    TOY COINS

    Just to start this thread off again heres a little lovely that I picked up at the last York fair (Friday) Have never seen one like this -its the smallest size and has a grained edge , hopefully someone might know a bit about it , its in lovely grade and I jumped at it for £12 , total bargain in this grade I am sure.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Great excuse to break it out and let it free , pretty sure a penny is worth much more than a halfpenny anyway
  9. Looks like its been cleaned as well if its a farthing
  10. Well by 1965 or so only 2% or %3 of bronze pennies were victorian bun pennies so it really must have been a long slog.
  11. Sorry i got what you said wrong - I understand it now - but just think of all those 1967 pennies - yuk ......
  12. I have done banking for a shop and I assure you every day you have to bank every coin from the penny to the two pound coins if someone had come into my shop and asked me to sort out say all the bronze coins till 1992 and offered me no financial reward they would have been laughed out of the shop , its basically a pain. Of course it was pretty handy for myself when the undated 20ps and kews were circulating
  13. Not really they would have plenty other coins beside pennies what about the shilling ,sixpence &threepence coins and halfpennies they would still have to sort the Victorian bun pennies for Mr freeman and receive no monetary reward
  14. Seems unlikely that the bus station would go to all that bother then sell them at zero profit --- come on would you do it????

    San José shipwreck treasure

    Seems right it should at least end up owned by a south American country instead of the Spanish
