  1. 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

  2. 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😢.

  3. The odds are five to one thatĀ Donald TrumpĀ will reshape the US constitution and win the presidency for a third time, according to William Hill.

    The high street bookieĀ has begun taking bets thatĀ Mr TrumpĀ 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 aboutĀ running a third time,Ā telling his supporters last November: ā€œI suspect I won’t be running again unless you say ā€˜He’s so good, we have to figure it out’.ā€

  4. 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

    ThatĀ wouldĀ place it around the time of the Great Exhibition of 1851. Fascinating to speculate it may have been struck there toĀ  demonstrate minting machinery, just as the 1951 crown was struck at the Festival of Britain.

    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 laterĀ 

  6. 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 coinĀ 

  7. 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 gradeĀ
