    So Peter do you still get given a coin?
  6. Debbie
    Thanks for that info Bagtrap - how did you come up with that user name? I did wonder what the letters stood for. How long have the Masons been going, does anyone know? Peck I'm sure that's not the secret handshake!

    Hi guys. Here’s a recent acquisition of mine. It’s a Masonic “penny†although it’s not a penny but an 1854 half dollar and very toned!. Anyone know anything about the masons? Or maybe you have some first hand experience?! I’ve read that the coins are supposed to represent the original wages of a stone mason.

    Hi Chris - I've just bought a shilling off you!

    ???!!!!!! I know the first one is stairs......
  10. Debbie
    Well I can well imagine what the "bits" refer to...but the thruppeny....?
  11. Debbie
    Sorry you have totally lost me there Ski? Just a thought though, if there were an "official" number of ridges on older coins, could this not be an indicator of authenticity?
  12. Debbie
    Its fascinating how many different tangents you are able to follow through coin collecting...I never thought of emergency coins as another area. I am so enjoying collecting engraved cois as they come on the back of such a variety of different currencies, issues, materials shapes and sizes. Thanks for that intersting info David.
  13. Debbie
    That's interesting David. What denomination is it though? Going back to your 10C I have seen a lot of these with PEARS SOAP imprinted across them.I think it is something similar to the Lloyds Weekly Newspapers coins as a publicity stunt?

    This might be of interest too another diary

    Its a shame that the seller has such a stupid seller name!
  16. Debbie
    Thanks for the replies guys. Mmmm I might have a go with the Birmingham one then. If its at the museum my family might be persuaded to have a day out.

    You are not into Warhammer by any chance are you?! My son is heavily into this - talk about needing space, he's even expanded into the garden shed....coins are definately less messy!!

    Being a "fair virgin" myself, I wondered if many/any? ladies attend these things? Do you notice if there are engraved coins / love tokens on sale? In general how much are the entry fees?
  19. Debbie
    Leading on from this coin and as an interesting aside I posted a picture of it on a language forum in the hope that someone would recognise and translate the engraving I got a fair bit of feedback – not exactly what I had hoped for though! At least I have provided them all with some interesting discussion! My link
  20. Debbie
    Err yes that as well... I think that the sexual trend in the younger generation ( so I am told !) is for there not to be much or any hair around the bits!!
  21. Debbie
    Now then Peck you are showing your age....
  22. Debbie
    No it wasn't and no I didn't!!
  23. Debbie
    I've just googled pitman shorthand Richard and yes it does look very similar! ( how anyone could've invented that -the mind boggles!)
  24. Debbie
    Thanks for your thoughts gentlmen.Richard I tried spinning it but I dont think it was designed to meet up. I think what I might do is contact the V and A museum to see if they can identify it, but meanwhile if anyone does recognise it do let me know. Cheers D.

    And the reverse
