Have you seen their commemorative £5 yet?
I think they might have photographed the wrong Will and Kate...
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:I mean honestly, what a load of twonk.
Poetic licence with Wills (Rocker!)hair and kate looks a bit squinty eyed and puggish
Will is identifiable on the coin, but Kate... is that even Kate?

The date on most are "squiffy".
The squiffiness seems normal enough.

I agree about eBay.
You have a lot of duplicates for some years and Victorian Pennies are selling quite well at the moment.

I don't have a copy of Peck but the National Library up the road does... because it has a copy of everything ever published in Britain.
-
Seen this listing when it first came out - decided on fake pretty much instantly.
Seems an alright fake... is it a modified date? Or a tidy fake?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:When was the last decent design on a crown-sized coin? I'm struggling to think of any post-1977.
The only one I actually like is the 2008, Elizabeth I commemorative crown. The proof is particularly nice in my humble opinion. Agree pretty much about all the rest.
That's the one with Elizabeth the first with 4 arches?
Yes, that's right. The uncirculated coin is quite nice, but the frosted proof is a lovely design. Compared to all the other tatt that has been produced over the years, it stands out. Some of the modern stuff is dire. For instance the 2003 Coronation Jubilee coin, which I think is awful.
Compare some of William Wyon's designs to William and Kate's monstrosity... even though technology has advanced so much, there's a world of difference between the two.

A penny for your thoughts...
Old news!
New seller though. Would be a "nice one, Tony", if some poor sap with more money than sense, fell for it.
Or as John said "Not a very NICE1TONY!!"

The old bugger was in Wales on Tuesday!
I wonder how many eggs he received?

Sorry but I just had to cut and paste.....
I am able to obtain such rare coins because I work in public transport
This coin is extremely rare indeed, only one of two in my collection of over 400 £2 coins
Well at last we know how to grade rarity on a scale of every public transport worker has 1, 2, 3 etc etc
It's called the Bus Driver dip sample.
You pocket a handful of £2 (look around for Arriva officials while you do this!)
Pick out the pretty looking ones and spend the rest in Spar on the Sun and a pack of fags.
Commence dip sample.

Accum,
Nice 1827. It's hard to find one as nice as that! Most have a lot of heavy pitting!
The seller has another couple in similar condition!
-
Could we have a picture or a scan please?
If it is a no-H that means it's close to undocumented.

Speaking of amusing communication mistakes due to bad tech... check this out!
It uses Google Translate to translate it back and forth from whatever language until it's completely useless.

reasonable P&P Not!
Ouchy! I hope to god thats a typo! I'd want next day delivery to Mars for that price!
If you buy it in Australia however it's $7 postage which is more reasonable.

Hi Azda, Can you PM me the price you're looking for, I might be interested?
If you have 4 grand lying around!

My grandmother was worse than me lol. The question is, whats the point if eBay having a No returns button if people dispute something, its pointless
My grandma's saying was "You step on my toe, I'll stamp on your neck!
She was a collector too (I received a Co-Op bag of 200 pre-decimal pennies she'd been chucking in there before D-Day when I started collecting - she wasn't around to see it though
) -
Paid that much for an EF example!
-
This info is a godsend!
Thanks all.

"Is that a roll of coins in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me

Well something a tad less diverse than Coin News and with some interesting articles for light reading would interest me.
Anything else is a plus (e.g something like picture grading for types of coins, coins for sale, articles on variations, interesting pictures, archived coin info, extracts from old coin books, interesting guides etc.)
1874 Halfpenny 10+J
in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.

I have a 12MP which is great for detail however it's not DSLR...
However I have just realised I've got a Sony a DSLR downstairs for photographs... may just use that in future!
