If a genuine coin and i cannot see that it's vastly better grade at least near fine

Worth more like $82 while its had little wear the coin appears badly struck and would be difficult to sell in this condition - is this one of the better grading houses in the us or are they "Cowboys"?

That buyer would not be a full shilling methinks

one of the best sketches ever

WOT NO EDINBURGH OR GLASGOW

my god that's a REAL minger

I once found a G over G farthing in GVF grade for £3 beat that (He says expecting this thread to turn into a four yorkshiremen sketch very soon)

Maybe the world will be a better place in the future with Ai Bots putting on ebay listings without the help of humans . Well they could hardly do worse , could they?

Oh yes I forgot James I had sir Walter Raleigh executed after a long spell in the tower of london , bet christopher columbus never got the same thing from the spanish monarchy

"The madness of king george" is probably as good a film as you will find in the end you start feeling quite sorry for him

Like buying natwest with public money then the public being sold it back , just cause some narcissist trashed the whole company

yes he remains the only british king to have published a book and its a pile of rubbish . from what I recall witches were only burned in scotland was it (?) the pendle witches not sure how they died but they did and just because they were were old and without husbands . James did like his art though and is responsible for quite a lot of the royal art collection which is owned by the crown which is you and me by the way through the goverment

Yes there were some really bad plantagenet kings , I must admit I was concentrating on more recent kings as it is easier as the older kings and their legacies fade into the past maybe a get out on my behalf

I have little time for people who claim Charles was murdered (Only my opinion by the way ) While he was beheaded he had many times been asked to plead guilty and say sorry and he would be well looked after , he refused to see common sense and carried on with his ridiculous inalienable right of kings defence . He remains a total prima donna and while George IV was probably the worst king we ever had, Charles runs into second place along with his father in third

well it must be the fault of the conservatives then seeing they have been in power 75% of the time

Obvious catholic - sympathiser or Jacobite. Really cheap for such an old book cannot be many around now

so it does not say "halfpenny " on it like all the rest then? Its a big clue!

Working in the army used to be a last resort job unless you were in public school and could get a job straight away as an officer even up till the first world war veterans were treated dreadfully even if they had medals , few got war pensions from war injuries as they were made very hard to claim and mental illness was rewarded with the workhouse or worse still Bedlam where the public paid a small fee too see the lunatics.. Officers got treated better but not by much.

You can also do this in the uk to some extent though most tend to stick with their final salary plans and company pensions . the best thing to do is make your own business decisions and never bother too much about what someone else considers is an "Investment" this also insures that you really have noone to blame but yourself for picking a turkey.

when all's said and done it's a lovely coin and deserves some consideration lovely study of Victoria

Ok obverse is not nice but reverse is very acceptable

Quite often mintage figures from so long ago are not to be trusted

*American journalist goes to Afghanistan in 2000. Everywhere he goes he sees men walking ten feet in front of women. He asks an Afghani guy about it, the guy responds, "this is our culture, where men are superior to women, and that is why they must walk behind us." Journalist shrugs and goes back to US. Five years later, in 2005, same journalist goes back to Afghanistan. Everywhere he goes he now sees women walking ten feet IN FRONT of men. Journalist gets really excited, goes to talk to an Afghani guy. "This is an amazing cultural shift, and step toward gender equality!" journalist says. "What prompted this change?" Afghani guy shrugs. "Landmines"

I suppose you have to be pleased he got the monarch right . LOL

Does not even have the right date it says 1905 on the obverse - takes a lot to get the date wrong on a coin
