    odd term for full unc copper. even though its bronze and is sometimes yellow
  2. scott
    just been looking up farthings on aboutfarthings.co.uk it seems to say something about a 5 over 5 on there does the F in Fid look over T to you :/ hard to tell really
  3. scott
    yea i buy all these bargains knowing full well how much profit i can make but i wont sell em lol some coins you have to get what you are given, i have a clear date 1879 narrow date penny... cant see me seeing another one let alone a better one lol
  4. scott
    CCGB says £20, so yea, its aEFrather then VF, VF has more wear on the portrait and brittania
  5. scott
    or they could do something like those plastic capsules and put the grade etc on the side. that would save the space problem. or a removable card
  6. scott
    true but if you buy on the cheap, any upgrading you do can be topped up with a small profit from the lower grade but yea impulse buy, not going to get a decent bun halfpenny for that money for a while so sure why not and for free, the 1932 is good enough
  7. scott
    and got this out of the 5p tin... for free lol
  8. scott
    been to my dealers today, bought some cheap bargain bin stuff like normal, but had my eye on a coin i spotted on my last visit, so i bought it (wasn't sure of ballpark value in the first place) so yea got this beauty for £2, it was up for 3 but hey :/
  9. scott
    i have a fair few of our quids. who knows in 200 years i have the halfpenny fakes from the period, some are worth a good chunk of money though
  10. scott
    i have a 1999 1 franc in EF\Unc and 1998 5 similar grade but BU? how rare is 1999 franc anyway
  11. scott
    yea, its a bit odd, its had a fair few repunched letters, so hard to tell anything, the F in FID is an oddity, either way its a great coin
  12. scott
    i dunno? would they? if they had a genuine one, a slab saying as such would be benefical
  13. scott
    yea i wasn't sure which mint etc it was, its one of the restrikes got that for £8 though, which is under the going rate what about the farthing though, V's for A's?
  14. scott
    yea i posted it once, you can JUST make out the alignment of the 1 didnt know it was one until i acctually viewed the photo to upload it so there was a differance in alignment
  15. scott
    i dont agree it should sel for that either, its plain stupid
  16. scott
    that US cent is awesome, bit modern for that sort of money but MS-70 is top grade possible isn't it?
  17. scott
    i want one lol i'll stick to my F169 penny then :/
  18. scott
    ay? who has those?
  19. scott
    yea i like it in the artifical light, sometimes that lighting makes coins look worse. any thoughts on those A's and the date overstrike? the artifical light does show the 5 overstrike pretty well can see the whole shape of the old 5 also might need a closer look at the F in FID.
  20. scott
    it is the signiture version lol
  21. scott
    only 2 per post :/ here is the artifical light
  22. scott
    here you go some shots of both sides, obverse with natural and artificial light
  23. scott
    19k on a penny? how rare is this? it would have to be unique and gold to even warrent that imo but yea, i'm wondering what 1862 no signiture is too,
  24. scott
    k it arrived today, overstrike is obvious on the 5, got shots which i'll upload later, not easy to see anything with the naked eye around the 3 area so i'll post the reverse also as those brittannia a's look like V's but with repunches all over the place its hard to see
  25. scott
    yea those can happen, i do have a 2008 £2 coin (techonology) with the bottom dot on obverse missing that is cool
