i got another fake in my change today, 1989 with EF worthy details, checked edge wrting... low and behold its faint the proof i wanted, i'll get that up when i can. now i got these last week... not £1.... but 20p's http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=966058 http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=966059

my bottom link might be one of those "white metal" ones, some white parts on the coin. i wish they would make the pound out of a more solid material.. or make a bi-metalic.

hah nice, might have rotated, the early £2 had troublesome centres

some examples of fake £1... some a good some are terrible, i will have more other coins as i get them http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=965646 1998- pound, best fake pound i have found.... one major flaw.... no pounds were made in 1998 http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=964116 - one of the most rediculous , dated 1993 with the celtic cross design (not used until 96) and the design is so poor and its not even struck aligned http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=964117 - 2000, more reasonable again alignment it wrong and legend is thicker then normal, detail is not good either http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=964499 what do you think about this one? http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=965685

the 1940 10 pfennig is aluminium the 1924 is weimar coin, and a nice design the gem is that 2 mark, it IS silver. i might be interested in that 2 mark, do you have a picture?

that first one seems to be the remains of an italian 20 centismi, looks cut down and worked on. the other seems to be a medal coin rather then a token.

RFG does pop up often its a dye break dunno what tomake about the 5 over 3 though, unless Heaton got a 1873 dye from somewhere (no 1873 H dyes)

apart from this being bargain of the season (25p!!!!! i payed) was wondering where it stood in grading wise, as the only coins from that period i have a far worse then this and are copper... and dare i ask... value? http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=964743

not really anything special about the date, most people keep coins from key dates, not much happened in 46 and 49 that warrented a keepsake from the year?

can i see the farthing from 1953?

silver 3 pence, not rare but a very nice coin none the less

you can make it out, looks along the line from the lighthouse to the side. and look at the strange "marks"

the lighthouse... look near it. seems to be some interesting shapes between rim and lighthouse.

while i'm here... trying to find out about this one... http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=964646 look near lighthouse

i dunno that 1861 is upper fair... and there are so many types... something i wouldn't mind owning myself isn't 1926 scarse on its own even without modfiied effigy

yea get photos up, also the 1953 farthing has scarcer types.

arrived today, gives me a look at possibly changing the grades of coins i have bought, and a few interesting bits of information on errors

i didnt get the 1858 because of the small date, i alays wanted a young head victorian copper coin in a decent condition, this was at a reasonable price (about £5 or something around there. also the main reason for collecting farthings.

yea usualy worth £8-10 i spent £8 on one of those, always nice to have at least one in a collection

1874h sorry about multiple posts. only 2 images per post. anyway anything sticking out that could up the value (dye combos, etc)

1853 not the unbarred A (i think, the lower A has a filled in A from the point to the bar) 1840, the gem purchase, £9.27 from what i see this is a quality coin if you need another picture i have another (but the way it is shot the lustre looks weaker)

1754 its been polished, but condition still seems nice, wouldnt mind a value. 1886 - saw the book price for above fine and got it for hardly anything need a value

so i ave been using the bay recently for a few purchases, after my bulk buys i started dipping into expansions of my current collections. as you guys know one of these is farthings, and i have a few here that might be worth a bit of money, the main thing for the coppers is that i get a proper identification and possibly a value. i need identification on these too my 1858 (large or small date? anything else i mised?) my 1861 i bought for a lowly £1 it has toning, and great details (i might redo that coin at some stage to sharpen the image) i'm guessing it is the small 8 version

wow that is nice

i'll wait till i get more money, this book will be very handy for my ebay purchases and working out mjy values
