Love the portrait

Police are even entitled to confinscate thier assets under the proceeds of crime act if they think they were obtained via this crime

George i farthings are dificult in nice grades

Sounds like the big loser in all of this might be the farmer on whos land the coins were found

They will be getting something else very stiff soon no doubt

"special striking" might be a better term

Viking hoards are quite rare

The number of cheap b&b s I have stoped in where the hosts eyes light up when you present cash ........

If there is any left

I really thought most dealers hated dealing with people selling a few 2016 peter rabbit coins and wanting a tenner each for then. You seem to one of the few thats embraced dealing in decimals .

I would imagine there are around 100,000 serious collectors of decimal coins , the rest end up in drawers of people who are vaguely interested or might have found a couple of interesting coins in their change. There are more than enough to go round even with a million minted the kew 50p is now I believe highly overhyped , only my opinion though

Most in the early seventies were really good 73-74-75- when you look back on it the mag died a really sad and lonely death didn't it

yes very similar to a lot of "To hanover" tokens and "Model half soves"

Trick of the light A's are clearly bared

proofs or patterns prob exist

If you want a free entry ticket for bloomsbury drop me a line with you r adress and I will send it in the post saves £5

I can just see the Daily Mail headline now "Evil parents squirel away the nutkins"

So there we have it guys - us oldies will hold them peter rabbits and flopsey bunnies hostage till the kids parents cough up a twenty for their little monters to own our "precious" 50p's

sounds like i was lucky then -

I am a quarter millionare anyway as long as you include the value of my pension .

Judgeing on the low mintages of both the flopsy bunny and peter rabbit coins of 2018 - I will be keeping any I find as a short term investment I have already found a couple in my change and bought a couple at an antques and collectors fair for 75p each , they should be orer a tenner each in a year or so.

Anyone finds a 1887 proff set including gold under a hedge _ ITS MINE!

well many parts of the coin markets have performed in different ways yes . I general early hammered have gone up well and performed well as have later hammered stuart tudor and stuart silver , even taking into account all the metal detecting finds there have been , admitedly most have been soaked up by museums. The mainstay of coin collecting has to be milled from 1662- 1787 and also the later machine made coins ie george III onward , this is what the heart of many coin collections is. Copper and silver has to the norm as well as gold has priced all but the most wealthy collectors out (A monarch run in sovs or halfs is while expensive is acheavable.

It could have been used as an entry to a factory or mine chitty - these coins would have been easy available at minimal cost in the 1860 onward - they could have stood at the entrance to a factory -mine -etc and the person who initals were on it would take it when he started work . It would be easy to work out who exactly was there if an accident happened . All the coins have initials on them so even a very casual workforce would be easy everyone was given a coin after being inerviewed The coins would stand in a rack at the entrance to the works possably guarded by another person who would also enter them into a ledger for payment purposes .
