More Pennies

[More Pennies]

TBH most buns had disappeared by 1968 - 69 probably many more were around in the mid sixties but then they were in terrible grade I  bought a mint bag weighing quite a few kilos from e ebay about a year back and found 2 1869 coins which corroborates the sellers story that they were unsearched

Shame a few of the more common ones cannot be owned by collectors

Not to mention being spent in shops and returning to the bank

Apologies if this is the wrong place to. I have been occasionally finding damaged tickets but hadn't realised that they might be useful in tracing which collections / auctions coins have been in. 

Sadly in the absence of tickets I think all I have which are remotely related are: a "modern" sealed Spink envelope (probably contains a penny); a Baldwin's envelope with a holed "to Hanover" token; and a I what might be a pre decimal envelope with an 187 Farthing in it.

If I find any tickets that have a number / surname on I will share them

That 1875 no H farthing is probably only worth about £8 -£12 depending on the variety a really poor return on cash over probably the last 55 years

[Mint Damage ?]

pity its a nice coin but for that

[Canadian needs help on 2 pence]

Valued as £0.02 from over here in the uk , you might get lucky and get £0.05 for it 

[Mint Damage ?]

If this has happened in the mint in bags , in transportation to a bank for example or during storage in a bank or at any other time its impossable to say, the only thing you can say for certain is the coin would be worth much more without it

this was way out of the ordinary. .. one item had estimate £200 - £260. As I liked it a lot I bid the high £260 (+1). .. it went for £4,200 ... and that was pretty much typical!

sounds like the owner or his estate had a good day

No harm in hoping m8 after all every coin has a hi bidder

Thanks Paddy. I agree, I now think it is just an H. There is a lump of verdigris half on this feature and it appeared to be a 2. I am a metal detectorist so don't dig many collectable condition coins. These bronze coins sometimes come up in lovely condition with beautiful green, brown and almost black patinas depending on the chemicals that have been added to the soil over the years. Others come up in horrible condition. I have dug Roman, Edward hammered pennies, a James I sixpence and even a New England, Masachussets Pine Tree 3d in poor condition.

Wonder how that got here - the mind boggles

"Scott" is reference to another member here who has a particular affinity with metal-detectorist coins!

As for cleaning - be very careful and don't use anything abrasive or corrosive. One technique is to soak in clean water and then put in the deep freeze. Wash off and repeat several times. With luck this will split off some of the Verdigris and crud without damaging the underlying metal.

 

You forgot the pray to god bit LOL

Looks like a "Scott " coin to me

I am very new to collecting and I have a question about the $10 British Virgin Islands 1900 - 2000 coin issued in 2000 1 oz silver coin.

The only examples I can find online have no gem insert and I'd like to know how rare or valuable the coin is. So does anyone here know where I can find such information.

...

I also have a £2 South Georgia & south sandwich islands 2000 1 oz silver coin which has the crown crest and celebrates the queen mothers 100th Birthday. It also has a small gem insert.

I paid how much for that horse and its still not won anything!!!
