    it has the look of being fake, but you can't tell why. I have the same thing with the Geo V modfied effigy.. if i pick up a coin with that head I know it is one... (and usually 1927 :() but if I pick up an 1926 I spend a good while checking.. even though i can tell at a glance the 2 heads.. it just looks similar but with small changes and triggers.

    1863 over 7.... at least say 2 :/

    I have found OH viccies and Edward VII heavily worn both sides,to the extent of your average 1890's pennies

    isn't that a die error the filled thing, I have a few.. 1699-1701 the quality goes downhill find a few missing N as well spot the error another example of the filled T's... also on a cast planchet 2 more spot the errors some other rare unlisted William halfpenny errors 6 over 5?

    what is the date on the iceland coin? the earlier ones are worth a bit
  8. scott
    depends, leaving high bids doesn't always shoot up, only shoots up when you get a few high bids

    bit like when I bought my 1858 farthing, bought it because was a nice design and cheap, only to find out years later it was the small date one
  10. scott
    yea, but my favourate was 1879 penny.... 2 types, i got for 99p.. granted very worn.. but it was clear it was both 1879 wide and Narrow in the pictures

    try the post office as well, big city ones even sell sets etc.
  12. scott
    rares don't always get noticed though, bagged a few for peanuts in the past.
  13. scott
    yea and now everyone bids on it
  14. scott
    Royal Mint sell them, I actually bought 1 because it is the best design we have had on a £1
  15. scott
    no but May sold arms to Saudi Arabia who supply terrorists..
  16. scott
    well the Tories were too busy attacking Labour for anyone to notice, or remember that the tories have their own Buffoon... Boris.

    43mm and about 50g copper.
  18. scott
    I find it annoying as a buyer, you select the coins page and all you get are £1 coins and 50ps....
  19. scott
    well the coins back then were valued on silver weight, so a coin of similar metal, size and therefore, weight would be taken as legal tender, I see a few Metal detecting find lots on Ebay seem to have coins of Venice, so what we probably see are people trading, bring back the currency and use it. Remember also that Portugal is our oldest Ally.

    1933 halfpenny fell out of one of those 2p machines in Blackpool.... got a 1970 USA cent in Hawaii... was hoping for earlier
  21. scott
    got these + 2 Elizabeth II's (50% silver still) for very little, these 2 are hard dates, the 1914 is worth more then i spent alone. Denga, 1731 overstrike over a Peter Kopek 1764 2 kopek 1778 5 Kopek... high grade as well.. big lump of copper
  22. scott
    getting a Vatican set new costs a small fortune though
  23. scott
    I am seeing a lot of "early release" stuff as well now..
  24. scott
    so identifiable that it is a farthing.. worth less then a fiver. Don't see many Halfpennies, so even that state... not worth the asking price and people and their throwers... throw em my way.
  25. scott
    isn't that just random, like the old lettering placement?
