    of course the pennys days are numbered, inflation will see it off like it saw off the farthing and halfpennys
  2. scott
    they could replace them with 99p coins problem is, there are so many pennys they are not even worth collecting

    actually mint darkened coins do show some sort of lustre, it still has the shine see my 1908 i love UNC grade, but i never use it, whats the point, its been in cerculation even if its taken directly from the till from the bag directly from the bank from the mint
  4. scott
    i would say thats UNC, very hard to see problems on mint darkened farthings though. i would say its accurate this to me is UNC as i dont see any wear. but something in the lettering and this one, again, to the eye it seems to be worse then the 1908 but on the photo it looks great

    i dont believe in BU either, i have no issues with toning, its a natuaral proccess, a coin can still tone but be UNC, it should be based on the wear in my view, i have a couple of coins that to the eye look like unlustred coins, BUT you shine it in the light it has that reflective effect from the lustre, and the key is, little wear, it doesnt detract from the grade in my oppinion

    cartwheel whats? never knew such things existed
  7. scott
    i had a look through my average curculated 1892's, and I found one that seems to share the exact size date numerals as an 1891 all numerals are the same size on it, shame the wear in the date is near the 2, i might have had a look there.
  8. scott
    best one i could find, bar a few 1895-1910 bit more detail on both sides then photo makes out, massive die crack going from E in ONE all the way to trident too, guess a good strike caused a strain
  9. scott
    i saw the 8 numeral is smaller, but it seems that way on a few others, but the 1 is definatly wider then normal
  10. scott
    to the eye the 1 in 1892 looks larger (it isn't this illusion is caused by the fat its far chnkier) i know not to worry about date numerals too much, but its getting on my nerves
  11. scott
    yea but look at the reverse
  12. scott
    yea its under the bust
  13. scott
    LCW under bust i have, but the picture is rubbish if you look carefuly you can clearly see the letters
  14. scott
    worst strike? like that? or that?
  15. scott
    my 1919 as you can see wear shows where detail is, full helmit was a probabilty as well as a great head of hair
  16. scott
    i have a VF 1919 that looks well struck
  17. scott
    nice pennies, gohsting was never fixed though
  18. scott
    i know the top one is hungarian
  19. scott

  20. scott

  21. scott
    i see the streaking on the cupro-nickel coins as well.
  22. scott
    interstingly it seems to pop in in 1953
  23. scott
    the gem of my farthing collection... was £6 lol
  24. scott
    you guys have so much money though a couple more 1728 6D plumes (scarce type) for 25p 1853 EF farthing (over 52?) for £6.19
  25. scott
