  1. By the way , its a nice coin well struck and atractive
  2. that would go back into the melting pot as a badly struck coin if the mint were doing their job right
  3. It might make it easy if you have a copy of peck does look like a raised dot on georges shoulder if that helps
  4. It has a tiny A+M on the bottom rev exergue which means its a joint effort between Allan and Moore
  5. I must admit I am disturbed with the reverse one irish symbol one Scottish and yet two English Did someone hate the Welsh?
  6. oh matron ! Its the same size as the Moore gothic crowns
  7. There are more recent examples like the pobjoy mint £1 isle of man coins in the early 1980's at the ideal home exhibitions they had a special privy mark on them. It might be interesting to get a list of exibitors from the great exhibition , to be honest i cannot see the royal mint being there but the heaton mint or moore could have been . I am asuming the new model crown came after the much more common gothic example produced in 1848 or a little later
  8. I must admit it looks very dated for the time (About 1850 ) a time when the british empire was massively expanding IMHO but at the time it's a perfectly good pattern coin
  9. I now have my own New model crown and a total beauty it is to I got it for less than three figures so am really happy its in about EF grade
  10. she obviously likes red bull with wiings like that
  11. ready for action then LOL
  12. Are you sure britannia is a british lady? I strongly suspect she was made up by the romans who would be very unlikely to put a local near naked woman of ancient british origins on one of their coins
  13. Yes , royal snail do things like this very often now since they started their double digit price increases about five or so years ago , Disgraceful service
  14. that one is very week on charles hair/laurel leaves
  15. yes pretty sure you are right
  16. well you have to be pretty good to play the hammersmith its quite big
  17. That's unusual they usually tell you to f***off and tell you your an idiot with S**t for brains
  18. Going to see"he music box" at the bridgewater hall tomorrow well its not really genesis but its very close its 48 years almost to the first time i saw them in 1978 at knebworth for a fiver tickets for tomorrow are £60 but hey you cannot take it with you and life is for living ......... just put some old cds on and enjoying myself
  19. would be handy for sellers if they didn't bother
  20. I wonder what you might have bought with it a couple of buns a half of beer an ounce of chease
  21. those must weigh practically nothing
  22. handsome coin
  23. Its all greek to me
  24. I picked up most of my britannias when silver was cheap , the best buy was the 2018/19. /20 oriental border coins 2018 was a 100,000 mintage low but no to low , the other two were 50,000 so the complete set is highly collectable now and rarely seen retails around £260
