    well ive popped em into those paper coin envelopes, purely so as my grandchildren (if my sons ever get round to it) can ask, why did the silly old fool put two away, they may even look and try and find the differences.

    saw your thread and then saw this, thought it may be of interest.....ski

    that is helpful as it means mine is a standard coin......perhaps its normal to close the v then, thanks for your reply....ski.
  9. ski
    yea i guess so, interesting to pick out different examples from my change, but maybe also a definate slip in standards of minting.

    just checked esc and mine is die #38 which guides me to a normal coin.

    Just got this 1874 florin and im wondering if the v of iv in the date is normally closed or not, im aware there is a iv over iii varient, but am i right in thinking my coin is the regular coin and the v is normally closed?....
  12. ski
    heres what i would have thought to have been a normal 2010 20p

    wondered whats happened here with this coin, just a bit of waste metal caught up in the manufacturing process or a flaw in the die? Also damaged bead!!..........just poor manufacture???

    Famous example! Sadly, all too rare. Armistice of Steyer ended the fighting in the revolutionary wars on the...... wait for it....WAIT FOR IT......................December 25th 1800. you know were real lucky to not only be able to look back on history, maybe even learn from its mistakes, but as coin collectors....even hold a little piece of that history in our hands. The magic of coin collecting.

    """"""And i agree with you Red, although it being Christmas, do wars stop during xmas? No!!!! """"" maybe reread your post
  18. ski
    yes a war did stop at christmas, December 25th 1914. german soldiers started to sing "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht" (silent night to you and me). recognizing the tune, english soldiers joined in, presents of tobacco and chocolate and handshakes were exchanged and several games of soccer were enjoyed ( i expect the brits lost on penalties). Hostilities resumed at 8-30 am on the 26th. Evidence has been found and observations made that the truce was observed every christmas of ww1.

    ive seen another 1926me on ebay......starting price £1000 im amazed!!!!!.
  22. ski
    im pre-decimal!!!!
  23. ski
    and of course a millenia is about a millisecond to a computer set up to generate passwords
  24. ski
    ive never seen a 26me let alone tried to photograph one, however i would add that i personally think the image was quite good in that it captured the lack of detail in the obverse very well. Whether that lack of detail is down to wear or a weak strike, i will leave to those who know more about that penny, but i dont think it was down to a poor image. anyone wanna send me their 1926me to photograph?
  25. ski
    okay dave....thanx........payment sent via paypal............Steve
