    US buyers pay far too much for some of them, some were made in US at the time as well, so they get listed as colonial and bids skyrocket.

    I stumbled across one of these on ebay. http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/britain-rules-colonial-milled-410968235 same under portrait initials, dated 1771

    I have, they just don't turn up... problem is it has now opened up a want for copy of montagu...... and thanks a lot for the book, only looked at a few pages so far though.

    some people take the mic with postage. if I am spending money, I consider postage, when you pay the total, it includes postage, so when i pay for the coin, the full total including postage is the price I have paid for the coin. I like a bargain, that postage price can make a bit of a difference sometimes.
  6. scott
    free postage, perhaps went higher because people are not including that price in the final bid?
  7. scott
    no idea, but they do not turn up often would love a copy peck myself but they are out of my price range the top price ones are higher grade, but yea, these do not turn up often, at a push it would fetch £20 given the damage.

    1698 date in Exergue there are not that many for that date. pretty scarce type.
  9. scott
    and me, or any 1903 open 3s? 1897 O.NEs or 1922 with 1927 boarder?
  10. scott
    I want that. yea the prices compared to currency are not that wide of the mark.. but early milled high grade currency? hard to come across.
  11. scott
    i only buy cheap rare washers...
  12. scott
    how is it an expensive mistake? wasn't a BIN, then it would be.
  13. scott
    I'm sure i can see part of the central part of the E there, the letter shape to me is E, but with die wear joining the central to the outer. if you look at the larger part you can see there is no curve it the kick at the end of the E and then a line linking directly to the middle. so although it looks like a B, if I had it, i would still say it was an E
  14. scott
    I would know in hand, but having lots of coins in all grades i would edge to say it is an E, unless the dies match exactly. and yea, they come in different sizes from what i have seen. I happen to have this example of 1718, seems similar, and in hand I hand to me, just no obverse stops, not enough there for me to say anything other then E (goinging off the first obverse E, it looks more like an R)
  15. scott
    I mean it is the die wear making the E look like a B
  16. scott
    going with die wear and an E
  17. scott
    yea, replacement bus service only.
  18. scott
    there are 2 variates of obverse, smaller and larger letters.
  19. scott
    5 over 5 no?
  20. scott
    love those, hard to get decent ones of those types on the cheap. don't have many of the farthings, this is my 1719, entire date is small numbers I think
  21. scott
    would be perfect for the Royal mint given the amount of sh.... yea
  22. scott
    as well as battles, fires.... and beating the germans.
  23. scott
    2016 will have many events.. lots of things happened in years ending with 66 :/
  24. scott
    we win a lot of battles. and besides the Britannia design, IMO, got worse every redesign since the copper pieces of the 1800s. and the french design wes always nice, the one from the 50 centimes and 1 franc from the early 20.c that was brought back in the 60s and modified on the euros lol
  25. scott
    why is everything so bland nowadays the 1994 50p was better
