Radcliffe greater manchester not sale i am afraid

Wind and wuthering, genesis, a band at the peak of creativity and not a bad track on it with many tracks anyone would die to have written

yes (the band) albums were pretty arty but they slowly went downhill after the yes album anyways as regards the music , or maybe it just got too complicated for my small brain.

Echos is one of the best pink floyd songs ever

"pink floyd?"

she was a barmaid yes

I once heard about a girl who has her thrupennies tattooed one had "mild" and the other "bitter" round the nips - she had a bit of a reputation if you know what i mean

yes and Ann Robinson accused him of killing shep - the evil bitch. And it was purvis I think all the pervs were on top of the pops after legs and co - or maybe something a bit younger

whatever its made of i recon it would be better off as scrap

superb just superb

I see a much superior mule farthing has appeared for sale on ebay at the same price as the platt coin .Strange thing is even though it is considerably nicer it has less than six watchers and the platt coin had around 24 at the last time i looked. How can this be the guy has no reputation at all, except for selling overpriced, cleaned rubbish. You coin collectors are a strange lot. Or maybe it is being watched by you lot on here looking for shilliing evidence

Who would clean a proof set ? there were some right numpties around in the past wern't there ! Country cottage interiors ?- more Like cunrtycottagecleanedcoins

I see the mule farthing has decreased in price , at this rate it should fetch the £150 or so it is worth by the time christmas comes along

you are of course very, very right many many more wreath crowns got wear from being pocket pieces than through circulation. Have you though that they maybe were kept for a time and then passed on (spent) and the next person that got hold of it maybe used it as a pocket piece as well after being showed it as a curio by a shopkeeper

But surely a sixty year old sweet shop owner in say 1930 would remember well that a crown was the size of a wreath crown and also be well versed in recognising a coin that is made of 50% silver and not made for use overseas. I have seen many many 1935 and 1937 crowns with lots of circulation wear

Or even a broke adult - remember this country has always gone boom - bust forget what gordon brown said about abolishing it - it still happens

Oh and by the way I have accepted £5 coins as payment where i work , as i know they are legal tender - they really don't appear that often probably less than once a year unlike those pesky scottish £5 and £10 notes

I really find it strange that people on here will not believe that a wreath crown might circulate, while the mintage on these coins is really low you have to remember the 1930's were lean times for many, and just as the worldwide economic upturn came along world war II started. A crown in the mid nineteen thirties was an item was an item of considerable value . Remember many of these crowns were left at the bottom of a drawer just gathering dust , many young children must have come across them while "hunting for treasure" and some when they found the coin would have taken it straight down to the local sweet shop and spent it. While it would not be the norm for it to circulate , I am sure a few did.

Ah yes and John welsh has been hawking total rubbish and selling it for good money for 40 years or so a crying shame. Lets hope martin ain't around as long.

Did not a Bury mp go to prison for fraud , really we should vote martin Platt MP for bury. I think you are very generous gradeing the platt mule GVF or vf - I am sure its not that nice. I think i am closer with good fine , or maybe my grading is bit strict.

I see the ex used car salesmans mrs has a mule farthing for sale for £1250 , real bargain that isn't it chaps?

ef easy - very nice

Peter Ireland only died a couple of years ago I think he was in his late sixties - a mear youngster compared to many dealers
