    Coin envy as usual Brandon, where do you find these??
  2. Paulus
    He means 0.25p is 240% greater than 0.25d

    Hi Coinery, welcome to the Forum! I'm guessing you are Guy, we exchanged emails recently? We have another member called Coinery (not The Coinery), Stuart, but he is taking a break from the Forum at the moment ...
  5. Paulus
    Mine too

    How big sorry??
  7. Paulus
    My ongoing poverty is certainly assured, it will doubtless be a moving feast! Thankfully not a died in the wool completist!

    A circulating design example of every silver denomination for every English monarch Henry VII to George VI is my current goal!
  9. Paulus
    Yes, love it, Henry VII is one of my next targets and I would be delighted with that!

    The inconsistency bothers me (across the board), but I guess it's inevitable at the top end, trouble is it can involve a lot of money ...
  11. Paulus
    Well that's a bonus, like Rob said. more impressive on a smaller flan!
  12. Paulus
    With you on this Colin, I believe there are several valid reasons why people (including experienced dealers and collectors) may want to get a coin slabbed, the reason you cite being one of them
  13. Paulus
    I am mean! Yes, on reflection I would grade it a smidge higher than Fine, approaching GF (lol)
  14. Paulus
    Just Fine for me I'm afraid, sorry!
  15. Paulus
    Welcome Et Tu! If genuine, that is a half groat - the 2 pellets to the right of the bust denote two pence (half a groat) My guess is that it is a low grade genuine example of a half groat

    Apropo of nothing, April Fool's day is still a week away ...

    If I didn't have a copy already, I'd be snapping up the Lloyd Bennett one at £18 delivered, especially if new / as new!
  18. Paulus
    This is a hell of a mystery, it must be thinner, can you confirm that?
  19. Paulus
    No worries, yes, Paul! Richard's Forum name gets everyone (unsurprisingly!)
  20. Paulus
    Welcome Michelle Just down to poor standards and quality control at the Mint, all too common these days!

    One good reference book on Charles I coins is Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles (SCBI) Vol 33 - The John G. Brooker Collection My favourite period is pretty much the whole of the 17th century
  22. Paulus
    I do not any longer regard these as coins of the realm, I see no difference between these and some tat produced by Westminster or The London Mint Office Yes I know they are 'approved by the Queen'
  23. Paulus
    Chris' group is designed to test the RM's narrow definition of legal tender - so far no-one has posted that they have been able to pay court fines with these coins! And yes, virtually nowhere to go!
  24. Paulus
    I imagine the response they would give to a FOI request would be the (or their) definition of legal tender. Interesting posts in Chris' Facebook Group ' Pay your court debt/fines in £20, £50 and £100 coins NOW' Greed has got the better of them imo
  25. Paulus
    From the DNW auction Richard? That's a tactic I haven't tried, nice one
