  1. Four for two pounds!!!! YOU WERE ROBBED!!!! Does this not say a lot about the depths the mint will go to to rip people off..... Maybe they should change their name to the London mint office and go the whole hog
  2. You sometimes get a funny look if you ask for metho so I will stick to my good old fashioned acetone, thanks. I discovered it years ago and the only coins i have had any bad results with are the darkened farthings 1897-1917
  3. I know Italy has a reputation for art , I am sure if you look overall over the last hundred years or so Italian coins are really hard to beat , forgeting the euros of course
  4. GVF obv Ef Rev or around that - eye appeal is also important
  5. A rare MM never seen one myself, these charles and james farthings are getting increasingly rare , good job there are still lots in the thames
  6. Not sure if these are even any use as a coaster
  7. Very nice scott , unlike your normal washers
  8. Robinson crusoe???
  9. There was a story in the newspaper today about a man whose wife chopped his penis off TWICE and the second time she threw it away and it was never found , they recon a stray cat or dog ate it
  10. Who buys that rubbish ? Ahhhhh that would be - everyone who just had to have an undated 20p because it will be worth £20 000 by the time they retire Also any customers of the London mint office
  11. She might do better doing a Mrs Richards on the phone and pretending to be deaf
  12. Well she strikes me of loving her customers as much as Sybil Faullty loved finding the builder O'reilly in their hotel Faulty towers
  13. sounds exactly like what M.P. would behave like Maybe they should team up as a pair.
  14. farthings were copied - but to be honest halfpennies were the coin that were concentrated on by most forgers
  15. A bit less than 3 million - sorry but unless its totally unc it's unlikely to get any premium at all even after ten years or so . you might do better putting it in a building society
  16. Lots of english-irish mules walking about in liverpool
  17. Indeed prob about 3/4 of all 1775 halfpennies are forgeries , but most are made in england and most circulated in the uk (that includes scotland and the whole of ireland. many are evasions with blundered legends All are collected though in really low grade they are worth very little
  18. looks like lead to me
  19. thousands on ebay
  20. I always thought the pipes came from northern ireland and the scots just stole the idea
  21. wow lovely grade looks to me to be EF not many about in that grade
