  1. nah gather up what you want.. except William III, thanx
  2. it won'tbe that early, the arms in that format were used on Duits all through the 1700's and later
  3. dealer got a massive load of "junk" in a massive lot, had a look through the pennies, found a 1893/2 (95% sure anyway) 1860 penny 4+N (satin 14)
  4. hopefuly soon I'll sort out my 1831 penny Variaty and in the meantime I took a punt on this 1861 turns out it was a good Punt, Obverse 4 was the day after i found another with no signiture under bust in very low grade (obv 5?)
  5. o come on, thats just showing off now, missing so few of the 1860 pennies you even have the F15 I need to see an F14 to find one my Numbers never come up, getting 1 on the lottery is rarer then the F14
  6. most investments do dissapear into thin air nowadays
  7. which milled is this? all Milled, early? post 1797? and aussies always good to gloa... talk to those about sport.
  8. if we made euros with that britannia, wow but yea, we made our own prototypes, we also made ECU's throught the years as well.
  9. so THAT is why the french are always on strike.
  10. this probably completly destroys the value of my 1958 50 franc as well but why?
  11. $118 for a better grade one in the USA seems too high for me that price.
  12. the I of IND was one a looked at myself, it looks to be TO tooth, and i look again and still convinced it does, the I of BRITT is also to tooth, plus if you compare a normal 1911 with this one, the lettering is further away from the teeth also.
  13. it would. now back to the early milled. other rarities? been a fair few tin coinage on recently http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1861-RARE-Penny-Interesting-variety-of-Gouby-F-Freeman-25-4-G-R12-/190848577894?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEDWX%3AIT&nma=true&si=pB5oDIE9zR9VtmKyOCsl628Yklw%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc was this, which i'm not quite sure on that sold recently. Gouby F F25 penny Variety I got myself a BMC 686 halfpenny this is still for sale, davis 840 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1896-Victoria-Old-Head-Silver-Florin-Davies-840-dies-1A-EXCESSIVELY-RARE-/190852012910?pt=UK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL&hash=item2c6faa9b6e and this
  14. yea it was I who won the Gouby X and yes it is one, I checked all the allignments. there have been quite a few rarities on Ebay recently though, and still is.
  15. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1911-George-V-penny-/190853156705?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&nma=true&si=pB5oDIE9zR9VtmKyOCsl628Yklw%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc srsly?
  16. as i said it isn't visible with the eye, I never noticed it until I looked at the pictures. so it isn't that difficult to get it off at most 1mm
  17. yea, thats the thing, I have 1861 halfpennies 1 over lower 1, and the lower in is exactly that, no serif. you can barely see it with the eye so they wouldn't have been that far off.
  18. most over 1's are exactly that, a line, which is why i thought of it being so.
  19. clearest picture of the 2 enlarged i could get. ran this by some americans (they have loads of random pointless overstrikes on everything so if anyone can see one they can) and said it was. now such a variaty i havn't found listed or sold, hard to spot with the naked eye due to size of the coin, however the date is a fit for other overdates in other series so why not.
  20. ahh the crows foot, not heard about that one for a while. how come we are only covering 20th century anyway, what about the late 19th?
  21. 1906 and 1918 are the 2 worst years for this. I did see a nice well struck 1920 on ebay the other day. but i do not see where you draw a line, because its the same for the early milled, you can get clear writing, great details and, Britannia is missing a head
  22. I looked through plenty of washers in my time, found the odd rare
  23. no, i live the dreams of rare finds turning up
  24. if it is George V then usualy one side is stron if the other is weak. you will know, the rim would be a good judge.
