I have a 1927 Florin proof listed which ends today and overnight/this morning it had jumped up to 155 quid. I took a look at the underbidder who is from Malta and took a nibble 3 times at it. So i decided to take a look at what they have bought recently and surprisinly they are buying up 1927 proofs of all denominations and has recently purchased 3 1927 Florins. Looking through who they'd bought from i came across this auction which ends in 18hrs http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330764516796?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D330764516796%26_rdc%3D1 This is a 1p struck over a sixpence which can be seen in more detail on the REV. This must be a major error and so for anyone who's interested in such things the link is above. Good luck if you take a stab.

Errrrrrr yes Mongo, that'S the one i'm selling :lol: :lol:

Bit of cellotape should do the trick pies. It will have bullion value at least, not my thing either....

Not an aquisition as such: A friend of mine threw this up on ebay a few days back, and i was trawling what he was selling and came across this. If it's genuine has a Krause value of $3,200 I phoned him and told him the news, when he came to, he took it off fleabay

i didnt jump ship, ive been here most days , reading the various threads. all informative of course, all very interesting.....i too would like to say a big thank you to all for everything ive gleaned along the way. Ski Hey hey welcome back

Ha ha....what a clever old sausage you are......thats exactly the coin I've got!!! Now tell me its worth nothing!! lol Every coin is worth something to someone

CCCP is'nt that the old soviet union? Unless its english of course

Is'nt TVR now Russian owned, last time i heard? P.s, if the Cars were so good in British hands why are the now flourishing under foreign ownership? What i'm getting at is you're Talking abiut niche markets in which probably 80% of the UK Population could'nt afford. Where is British industry now, down the shitter because each government blames the last for all the problems, yet none of them can sit round a table and look at the situation and hold their hands up. They cannot and will not Fight for the common man, they are to interested in lining their own pockets 1st and Bowing down to Brussels. These tossers do not have Britain in their best interests, just their monthly salaries and blaming each other for this and that and forever going round in circles. And don't get me started on the welfare state, thats just a joke

And the REV

Did'nt know where to put this. Its British and Sterling silver weighing 73.6g and got in a job lot. Anyone interested in this?

Getting married is never cheap Stuart, the divorce Is costly to. I once spoke to a guy on eBay who was selling some amazing coins. He said it was basically all he had left after the divorce settlement, yes, he had to sell his amazing collection

I can feel the Love on the forum today. Just wish Ski had'nt taken everything to heart and jumped ship.

Sorry Derek, Peck Said Britain makes the best cars, my statement was intended as to which British cars? Not foreign owned companies who apply the Technology and Hand it to the UK to produce. I also meant cars that are affordable to Joe public and not the millionaire types

A clogged die, no biggie, happens often

But that would mean no coins for you Scott

Lmfao, theiy state they've been selling since 1997 and their scrolling bar states they've been selling for 12 years, what happened to the other 3 years?

Britain makes the best cars? Really? Which ones. Porsche, Rolls Royce, BMW, Audi or VW? I'm at a loss as to which you're reffering to Peck, can't be the Bugatti veryon either because that's also German. Give me a clue me old bean. Bugger i forgot Mercedes to, surely that F1 team can't be based in the UK, nor Ferrari. Don't even want to start on the modern day coinage, its dire

If we could make coins and cars as good as the Chinese and Germans we'd be laughing

Another here 251109961475 scary eh

Unfortunately not all coins that people collect come with logbooks Stuart, so as is always said, know you area of collecting extremely well

The little guys South African Penny arrived Liking the REV design to

Is there one publication that gives the average weights of earlier coins? Something i've been looking for to Derek. Now that this thread has made a kind of conclusion, is it possible to open a new thread called Fakes and post it in there and sticky pin it for future refrences?

My date cut out

Ok, so basically from what i'm seeing from Palves' coin picture, to Robs and then to mine is that the base of the 9 on Palves' picture is thicker than mine and Robs 9 in the pictures.The slope of the 9 gets thinner as it curves round at the bottom, but Palves' picture, the slope of the 9 stays fat at the bottom and there is no bubble like serif at the end of the 9 in Palves' picture, whereas there is in mine and Robs. Just observations, and theory Palves, is it possible to get a better picture of the 9 in the date?

Mine is 11.3g
