  1. Just to start this thread off again heres a little lovely that I picked up at the last York fair (Friday) Have never seen one like this -its the smallest size and has a grained edge , hopefully someone might know a bit about it , its in lovely grade and I jumped at it for £12 , total bargain in this grade I am sure.
  2. Great excuse to break it out and let it free , pretty sure a penny is worth much more than a halfpenny anyway
  3. Looks like its been cleaned as well if its a farthing
  4. Well by 1965 or so only 2% or %3 of bronze pennies were victorian bun pennies so it really must have been a long slog.
  5. Sorry i got what you said wrong - I understand it now - but just think of all those 1967 pennies - yuk ......
  6. I have done banking for a shop and I assure you every day you have to bank every coin from the penny to the two pound coins if someone had come into my shop and asked me to sort out say all the bronze coins till 1992 and offered me no financial reward they would have been laughed out of the shop , its basically a pain. Of course it was pretty handy for myself when the undated 20ps and kews were circulating
  7. Not really they would have plenty other coins beside pennies what about the shilling ,sixpence &threepence coins and halfpennies they would still have to sort the Victorian bun pennies for Mr freeman and receive no monetary reward
  8. Seems unlikely that the bus station would go to all that bother then sell them at zero profit --- come on would you do it????
  9. Bet they would not like scotland
  10. there's a test for that
  11. Bah , any excuse for late delivery. Waste of a penny if you ask me
  12. Seems right it should at least end up owned by a south American country instead of the Spanish
  13. A bit like pissing in the wind , makes you feel good but leaves you totally exasperated
  14. Ebay is an auction - but not very well policed
  15. There was a recoinage about that time so could be poss - a good book on hammered silver should tell you
  16. weight should be enough - prob a common tourist piece
  17. Doubt if he would be giving free postage away now at its price now
  18. relevant on ebay
  19. Super scare halfpenny - should have found it on Halloween
  20. While most gardening stops around this time of year there are still plenty other things you can do dividing hostas pruning and pruning roses, etc. The wonderful time comes in the spring really , I got plenty bulbs in for a great new year
  21. I thought the wood takes two years to dry out
  22. would say looks more like a Greek coin not sure if its genuine though
