    wasn't it like love tokens and advertising around that time. that's why pears soap is on the french 10 centimes a lot it says may have been cracked or broken.. but its a gold coin.. gold is soft.

    £100 coin.. we dont even have a £100 note even £50 notes cause mass panic

    wasn't this because people were cheating the system, was reports of someone stuck with thousands of pounds of commemoratives they were buying on credit card for rewards and whatever, then paying it off by cashing in the coins.
  5. scott

    i got an 1860 no colon dots after FD for less then 99p though remember

    I think its more you can't see that on worn examples or with the naked eye. the problem with overlays is when different dies are used, I have actually successfully used the technique for 1772/1 halfpenny, as i happened across the 1771 with the date placement that matches.

    normal 1 seems to have a flatter O in some cases in OMN
  9. scott
    is there not a slightly flatter O in the Gouby X?

  11. scott
    ahh that thing... I thought it wasn't.. then squinted at it made it look it.. it isn't though, I was tempted to buy it.. but not at 20+ quid. especially as i spend a fair bit on some early milled varieties recently
  12. scott
    Halfpennies are the way to go.. always undervalued. as for bulk buys on ebay.. they seem to be going for a lot then what i deem the value of the coins, but its always worth having a look through bulks, sometimes the odd bargain is too be had, but that's getting rarer now.

    yea.. those were just the little purchases, just had a look through a tin of old copper, and those were there. I had jotted down some dates on a piece of paper, and checked it.. had 1878 written on it.
  14. scott
