sorry about the scan i had to downgrade the photo to upload but messing around with the photo ruined the scan heres some closeups of some off the differences

ye got mine from the wonderful world of ebay. lucky enough mine was advertised a fake from the beginning. i think it was worth the few pounds i payd for it. dont think il be buying anymore in a hurry though. interesting to see that everything on the auction you have showed is a pretty good copy minus the spines on the rim which is the obvious giveaway thanks pekris

hi fellow collectees i have in my possesion a 1906 silver shilling now i dont collect these as a rule but aquired this one as a lot. i then decided to check a website for that year to see what it was worth as this person has hundereds of good grade coins. the coins that he had were only type 1 and 2 with no mention of a 2a for that year and the only 2a versions were 1903 and 1904 which were considerably more expensive than 1 or 2 so as i do i went on and checked and im 99% sure this ones a 2a on comparison am i right? and what would it be worth? thanks peeps

all my coins go into plastic capsules then into a 6 tray briefcase. when its full i just get another one, as these coins come out often soi also keep a tray for things i want to leave out of capsules just to tone a little more why. bother with a safe or storage at a bank i know people who just make seceret spaces around the house and hold them there and nobody would be the wiser, just dont loose your memory because that would suck!!!

got it in the post today minus the copper coming through its a mighty good copy. the rim is a little giveaway but the rest of the detail even down to the chick in the harp is detailed. A very good forger if i might say

gooday everyone i have recently bought an 1818 sixpence that i think is a good coin but it has a colour of brown on the high points of the coin. overall the coins condition is rather nice and there is very good detail in the coin i ave added a photo of the coin to show everyone and my thinking is that it is real but whatever the coin was stored in has left behind this nasty looking colour what do you think fake or real

here is a closer scan

HELLO FELLOW PEOPLES I HAVE THIS 1696 SIXPENCE AND REALISE THERE ARE A FEW VARIATIONS FOR THIS COIN. ON PROPERLY LOOKING AT THE COIN THE FIRST "L" IN GVLIELMVS LOOKS LIKE A "D" FIRST I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE JUST BEEN AN EXTRA PIECE OF METAL AND DUE TO THE TONING ON THE COIN IT DIDNT MEET IN THE MIDDLE BUT WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT IT MEETS IN THE MIDDLE TO RESEMBLE A NICE LETTER "D" THOUGHT I WOULD POST THIS TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS ANY THOUGHTS ON THE COIN IT IS HARD TO SEE IT AS THE TONING COVERS THE END OF THE LETTER BUT I CAN SEE IT ON AN ANGLE THANKS

the dent is located at 5 oclock between FID as you can see the photos didnt bring this raised dent out

the coin is graded about aunc dated 1899 i only noticed it when turning it into the light then you can properly see it. your book stated its worth about 30-50 pounds in the condition i have bought it in and ive payed 26 pounds and there was no mention of damage to the coin. should i complain?

hello everyone i have just purchased a sixpence in a very high grade but on reciept i have noticed there is a dent at about 5 o clock would this devalue the coin greatly, im a little miffed that the seller did not describe this obvious dent thanks again

on this large debate of error 20p coin heres an oditty that you will not come by every day but what do you think?

gooday people i have found a 20p coin minted in 1982 got it in some change today and on close inspection i noticed a semi circle on the obverse side so scanned it up when i got home and saw that it looked like it was there before the coin was minted as you will see by the scan then on closer inspection it sort of resembles the top part of the 0 in 20 from the obverse of the coin anyone got any thoughts and feelings over this?

hello fellow collectees i have a question about hammered silver coins i have a 1579 elizabeth I hammered sixpence and if i were to hold the obverse at 12 o clock like you should the reverse of the coin is at 9 o clock. i have had a word with my old man and he has an elizabethan sixpence but his is at 12 o clock both sides were they hammered in any way possible in those days or is this a one off thanks peeps

could i ask whats the dig with 1992 20p coins?

yes thats the little blighter ive found 2 of them altogether

hello people not sure if this ones been debated but what would be te value on a type 4 10 pence piece i have gone through about 2000 and looked while playing a ten pence machine and only found 1 is there any value to this yet?

sure heres the other side of te coin

i dont know really what it would be worth make me an offer

hello i have a sixpence dated 1758 but have heard there is an overdate for that year. i have added a small photo does anyone know if this is one as the 8 does look a little suspicous from the rest of the numbers thanks

gooday peoples i have had this new 20 pence coin from 2008. it is the new shield version and has the date on it but on the bottom of the coin where the matthew dent stamp is there is an extra piece of metal that looks like a number 1. i have done a little reasearch on it and did find an answer that it could be a first of batch for this coin. is this true or is it just an extra lump of metal left after minting the coin or has anyone got one of these coins thanks

her ya go obviously ive had to turn the coin so its the right way up I think we may be talking with our wires crossed here. When you say you had to turn the coin, do you mean the date is behind the top of the head, or is it behind the cut-off line on the neck? the date is behind the top of his head im guessing this is normal.lol

her ya go obviously ive had to turn the coin so its the right way up

all my post 1787 sixpences are all the same way up minus this 1831 which is the opposite way up from the other minted coins
