buns have bene like this for a while, only one i could get off the bay at a reasonable price was an 1887 in F... i''m sticking to the tins of "scrap" pennys you never know.

yea, but it is still a repunch and 8-15 in existance? possible, as the 6 would wear down wouldn't it? i would say there would be far more thne 8-15 made but for wear etc thats all we have

fantastic even if i can't afford anything will be a great referance

now that is interesting, because remember this "slanted 8?" it looks exactly the same bar the chunky bottom of 8, it is these moments i wished i had a very good zoom feature but there is a small something on the photo in the upper part of the 8 (cant see it by eye but there is definatly something running parralel with the 6 and the top part of the 8 seems to sink) of course eye and photo show 2 differant thinks (like the first 1 is visible clearly to the eye) but then again, without the zoomed date you cant see the overstrike on there either. not that i would pay £400 odd pounds for what is a repunch... i'll just gaze around looking for this particular datespread and slanted 8

i think 1896 is the exception, most 1896 i have seen have that spread, other dates its usualy the #2 #3 spread thats more common, with #1 being narrow etc

i guess its like the 1992 2005 and 6 10p's

i havn't gone through them properly, i have a bag of em somewhere, i have only found differance on the 1965 though

was looking at my sixpences for some reason. and spotted some interesting things. large beads, small beads different cross pointing, was wondering if these are listed anywhere

odd, i got on fine read a few threads on chrome and up comes the message... getting annoying

The Sun is read by the people who don't care who runs the country as long as she's got big t*ts. as opposed to being big t*ts? I would think the Royal mint would know how many they minted interesting that Lavrillier designed a pattern 1933, isn't that the same guy who did french pieces in the late 30's?

ahh that site is very handy, i still use that for my bun heads depends what you want to get into though.

and i would still take a 1954 over one

what about a rubbing. or the coin quickly sketched onto some card?

another recent find in a change jar, lustre looked odd, was because of doubling on obverse

got this a few days ago. every time, useless coins 1997 50's type 1 and 2 1992 10ps and i glanced at that obverse when i got it and put in pocket not very pleased as it was 3rd in a row i got the rubbish, took it out again later and spotted the shine. found this when sorting through some 20p's

i'm only interested if the 1933 is inside the foil

i have 2 of those... i plucked out an EF 1984 20p O.O

i know they are pretty common, i picked mine up for about £2. so expect about the same, but tbh, they very nice on the eye

i couldn't see the date on that penny i liked some of those designs in the background in the mint interview. but yea, fakes why should people get rid of em if they lose the money doing so. i kept my fakes there are some very good ones as well. best one i found.

everything is her fault anyway

come on george V was a collector, he MUST have had one.

groats are too small, they are 4p afterall they should be 2x as big as a 2p http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250678123080 really now.. a lot with a 1933 penny in... that price is rediculous :/

interesting point that florins and shillings passed as 5 and 10ps, might explain the reason the shilling was there in a moneybox of 70's and 80's copper, there was a 1950's florin around the house as well, i can only presume was the same reason.

its how it starts really, i found a 1954 english shilling in an old moneybox.. it grew from there

i know it is a 1945 5 cents minted in 500. silver in india. attached image shows it clearly
