I know I am only back to the forum this morning, but I would appreciate your thoughts and opinions on this 1965 halfpenny

Thank you, and sorry I should have known

Good morning all, I'm new as its been a while since I last posted and signed in, I didn't think I would even remember my pass word. My focus changed to more modern coins and banknotes, and a lot of face book groups, but it's nice to be back

Thank you, i have a lot of catching up to read

just an update on the 1821 farthing double arrow head,what do you think the bottom of the two arrived to day or the better one.

hi,it`s been awhile since i posted anything,i have`nt run away from coins just yet,my library of books consisted of 2 collectors`coins 2011 & 2013,british coins market values 2012,and 2 small books from 79/80 which are in the roof space,but saying that i picked up another book yesterday, coin collecting as a hobby by c.c chamberlain and burton hobson.they have me down to a T i.e jackdaw were as i would have classed myself as a magpie.but to be a magpie it`s all shinny stuff like silver which i have very little of yet.so with that said back to the farthings,i have which i need help with and i will keep this short. 1821 double arrow head top arrow in rim teeth. 1840 doubling first 3 letters of victoria & last 3 letters of gratia, 7 a good few teeth bottom left at victoria. 1845 all date doubled or recut but looks like 1/I. 1860 BRITT:REG.F.D no colon or stop after D,to colon dot after britt just make it out at x60. 1860 this is a ? A in farthing recut with an unbarred A or inverted V. 1872 3 7`s one over the other. 1875-H another ? date doubled with the 7 and n of farthing tripled. that`s it for present,i have joined photobucket,but i`ll need tips with taking photo`s. thanks shamo...

thank's again Nordle for your help, if i come across another i'll keep you in mind.

hi, how common is it for an 1918 kn penny to have trident pointing to 12 o'clock rather than 1. thank's shamo

i did'nt know what the term for it was,thank's, the coin is in a 2x2 just flip clock wise,i tried the mirror about 10 time's i just could'nt get a photo i was happy with,for this error it's a first for me to see or even find,i'm going to hang on to it until a better one come's my way.

thank's for getting in touch,the trident would be to 12 and britannia's head at 11, making the trident vertical with the obverse,it's a hard one to photo,it's the only 1918 i have and compared it with a 1919 kn which has britannia vertical.

hi again, looking to pick some brain's found a coin i liked bid on the coin i liked payed for the coin i liked the coin i liked was posted this is the part lost in space 6 week's waiting for the coin,contacted the dealer, offered a refund,that,s ok and fine the problem is i liked the coin and i would still like to have it,so does the coin belong to me if it ever turn,s up again,or what is the protocol,over this. i.e. 1862 b/R bought for 15 quid and worth a lot more,if it had got lost in space,and turned up a few year's latter, the one who bought it first for 15 own it and belong's to them. thank's shamo

hi, i don't know were to put this,1822 or 1825,t in Britannia,what do you thing.

hi, i like to know how many came across this,this is an 1842 farthing,i'v seen it on another farthing,what do you think.i hope the scan's are all right. thank's shamo

i feel a right fool is it they possible recut part of the letter and it's a repair,sorry for the post

thank's Danz,the person has not got in touch from my last message,So i don't know now,it can still turn up.

i sent another message looking proof or a receipt from the post office and fore warded to me. thank's again every one

the person offered the refund,but i haven't excepted it,which she could still go ahead and refund me,and from Gary 1000's post i did'nt take that in to a count,and to ebay that's not a load ether,i just hope it wont drop from outer space with a heavenly buy it now tag.

i'm thinking its a bit fishy,but all the box's are ticked and she could be straight forward and decent.the only one other bell that would be ringing for me is the photo could have come from some were else and not her's or spotted the flaw and keep it. it's going back to a legal owner ship of any item be it a pair of shoe's,the person has excepted the money for the item.if the item come's up fore sale again,ether by that person or persons other who own's it. point being 1 coin 3 5 10 known you didn't spot it when you bought and payed for it,and just payed normal postage,until you look back and see what you had bought,it is going to a hard pill to swallow and more so if you were to see it again for sale.is it a case for some you win and some you lose.

thank's for getting in touch, Nordle 11 i like your post,i do have good faith in the RM and the postie's,i know two who worked in London head office, 1927 much much lustre penny reverse: missing down ward stroke to sleeve under Britannia's arm missing,cuff extend's to below elbow like a ribbon. send out the sniffer dogs,it's my my my my

hi Rob and thanks for getting in touch. the person not a dealer as such,i call every body a dealer if there selling something.Because were all looking deal's. the person has 100% feedback so there was no prob's there,and she did offer a refund.she marked the box as being posted,and date of being posted in ebay. so every thing is fine to this point. i don't wise to except the refund,and still hope the coin turn's up,like your self i had one other parcel go a stray,it turned up at my door 6 month's later,had been redirected from abroad.We all have the saying finder's keeper's or most people do,but it has come to light that is not the case.So is it legally my as i have payed for it were ever it turn's up.

hi,just looking at the top two coins,the obv's are different as in the lettering,bronze mad the tail end of head dress look's to be pointing to an 'n' of nstan and the last 'n' in line with the crown of the head.As jpk's the tail end of the head dress points to a 't' of tant and the last 't' is just below the crown.would i be right

thank`s austin for your post and i`m glad you liked it and hope it helps a small bit,welcome to the forum your the first newbie i`v welcomed to the forum and i hope you wont be the last.i hope you have made your self known to the other forum members so they to can welcome you to, and hope to hear from you again.

thank`s colin for your reply,and i`m starting to under stand a small bit,i was hoping you would reply because i for got to mention your site it`s a great learning tool for someone like me.i`m drawn to the micro varieties as i pushed my self for perfection in all the years in my trade,and i all ways took it the mint was what the word said mint,and then i was handed a 5 cent nickel which had been clipped back in 94 95,and it`s only now i`m getting the chance to try and build a small collection,nothing might every come of the coins as i know but it`s a starting road which with the help on here the road will stay straight and keep on coining, so thanks again it`s a pleasure. shamo

hi rob,i had put up a thank you reply a day or so after you replied to my post,but it got taken down with every thing that was happening with the site,and if you did`nt,well thank`s again.as for the farthings i don`t think i`m barking mad,but some time`s we do need some one to tell us,is what i see the same as any one else am i in the right ball park or what,because i just got an 1862 shilling double c which look`s like c/o or the other way round,because the c is closed,i think it is a c.by the way this reply is`nt about the c it`s about the 6 in the date and if it is known 6/5 and to say thank`s to rob,and it`s nice to see the site up and running again. thanks shamo
