Prob during the second world war winny was a exception

The pound did hit $1.04 but only for a short period

Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17/MAS17) was a scheduled passenger flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur that was shot down on 17 July 2014, while flying over eastern Ukraine. All 283 passengers and 15 crew were killed. ... Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. Shootdown Passengers 283 Crew 15 Fatalities 298 Survivors 0 Why was Malaysian Airline shot down? Flight MH17 was shot down over Ukraine in July 2014, by what has been determined to be a Russian-made missile launcher fired by Russian-backed rebels. Relatives of the 298 people who died when Malaysian Airlines flight 17 was shot down have accused Russia of lying about its role in the incident.6 Sept 2021 Odds on Russia invading a country on its borders would never have been that high - dont you remember when they poisoned zelinsky with novichok and shot down that passenger plane over ukraine and killed 280 passengers all the time blameing ukraine for it . they have been building up a war chest for a while unfortunately

$1.04 is a bit exact isn't it ? how would you collect the bet ? After all its $1.06 today does that mean you have a losing bet? Or can you collect on the exact day it reaches $1.04 and what happens if thats during the night when the bookies are shut , can you claim even though its gone up and you have not stated the day the pound will reach this low level..? Lots of ifs and buts on this bet

Starting an arms factory and selling to Russia and the middle east would probably be very lucrative

Exactly thats why i said sovs were a better investment the best investment over time from the 1972 -73 era was definately shares

As these were the first pressings they were experimental so different alloys may have been used

The "plastic " set of 1953 was an increadably sucessfull selling over a million if I remember rightly they were issued in post offices at a small premium over face value as a coronation keep sake. Many were broken open in the seventies or even sixties the penny waa always touted as "rare" even though its not most of the higher value coins went back intoi circulation but the bronze remains in large quantities unused. Even today the cheapest way of getting a set is in these plastic wallets

Hey it already shows a healthy premium on its original issue price it has taken 44 years to manage it though you would have done a lot better in sovs

For those who might have a few 1953 plastic sets hanging around or o few 1953 crowns. 1953 pennies are fetching £15 in BU with halfpennies fetching a tenner A nice 1953 crown now fetches abour £6 after being almost unsellable at the start of the year

I would have thought it would be made with sides - do you have any proof its a royal mint product ? There are many enginering places in the uk or abroad that could make what you have .

The main trouble with halfpennies is they were not hoarded as much as pennies so there are relatively few around the victoria halfpennies also suffered from heavy usage and few have even clear dates these days . A good halfpenny collection is even harder to put together than pennies because at least there are still quite a few pennies around , there again there are more varieties in the penny series mostly of 1860 , 1861 and 1862

I really feel sorry for the older and poorer people in ukraine they live from hand to mouth anyway the rich and mobile at least had the option of running away - some of the older ones even remember the nazis in the country in the mid 1940s such a shame that mans infumatitiy to man comes back 70 years later

At a guess freeman looks about right it could easy be 51-100 though after what collectors have said above

what I am pretty sure I will get ......

what i want from a ukrainian refugee

more funnies from a chinese menu

He forgot the straigtened bananas that the EU had in store for us as well - well acording to the sun they did

A real place in hong kong

Nothing wrong with carp fishing....

Like the 1953 plastic set

Dont bet on that a memorial coin prob a £5 to maximise royal mint profits is probably in the planning

So sad .......

Well its well known the population is falling , yes . Mostly out of unbarred windows ........

Oh come on hes not killed 9 000 000 russians yet - give him time
