  1. been after one of those.
  2. the more interesting date spreads always interest people though. the 1861 with the very close 1 comes to mind
  3. how many reverse F's are mixed up with D's? this might be an F but i'm struggling comparing between D
  4. 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.
  5. £100 coin.. we dont even have a £100 note even £50 notes cause mass panic
  6. 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.
  7. got these quite cheap
  8. i got an 1860 no colon dots after FD for less then 99p though remember
  9. 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.
  10. normal 1 seems to have a flatter O in some cases in OMN
  11. is there not a slightly flatter O in the Gouby X?
  12. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131345546693?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT what about this one then?
  13. 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
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. these plus a F-VF 1899 penny and a low grade 1844 and a couple more badly worn 61's £4.50
  17. I got one in EF lol
  18. couple more cheap buys, clipped planchet denga and a clear overstrike 1731 polushka
  19. very nice 1810 2 kopek Rarest Variety of 1731 kopeck, having 1 line between denga and date (most common being 2 and no line being rare)
  20. managed to pick up these 2 together
  21. and on a cast flan.
  22. almost forgot about this one 1772/1
  23. looks more like the top of the 6 then a zero
