  1. In my opinion its only a good one if VF and above but i have still not come across a nice enough one to call it a keeper - strange thing is there is no example in the colin cooke collection so it might be rarer than I think - depends on what someone will pay for one I surpose.
  2. will put on a scan of my coin next day or so
  3. That pattern penny must be one of the best paterns ever issued for 1860 joseph moore was such a tallent , it must have gone quite close and have been seriously considered as a private pattern - the above silver coin had a lovely tone on it why anyone would want to dip it I just don't know.
  4. Bungle the bear and geofery might like them (Remember rainbow!)
  5. I am constantly surprised by the high prices on ebay fetched by cleaned coins - in my opinion they are worth 1/3 of what a decent uncleaned coin is worth.
  6. Apparantly he wanted thanks for sending the US stock market to record highs ( well yes donald you did do this but only by the realization that there would be a handing over too someone else soon and america would be rid of you). Well not rid of but certainly , but at least you might be able to go full time on those golf courses
  7. Well it was never there in the first place LOL
  8. I also doubted very much it was a 46
  9. Come on paddy its more fun to look at the actual coins in your collection than refer to a spreadsheet - when you are doing that you know your collection is tooooooo big LOL
  10. This shows how challenging a nice collecton of silver threepence coins from Victorias reign can be - not for the faint hearted
  11. Called "King George III " that would be madness
  12. watch the film "The madness of king george" its very good
  13. Mintmarks apart from when they were featured on captured bullion were made redundant 500 years ago when the date was added to coins - what a brill idea that was - wish I had copyrighted it - I would be worth a fortune now , I also would be dead i surpose, LOL
  14. yes you are right I did put george IV and it was a mix up - his father was a totally sound guy apart from the odd bout of mental illness , we have much to thank him for even the RHS
  15. " Features a special George III royal cypher mint mark " maybe it should have been a pack of cards seeing as how he lost so much money at it , his father bailed him out several times. Great britains most hated king, even his father dispaired at him
  16. I am pretty sure there were not many individual dies for 1849 pennies I noticed that as well the only slight flaw in a lovely coin
  17. The only thing is with coins of that value and rarety you will prob never be able to upgrade it ! Still - nice problem to have , LOL
  18. few exist in that grade you are very lucky
  19. Cannot see any difference between the pics , were the later cleans pointless ?
  20. The price shows just how little halfpennies are collected I am afraid - it is however a very interesting coin.Though it's probably 1695 it would have been great to see the date on the coin.
