don't try eating it afterwards lol

a cocktail stick could poss improve it but be careful

seen a lot worse , scarcer date as well.

And that would make me really cross , all that history down the drain Makes you want to not claim to be sparticus

It was often said if you took all the pieces of the true cross from around the med and you could build a boat out of them

pretty sure they stopped selling them in the early eighties it coincided with a 20% -30% drop in the collectable coin market at a guess 1981 or 1982. They have never been for sale except in the second hand market since.

In the mid to late seventies whitman folders retailed around 25p to 50p range its now virtually impossible to get them for less than a £5 note. On their own they have been a great investment

And the threepence by far the most common victoria date

Coins of the year 1887 are really common, just be discerning and not in a rush, I must admit unc and a/unc are harder to find but they are out there don't fall for these con merchants

less than EF

I would love to say many a numismatist would practically kill for a coin like that , don't turn your back if your showing it off . LOL

It really annoys me that the slabbers call the coin a 1/2 p for gods sake its a 1/2 D

currency has gunports as well the big giveaway that they never noticed was the three dots

Does not the fact that these slabbing companies never mentioned this was a proof in their description inspire confidence in their work Answer Yes / No. does not take a genius to work out

Slabbing companies often make many errors from what i have been told, the person paying for the slabbing should make sure the slabbing company knows what they have in their hands the peck number as well , personally I think any slabbing company worth its salt would have a copy of peck and also would refuse to slab a cleaned proof coin as it affects its value a lot , or maybe the slabbing company is just gready😢.

The odds are five to one that Donald Trump will reshape the US constitution and win the presidency for a third time, according to William Hill. The high street bookie has begun taking bets that Mr Trump will once again take the White House in 2028, an outcome that would require a fundamental overhaul of the modern US political system. Presidents have been bound to serving no more than two four-year terms under the Twenty-Second Amendment of the Constitution, which was brought into force in 1951. However, Mr Trump has repeatedly joked about running a third time, telling his supporters last November: “I suspect I won’t be running again unless you say ‘He’s so good, we have to figure it out’.”

I am sure he's looking to issue a trump coin for his third term.

I would be very surprised if he does not have his eye on repealing the law that says you cannot be presedent more than twice

So six years ago the pound was near parity with the dollar an extreme right wing conservative government had taken over and the queen had just died Now we have a much more left leaning government the pound is getting on for $1.50 to the dollar and everyone is predicting doom and disaster prob because america is the only country that can guarantee its oil supply. A strange world we live in indeed

super pics !

you must have great eyesight paddy

By the way , its a nice coin well struck and atractive

that would go back into the melting pot as a badly struck coin if the mint were doing their job right

It might make it easy if you have a copy of peck does look like a raised dot on georges shoulder if that helps

It has a tiny A+M on the bottom rev exergue which means its a joint effort between Allan and Moore
