    Probably a fine investment home for your cash over the last 30 years as well , few coins have increased as much as say tudor mammered asp the choice high grade examples...

    Did you find that at birmingham ? If so I am glad I picked the Elizabeth I three farthing coin in that £5 tray it was by far the best thing in there I found it at about 11 am

    Thieves stole a £2.8m solid gold toilet from Blenheim Palace in an "audacious raid" which took just five minutes, a court has heard. The toilet was plumbed in and fully functioning as part of an art exhibition at the Oxfordshire stately home in September 2019. Michael Jones, 39, from Divinity Road, Oxford denies a charge of burglary. Frederick Sines, 36, also known as Frederick Doe, from Windsor, and 41-year-old Bora Guccuk, from west London, have pleaded not guilty to conspiring to transfer criminal property. Their trial at Oxford Crown Court was told the toilet was most likely broken up and was never recovered. police said they had nothing to go on

    This would occur on george V silver wouldn't it, it's an absolute nightmare for grading, I suppose with only a couple of points between them the graders have not really done a bad job really few coin series have as many problems as the one shown

    Wow some lovely coins there seldom seen like that and the 1897 set is a lot rarer than many think esp in top grade - some lovely lauers in there

    I am afraid the cost in time and verdicare would probably be more than the coin is worth , leave it how it is ......

    yes that was the navy only and was used in the 1790's when there was a distinct shortage of silver in circulation trouble was the navy ended up mainly staffed by tramps and drunkards

    Just as a matter of interest an ord soldiers pay was around a shilling a day which meant a days pay was four of these little coins . Few soldiers took their full pay with most signing it over to their mother to save up for them when they came home

    Many old soldiers were upset by the way medals were given out for the first world war and it was quite common for the ord pvt class soldiers to put them down a grid or throw them in the rubbish as many had seen their comrades killed heads blown off, guts all over the floor etc and many more suffered from PTSD which was often punished by putting them in front of a fireing squad thus leading to more PTSD from other ord soldiers, we behave a little better now thank god. Many wanted little to do with the armed forces again and just threw themselves into family life , many never mentioned the war and just clammed up when it was mentioned. The officer class was treated a lot better

    Reverse looks great but a nice obverse is what people want , I would also say £20 tops . By the way its not a 12p coin
