Any VF or fair coins i am upgrading. ....... also why does Spink not record the 1882?? Cheers folks for all your help and comments

mmmm me too

Pic 3 DEF and Trident and B (pic isn't too great)

pic 2 The B

Its me again. Have a new issue with a farthing here, the 1839 has 3 errors?? 1. 2 pronged trident - clear to see without magnification 2. No stop after DEF 3. On the B of Brittianiar, it is not all there (see pics) Is it normal to have as many on one coin?? Thanks again 3 pics James
