He might have acess to the british museum collection or the queens collection , you dont know LOL

Is that the brian dawson from bolton - I remember him well from the seventies . He is prob in his nineties now

I agree , many are oftem found clipped and this coin has missed that dubious pleasure

I would imagine any details about these are lost in the mists of time

1860 TB farthings often show a week strike, they still suffered with similar probs till about 1872 when they started to produce a better end product , although there was a steady improvement from 1860 onwards. The major problem was the beaded border and the relative hardness of the bronze coupled with the size of the farthing , steady progress was made for 12 years or so . Pennies and halfpence seemed to suffer less .

Tribbles might figure on a star trek inspired 50p

Teenagers will be glad to know that

Is it obvious what metal this coin is it does not look like silver , could it be pewter and toned over the years before it was found? Looks a bit like cast pewter which puts it in very dodgy ground

Up north we have a cure for pesky rabbits ,it's called a ferret , and it works every time

FROM THE GRAVE SEZ STEPHEN - I WANT MY BLOODY ROYALTIES NOW , NO MORE EXCUSES YOU LOT AT THE MINT

Like all concert tickets then .........

Notice this myself he often gets double or treble what a coins worth I wonder if some shilling is going on

Like the 1739 , 1746 and 1749 as well first two are fairly common the 1749 is a bit scarcer - nice chocolate tones as well on those three.

Difficult when most are on dreadful cast blanks

Try finding a 1862 fat eight farthing for your collection paddy - thats a hard one to find

I would really like to own that 1721. farthing its a lot better than the one in my collection

The 1721 farthing with a dot is not as rare as the 1721/0 but I would hazard a guess at 10 out of 100 random coins of this date would be about right the 1721/0 is probably about 4 in a 100

I was not just that, with the industial devestation in the north a but of luck was needed as well - I was very lucky I sailed though the major and thatcher years and only claimed a weeks unemployment benefit admitedly I was never on good wages but I was gainfully employed as they say

well lets hope the earth never comes in contact with a black hole

Any coin featureing steven hawkins has got to be out of this world

If it is a fake it would certainly be accepted by 99% of the population

MMMMMmmmmm yes the mouth and eyes dont seem right as welll , it is a posabillity

I found this 2015 £2 coin in my change the other day , to be honest it looks like a proof or at least an ex set or something , the thing that made me check it twice was the prooflike appearence , it just seemed interesting . After checking out the coin I suddenly realised it has no "STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS" on the edge this is really dificult to picture but trust me there is just the normal reeded edge and no sign of the letters which appear on all £2 coins 1998-2015 to the best of my (little) knowledge.
