You can find loads of lovely token halfpennies for £10 or £15 I would not spend less than this as you are likely to get just common low grade coins for £5 or less.
They really are a great field to start collecting
-
Near VF bordering vf with a couple of minor problems.
Slightly scarcer date so I would say about £10
-
To be honest it's to too low a grade to be sure its a no stops obverse coin , i think you will struggle to get more than double what an ord 1718 would fetch in that grade - most variety collectors want higher grade coins than that
-
Funny enough the norther Ireland £2 coin always seems much much harder to find than its 500, 000 or so mintage suggests - all the others (Scottish ,English , etc), are relatively easy and can be picked up for less than a tenner.
-
I saw a Led Zep ticket from 1970 fetch over £500 on ebay , 50p was the face value.
Pretty good investment eh!!!
-
I saw ian dury in manchester free trade hall in 1978 totally brilliant
-
I remember the prices of the tickets as well £3.50 to see queen £3 to see thin lizzy £5.50 the who.
Wish them prices would come back you can stick a 0 on the end of any of them to see them now.
Plus the cost of actually giging have in real terms actually come down , the instruments they play ect
-
I don't remember the who doing any gigs in 1978 , had they not just had the death of keith to put up with ?
If they did any gigs that year it was only one or two in london with kenny jones
-
Yes the Manchester museum coin collection is quite underrated - its well worth a look , I think there are quite a few items from the BM there on loan as well .
-
I know what the royal mint should produce
A Yaya toure birthday £5 coin .
That should sell at least 100 pieces mostly to the city team and yayas family
-
Now , now ,don't be bitchy.
Numismatics is a broad church.
And yes there are , but they are both of similar rarity unlike 1722
-
1934 crowns and northumberland shillings are best left to the experts
-
yes that is a small 9 farthing scott.
pity about the grade though you would struggle to get a £5 note for it
-
die break
-
yep somewhere to deposit those Churchill crowns
-
Pluming the depths there (Royal mint ) 50th anniversary of the death of Churchill , there will be a 150 year celebration of the invention of water closet £5 coin next
-
It is rare in ANY grade thus £85 fine £350 VF and £800 in EF sound about right
Unc if you ever find one would be £2000
-
I agree you should not lose anything on these two coins
-
Well the Soho mint coins were the first of a new era so it is a good thing they are a great design.
I must admit I love the cartwheels which are sadly missing in the 1797 format of halfpennies and farthings.
There again there are the patterns of the farthing and halfpenny and the restrikes i surpose
-
yes , Q.C went a bit out of the window in william the thirds time partly to do with the great recoinage of all the old hammered silver.
This put loads of strain on the mint and various unqualified folks at the mint were given a job to do and little time to finish it as well , resulting in loads of interesting little mistakes , and lots of fun for us collecting them 310 years on.
One of the best and most common of these is the 1701 halfpenny with the gigantic O a really belter
Things did get better under George the first and in fact the coins of Anne (the farthings ) in particular are stunningly well made with really attractive designs which hinted of the greatness to come in the 19th cent
-
The 1717 farthing i would say is worth around £70 so it is not really a pocket money item , in fact after my 30 or so years coin collecting it is still missing from my collection , so you have a least one person on here who feels jealous.
The 1719 coin really is a £10 or £15 item, the small 9 is in fact normal
-
yes very true they must have worn out pockets really fast and as we have no coin of that size now i am sure they were not popular with the public.
I do guess that as they were the only thing to use between the gold and the florin or halfcrown they were grudgingly accepted by the public who would at least not have been worried that they had lost a high value coin if they had a couple of crowns instead of a gold half sov.
-
Cartwheels seems to be on the right track , though i would doubt most crowns circulated much after 1914 , i suspect the silver would have been put towards the war effort.
Remember though as they became more scarce more would be taken out of circulation so this would just feed on itself till they all disappeared very quick

1954 penny for me - cannot be beat
spot the expensive mistake
in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
