  1. i got a belfast one, i dont see why these are dated 2010 when they have only just come out it seems. no sign of mintage figures though
  2. anyone winnign the league is better then sh... ahem city winning it y the question about Y's
  3. I was execting this to be about a penny not a cent. i think in terms of foriegn dealers you have to remember they will know far less about our currency then we will. it is the same with ours and other currencies. they have thier books but really.
  4. the answer is 1 they dont come cheap
  5. i buy the odd 2 or 3 hammered small bulk lots from ebay. great fun found some nice bits as it turns out.
  6. surly the pie tax should be 3.14% >.>
  7. guy with best name is nortei nortey
  8. yes it does, so would be a bit of value. the jeton is a very common one, from around the same period as the gunmoney piece, but there were a few differant legends and designs. Nuremberg Jeton of Hans Krauwinkel II - have a browse for those, they were made between 1536-1635 couple of mine note the differant legends, so could be some value if you can find out more.
  9. whatever that mess is at 10-11 o clock probably
  10. ahh yes mintmarks. is E* and E both edinburgh?
  11. tories taxing pies? have the not drained enough cash from the north yet? get labour in, and they should go around taxing small portions with stars
  12. i got this one
  13. i dunno about roman silver, but arn't some roman silver coins plated?
  14. i like toned coins, especially EF as that damage is caused by the slight handling the coin has had, working the silver over long periods
  15. MS state can't be toned, as it wasnt toned when it left the mint. i like a good toner, but there are things there that make it look more random, purples etc, i bet it would look differant in differant light, but i dont get where yellow has come from here.
  16. looks like copper. is it artificial?
  17. it is the case for all of them. even if they die in january of that year, the monarch at the start of the year is on the coins.
  18. i would go with the dies as well. it is still better then the quality of curculation coins, so much low relief junk all over the world now
  19. well if the royal mint want to do any more sets, always the chelsea manager 50p's royal mint need to make profits? they litteraly make money ffs
  20. that colour is possible, but not like that no toning on the shield, yet on some strange parts of the head, i would see legends as toning hotspots and around the portrait and in the shield, but in that grade i would just expect a dull grey
  21. yes, i know about the great depression, but it didnt stop the massive ammounts of silvers did it and yes why is 1933 a sought after date in UK too
  22. looks like 5 over a recut 5 imo, nothing to say there was another number other then a 5
