  1. Yep worth scrap silver price now
  2. Strange looking reproduction - it apears worn you would think they might have touched it up a bit (ohhh matron ) before trying to sell these for cash .
  3. The edward VII florin Victoria crown 1887 A copper penny victoria A bronze penny bun head George V florin
  4. sounds more like a porcupine than a hedgehog then - they are pretty harmless
  5. sounds like it was a good guess then
  6. I would say yes - its not a melt coin but collectable Its also worth £20 or less so dont start planning retirement just yet
  7. I would lay money on the seller working in a sushi bar or chinese resturant not that I like to categorise people
  8. yes but like that fiver that fetched £60 000 Will he pay up?
  9. I am currently trying to upgrade my black finish 1897 - you would think it's easy wouldn't you , well its not a quick ssearch on ebay compleated listings gives very few examples and they always fetch around £20 or so you would think with this being the commoner type there would be loads around but theres not . 1901 is still a pretty easy date to find though
  10. Republican coin in the uk - sounds pretty unlikely
  11. My advice would be read as much as you can choose something you really like the look of and just try to build a collection - don't expect to have the best collection in the world after a short time collecting set reasonable goals and just enjoy yourself . popular coins are farthings crowns Halfcrowns pennies shillings And dont forget type sets A great help is living near wakefield/ brum or london for the fairs , otherwise its gonna be the internet or a friendly local dealer Buy numismatic books they are a great investment as well - you usually get your money back selling them
  12. That coin is a real minger
  13. Its a good likeness but the lips spoil it I am sure they are what should be altered
  14. I think its legal for the penny squashing macines you find in various tourist places like eastboure
  15. It used to be illegal to do than
  16. I presume the egg is uneatable afterwards
  17. a secretary as I recall, whose name was Ms. E. Lastick. Peckris likes this KNICKERS
  18. If I remember rightly Graham norton featured a Dr E . Ville on his show
  19. I worked with a bloke called paul hammond bacon once his nickname was piglet
  20. The copper in it might be worth more than a penny
