I'm wondering if you meant Cayenne or Caymen........Cayenne being the 4x4 that Chris probably thought you were talking about, the Caymen being a nifty little 2 seater

And for gods sake, DO NOT PART WITH THE SILVER COINS, they have bullion value, if they have no numis value then just pop them in a jar for years down the road. Silver is sky high right now, so if its pre 1920 do not part with it. ??? so u saying it will go up in price? i was selling the silver not just giving it away If "Silver is sky high right now" (which it is) then now IS THE RIGHT TIME TO SELL!!! Always sell when the market is rising high - those of us with longer memories can recall what happened after 1980-81 (the last time the silver market went sky high) - it collapsed spectacularly back to its former levels and didn't recover for years. I believe the Labour government sold our Gold at what they thought was a sky high price, lost the economy quite a bit of Geld i believe Chancellor Peckris lol. Hold onto the silver bullion hello17

From not a rich Scotsman (i have a wife you know) i'd still keep hold of the silver, add to it if you can, junk coins etc, no numis value other than bullion. 2 theories Hello17......1 you are young enough to collect the scrap for a while and 2 you are young enough to get ripped for the bullion value. What you were thinking of selling, don't. Stick it in a jar and keep hold of it Peter, what have you in scrap for sale in silver?

Just thought i'd add a photobucket picture of the 1844 farthing. I also noticed a small spike in the trident, about a 1/3 the way up, not sure if thats the norm.

here's another for you

Quite a few short skirted ones here in Essex.... Essex chicks are easy

I think the Edward I silver penny grade might be optimistic

Also interesting that 3ds are also considered Maundy types and still valid lol

So is last nights farthing going to be defined As a variety Colin?

Lol, ONLY GEF Bob, at least you have one. It was a nice looking coin though, was that about as expected for an 1844? Is that also the first time 1 missing Colon has been noted on an 1844? Is Colin going to have to do more variety work on his website now? Well done Dave As far as I'm concerned that is clear.(not noted by Peck,Bramah,Freeman et all)or me although I haven't studied many (I got a lower grade one many years ago and haven't sought to improve...both top stops are less prominant) My guess before the auction would of been £600.Lets hope 1/4d's don't go the way of Buns Once Colin publishes the market will rocket...and yes if I had spotted the FID.I might have gone to Mrs Peter for a release of funds. Well at least you now know that there is a variety of sorts out there for the 1844 and my guess is, that whoever bought it also saw the missing colon which in turn sent the coin spiraling into the unknown.

Lol, Colin will be pulling his hair out

Maybe the fact that there was only 1 COLON after FID pushed the price farthing boys Betcha didn't notice that till i mentioned it Its ok, the penny man will keep quiet that you farthing boys missed that HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE MISSING COLONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN IN FID

Sorry It was also obvious it had to be a farthing man Take a look at the Farthing i've put in the coin aquisition of the week, 1773, seems as though the B is over R in BRITANNIA

That was'nt insultive hello17, the man in question is the sort of type new collectors like you need to avoid, and my few words there were not harsh enough, trust me, never buy from this man on ebay when you're old enough to start paying taxes. i have rarely trusted ebay ... i just wait by staring at my penias I'm hoping he meant Pennies

Unfortunately i got shafted by a dealer on your side of the pond, ebay seller name jeffone. Ripped me off for $200, said he'd sent a coin to an address i wanted him to ship in the USA, he uploaded the track number, and after a week and nothing i contacted him about it, he said it had been delivered and sent me a tracking number along with the email. I could'nt check util i got home, but the tracking numbers were different I contacted ebay and they did f all because it was'nt paid by PP, and now the fat t**t is sitting with $200 of my money is his Madrid account and my effing coin

Again, there seems to be some distance between trefoils and bust, but that could be to the wear.

Dave, I've been studying your picture quite closely, alongside just.me's uploaded images. What seems to be the case is that the bust on yours is the same position as on those others. It just LOOKS lower because it is very very weak (whether from the die, or just on that particular coin, it's really not possible to say) at the base of the bust where the WW would be. But, looking at the base of the bust both to the left and right of that area where it's less weak, it appears to be the same height as those others. However, it is very difficult to determine with absolute precision without overlaying the images in different colours one over the other. is it daveg38 thats good at that sort of thing? Someone on here does a good job with photoshop

I've never discounted this possibility, it is just that we need corroborative evidence. I don't know if the RM has dies etc. over and above those listed in Hocking, but if they did there is an outside chance the argument could be settled. Drop them an email with the question. Lol, Rob you're talking to the wrong man about Hocking and emails to RM, i don't even know what/who Hocking is, i'm assuming someone like Davies and Rayner etc.

This is what i've been actually trying to say, if the bust was punched lower, which in this case it seems to be, then there would be no WW as it would have taken it out. Glad we're getting a little further down the road with this.

Ok, and here's mine with a bit more tinkering. Still a distinct gap between bust and trefoils obviously leaving enough space for the WW. And the die number on my coin looks more like a 4 and 9, might be staring at it to long

and the last one

Ok, i've enlarged what just.me uploaded and put them in photobucket
