everyone loves a good farting

One of my loves is actually "Numismatic profesionals" who don't know jack shit (to carry on the swearing in this thread) how else am I going to fill those spaces in my collection with the rare varieties at a reasonable cost?

Near vf reverse a bit better

Ahhh , steven and the anarchy - lot more difficult that one. personally i would just try and get a nice steven penny - very hard at the best of times

personaly i would count mary and philip and mary as seperate issues as indeed they are. stick to the groats and get a nice one of each - they are also a good investment as they are a lot rarer than say henry VIII half groats / groats

Vf at the best IMHO

The refund of cash was only £2.500 or so but lloyds had to pay me 8% interest PA and this more than doubled the value of the claim Where do you get 8% interest on your cash these days? never never land Or zimbabwe

Lovely coin - but i must admit i cannot see a trace of lustre. However i have had coins of my own with lustre traces 10% to 25% and it has not shown up on a scaned picture, for some funny reason. I must say the deep chocolate tone is very attractive anyway

Just about to get a PPI refund £5,850 Any surgestions what to do with it!

And coins from slabs as well!!!!!

I hear that acetone is not safe to use on Hysterectomies as well!!!!!

I have tried acetone on cd covers - it has the same effect - totally ruins them. As for totally ruining slabs - i think acetone deserves a gold medal . You now have the perfect reason to set the coin free!

As mongo says these forums provide a wealth of information and help to anyone seriously interested in numismatics. The people that set up the forums are the ones to thank really , they do it more to promote the hobby than to make money and deserve a big THANKS from everyone who uses it. :D :D

This might be worthwhile yes - it should give you a good idea after six months of notes. Remember however you are far more likely to get forgeries in certain places than others - ie pubs , betting shops and the local corner shop , also taxi drivers tend not to check their pounds as well.

Last time I looked Scotland were in the UK. I know the Scots would rather it were different, but there you are.

By the way If you really want loads of forged pound coins just get in touch with me i could sell you 40 a week . i would charge £1 each , i suspect 5% of all pound coins are fake these days

The funny thing is that people actually think that scottish / northern irish notes are legal tender in the uk. Legally you are not bound to accept them just because they say "pounds sterling" on them. Only uk notes are legal tender in the england and wales and if you get someone to accept your "foreign" notes they are actually doing you a favor. Personally I don't like them at all but will accept up to £100 in these notes . The reason? pure and simple , I don't handle them that often and cannot spot a forgery that easy

WOOOW nice coin - would tend to agree with the other posters but 1699 date in Ex is quite hard to find - I would say even with the weak strike you have a £50 coin there

Also does george look just a little too small ? My opinion only ! A bit like a dwarf on a horse really

i like this - BUT the head of George just looks wrong there is no face there and it just looks bad - i am sure it could have been a lot better

A bit of reserch on the net brings up the name fridericus goodwinus. He now insists that it was not from the roman central bank but indeed part of his pension pot fron julius caeser that he just forgot about

Probably an early example of quantitive easing from the roman period - obviously a roman bank manager buried a few stashes from the central bank of rome and forgot where this one was.
