copper123

Florins and shillings were only slowly taken out of circulation - if you found a cash register from say 1976 around 60% of the silver in it would be pre-decimal , in 1986 prob around 45% would be old money and in 1990 it would be 35% . Copper was taken out very quickly and you never saw any after around 1973.

Maybe theres a fish -preservation -society and they wat to get their own back

Portrait looks just too good with the details of the lettering much worse . If nobody else comments on it I am wrong . Funny enough you never see any coins in this grade so to find one u are immediately warry of it .

Not my speciality, really, but anyone else out there think theres been tooling on that obverse?

Proof they exist - this one charges $12 a pic or $8 for a selfie - well hes got to live somehow hasn't he?

Maybe its an Abominable rarity?

Or maybe a figment of my imagination

I presume by this you all think a 1865/2 farthing with a small 8 is a monsterous rarity

Title sez it all , anyone out there got one , would love a pic if you have one.

One of mine common but nice looks like it might be from the same engraver , note the R 😊😊😊

At one time around 1790 small change was often given by weight very few legal coins were in circulation

This time the puffy lips and the thin britannia. You would think a gram underweight was nothing , why not make it a five gram fake . Might as well be hung for a sheep and not a lamb

The rather weird shield is a real givaway - its a contemp fake

looks to have been polished off to me

I did that as well - horified to see price of kews now.......😥😥

Nothing like a kraut trying to keep his job and pension by changing his name . Victoria did the same didn't she , probably to upset her mother , they had a strange relationship those two

Was just brousing the bay the other day and I came across what seems to be a peck 821 (1721/0) , its from the same dies as the one that I have in my collection as it has a v over v in georgivs. It's not been seen by the seller just take a look its only got a day or so to run, seller has missed it due to it not being that clear . It is a rare coin though I suspect a couple of people might have spotted it anyway. Item number 332795576612 just in case anyones interested - I would grade as near fine

About £2.50 , you really will not get rich off that

Anyone know where you can get the mintages of the modern decimal IOM coins please? It does at least give you the idea of whats rare and whats not

a non existant pattern

I once did a Photoshop mock up to show how Boehme's portrait would have looked without a crown:Boehmes portrait was one of her daughters ideas Victoria was badly advised to use it by the said daughters , but when Victoria makes up her mind there is little in this world that will make here change it. Must admit it looks better without the crown

he eats raw fish , i hear. Deffo does not play for england though . Oh he's also got a strange ring obssesion

who is gollum?

Mules are stubborn but not as stubborn as humans see above for details of how stubborn humans are ! They even argue over mules

I found this recent story in the press funny
