  1. You can , just wait till this next monday
  2. Aparently the old pounds only have another week in circulation - I dont realy know about anywhere else but around here I would say at least two out of ten circulateing coins are round pounds . I can see this date being put back early in the week. Banks have no real interest in taking the coins out of circulation because they are not being paid for it
  3. much scarcer than most believe though it suffers from the lack of halfpenny collectors IMHO Stop after date more common on the farthings
  4. Yep worth scrap silver price now
  5. 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 .
  6. The edward VII florin Victoria crown 1887 A copper penny victoria A bronze penny bun head George V florin
  7. sounds more like a porcupine than a hedgehog then - they are pretty harmless
  8. sounds like it was a good guess then
  9. I would say yes - its not a melt coin but collectable Its also worth £20 or less so dont start planning retirement just yet
  10. I would lay money on the seller working in a sushi bar or chinese resturant not that I like to categorise people
  11. yes but like that fiver that fetched £60 000 Will he pay up?
  12. 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
  13. Republican coin in the uk - sounds pretty unlikely
  14. 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
  15. That coin is a real minger
  16. Its a good likeness but the lips spoil it I am sure they are what should be altered
  17. I think its legal for the penny squashing macines you find in various tourist places like eastboure
  18. It used to be illegal to do than
  19. I presume the egg is uneatable afterwards
  20. a secretary as I recall, whose name was Ms. E. Lastick. Peckris likes this KNICKERS
  21. If I remember rightly Graham norton featured a Dr E . Ville on his show
