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

heh thats cool, always nice to find out that your early buys, you knew nothing about at the time, are rare

you can get some great coins for 8 quid trust me i know.. i rarely spend over 8 quid on one coin and i got some rares and coins of decent value

i have 53 57 and 58 an EF but really halfcrowns are not my focus, but a good UNC coin is just that, good. looking through that list, i am very please dwith my aUNC 1908 farthing lol

oh look a cud in the EXACT SAME SPOT on the reverse as the 2008's

cash here? or in recent times nocashhere

the main problem is the new design coinage, weak strikes and cuds were poping up often on 2008 redesign pieces and it seems they have not gone away but i have found cudding on 2003 20p, i even found a nice doubled portrait one, 2001 seems to have the strasnge double strking effects i dunno if its to do with the thicker rim that that date has.

you know what annoys me, 8/10 times i get a 50p its a 1997... i do love a good circulation search. especally as i netted the small head 1992 20p in EF these are some of the £2 i have found over the years most interesting one (no dot between elizabeth and Def

1. i would understand if this was end of the year, but so early in the year for a coin that is a cudded mess? 2. this isn't the first minting mess of recent times (got many cudded 2003-5 20ps) (2001 doubled obverses on 5p and 10, 2 of each? i only have ONE other coin like it.. a 1992 type 1 10p) 3. this is the WORST i have seen for circulation its a hard photo to take to get the light to shine off the cuds so they are easy spots. one on rim next to T on elizabeth one under the T and one under H also one on corwn. there was ANOTHER cudded 2010 on ebay last night (large cud on both sides near the rim)

everyone knows the glorious reds are located in the same place the event the prestigious £2's were minted for thats the 2002 commonwealth games

there are a few on ebay, one with bun head victoria all dressed up. nearest i have are coins from prison camps

i have a 1985 saved from change

could get a few 50p's as well. and 2008 £1 old design is lower mintage then 1988 so save one of those

firstly, i can see what could be an H on the picture, and on another however to the eye there is no sign of the H, so i want to put that by the wayside however i was investigating my 1874 H's for die differances one is 7+H (with a narrow date) and another with wide spaced date another is 6+G now for the second part. this 1875 reverse seems to have the trident of the 6+g

yea but i wish they would stop inflicting thier english on everyone else. and why do they do dates backwards

at least we didn't use zinc

would be funny to send it off to get slabbed

no idea, i know 1901 is listed in the books, i have no idea why that would be either.

it could of course be the shine on the coin.

ahh yes overstrikes quite interesting on russian issues, they used older coins as bases for new ones, you can see the eagle wing coming out of the horses head

then the halfpenny would have to return surly
