  1. I found a 1862 halfpenny A left to for a fiver well cleaned got £100 for it , dealer looked at me like I was mad giving him £5 for it
  2. I found a 1862 penny with a 6 over 8 in the birmingham fair recently and bought it for 20p and sold it for £320 beat that lol
  3. It' s quite a good bet that most serious sovereign collectors are quite well heeled
  4. I presume this coin comes with another that says "Except islamic oil rich dictatorships that murder their own subjects"
  5. I am just gobsmacked that it could have had so many different dates on it
  6. Crowns from the sixties and seventies were seen as curios and often ended up in shop tills for a long time before being banked . I worked in a shop for about seven or so years from 2008 to 2015 and while not common i did have a few of the pre 1997 two pound coins and also five pound pieces pass through the tills - as i know they were oficially legal tender I accepted them .
  7. They were a pain as in the size of the darn things I mean , like modern cartwheels
  8. this proves crowns circulated doesn'nt it
  9. Quite a few 1972 and 1977 crowns went into circulation
  10. Hard to find in mint state - I presume because it was a lot of money to put aside in 1893 a crown is easy funny enough though its around £150
  11. They tend to be sold first by a collector at they are so valueable . They were easy to trade in quickly for ready cash , its all churn , churn,churn
  12. All maundy coins are legal tender and every date has a much lower mintage than the kew gardens 50p
  13. Maybe misleading the public would be a more true statement .
  14. A 1934 crown has appeared very worn as well.................I personally think these circulated , others think differently , it could have been a pocket piece as well I surpose
  15. I do believe that the 1954 penny is the rarest coin to have ever circulated ,it along with the 1952 halfcrown both were found in circulation both are one of a kind and the kew gardens coin while pretty scarce I must admit 210, 000 is quite a lot , its just the media love making things up
  16. I remember selling a couple of kews for less than a tenner- I must admit I dont think they are worth much more than £30 each even with all the hype. Trouble is everyone seems to just follow everything that is written in the media and accept it as the truth . They will start believeing that the EEC have banned bent bannanas next
  17. If it were an american coin of similar rarity it would be worth 2 million dollars
  18. What about the 1954 penny or 19542halfcrown are they not rare ? Very interesting artical though
  19. I love the way it says on ebay simillar items sold for £1-£2 when he has that outrageous tag on it
  20. Getting more like this by the day as they turn into weeks and months
  21. The policy of giving 60 - 66 year old women £40,000 - £20,000 compensation for having to work an extra 5 years was bonkers and also in effect sexual discrumination - wheres the compensation for me having tio work the same ? It would also have had an unbelieveable cost thousands of billions
  22. I have a poisonous asp
  23. My favorite carry on is cleo but kyber is a close second Infammy -Infammy They've all got it in for me - a classic
