copper123

I imagine many collectors do not want their address known as they might have another collection of valueable stuff ie Moorecroft , crystal , guns etc . It really is very foolish to potentially let the world know your house is full of lovely stuff to pinch.

Nice tone

Good luck with that ! LOL

It does but really low grade so you would have to convince the buyer it is - good luck!

Give me the boot , LOL

heres a nice Gs over

Well it would be nice if a metal detector was never used for criminal purposes. It would also be great if the same could be said of knives. To be fair 95% of metal detectorists stay on the legal side - this is only a guess but I would guess probably not far out there are ALWAYS non - conformists everywhere where there is money at stake

The point is its illegal to hunt on land WITHOUT permision .

Having a penis means you can be charged with being a potential rapist then>

I think there has to be an agreement with a land owner as well or else the coin detecting is considered theft

I think its more like intent to find a hoard, nobody knows where a hoard is (unless its in a museum)! Or maybe intent to loot finds and not declare them .

Yes its really just a guess as to what actually happened , everyone who might have recorded anything is dead long ago . Very interesting though and just shows the plans of mice and men ............

This interests me as well , you often find farthings and halfpennies and pennies very worn from the mid 1850s to 1859 , I know copper is a lot softer than bronze but really I suspect many coins must have been accepted at face value probably until the late 1870's . I dont think this is an unreasonable thing to the public to do after all these coins had quite a worth of copper in them . I strongly think this might have happened though it might have only been acceptable in the big citties of the time ,London , Birmingham, etc.

This would have been easy if those dark age folks had learned to read and write , how lazy of them

I was expecting a post about barcelona FC from looking at the title

Impressive place have been to a couple of antique and collectors fairs there, and it really is a great place to visit

A-UNC and NEF from me second is in similar grade really but less desireable due to week strike and stains

These five farthings are currently on sale for a bargain £149 pounds for the lot - personally I would not give a fiver for the lot

yuk

Something from china that will make everyone laugh Esp marleybob in a workshop at the moment bending this and trying to make it look old. What a fu king rare coin

The mary rose £2 is another

how about the 2019 10p and its low mintages - not a peep

Strange thing about decimals is that the mass media seem to control the prices of the coins and the market selling price - just the mearest hint that a coin might be a bit valueable can send demand soaring and double the price of a coin overnight . Take the 2015 ship £2 a really low mintage and quite hard to find yet because the mass media have not publicised the coin the coin ,no demand, same with the underground £2 and the sufragette 50p . It seems we live in a society where we are told something is rare by the press and suddenly it is , very strange

Obviously a hot part if china or maybe thats just the curry
