  1. Not moved far have you LOL
  2. A lot of the fakes are described as silver (they are not) they are base metal but it could be another way of making it difficult to these sellers by reporting them
  3. Interesting coin the 5 shilling piece the old age pension was introduced in about 1905 or 6 and all over seventies got five shillings (A crown) to live on . Over the years inflation increased its value to approx. where the old age pension is now £200 .Almost a eight hundred percent increase Funny enough £200 was about the amount I paid for the coin about a year ago , it might fetch £250 now if i was lucky. Lots of strange coincidences there though.
  4. My fav at the moment a 1902 crown will put pic on soon
  5. As a fun film "The madness of king george" is not bad , puts a lighter and more human side to Georges you even feel sorry for the king at times.
  6. Wales always was a bit behind the times ...........
  7. You might be better off at the ironbridge gorge outdoor museum
  8. Heres my 1799 a lovely example bought recently at least EF with lustre and no problems only £20 I wish i had a 1806 and 1807 is similar grade
  9. Looks like a real winner now , I would try it sometime with a suitable coin I am sure you have at least doubled the coins value , its not worth a fortune but there again who wants to experiment with really valueable coins.
  10. yes but they have been around quite a while -its not as if 50 years ago was yesterday
  11. I imagine a slow upward curve might happen
  12. So LSD is pre jimmi hendrix?
  13. certainly yes , in the war years QC was not the same as when we were not at war
  14. I ment farthings or halfpennies
  15. 1721/0 is also quite scarce
  16. Are governments about "Fun" things? from my experience over the last 50 years or so I say no
  17. Did minting coins improve his eyesight I wonder?
  18. "The Harold II silver penny hoard only includes pennies minted by the king" You would have thought a king would have better things to do
  19. I suppose if any shopkeeper was offered up a gothic crown they would be a bit daft to not take it for face value seeing as coins were bought and sold as antiques in victorian times . Wreath crowns come into the same bracket
  20. Were gothic crowns ever currency ? Thought they were patterns.
  21. Type sets are easy till you hit wreath crowns and 1902 crowns
  22. You can get the good stuff off ebay even if it is never supposed to be posted I bought a 2 ltr bottle a few years ago and still have loads
