    Hello all,

    with this coin I have held back with showing, its in much better condition and have always question if its a copy?   

    this I believe to be 40 Pence Scotland Charles I 1625-49, XL 3rd coinage ? another thing that whilst I looked in to the service of this coin  Falconers and Briots I've seen mentioned but still need to know more, is this mint related? please advise.

    again I think it was a boot fair around the 90's it was a mixed of 1950's and foreign coinage, so not a big purchase........... maybe as much as 50p.

     

    please do have a look and see what you think, many thanks "H"

  2. Its quite a common thing to put a mixed lot on ebay mostly rubbish with a gothic crown fake, or Edward Viii penny in a prominent position to tempt the unwary - no surprise its happening in car boots now as well .

    They always state "No returns"

  3. You just have to look at the coin to see it's not been hammered ,its totally centred just like hammered coins never are, the details are to sharp and there are no week spots on hammering - unlike any genuine hammered coin..

  4. I bought one of these when it came out in 2019 wish i had bought more its gone up from being sold for a fiver to now selling for £30 +

    Does anyone think its a good time to sell or should I wait a couple more years as it seems to just be going one way , I have dreadful timing on modern new issues  so maybe i should just keep it- ahh well at least I have one

    Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has called for people to keep an eye out for "lorryloads of posh cheese" being sold "for cheap", after more than 22 tonnes of cheddar were stolen from London cheese specialist Neal’s Yard Dairy.

    Fraudsters posing as legitimate wholesalers for a major French retailer were sent the 950 clothbound cheeses, which are worth more than £300,000, before it was realised they were a fake firm.

    In a post on Instagram, Oliver told his followers: "There has been a great cheese robbery. Some of the best cheddar cheese in the world has been stolen."

    He described it as a "real shame", adding: "If anyone hears anything about posh cheese going for cheap, it's probably some wrong'uns."

    COULD BE MICE!

    Apologies if this is the wrong place to. I have been occasionally finding damaged tickets but hadn't realised that they might be useful in tracing which collections / auctions coins have been in. 

    Sadly in the absence of tickets I think all I have which are remotely related are: a "modern" sealed Spink envelope (probably contains a penny); a Baldwin's envelope with a holed "to Hanover" token; and a I what might be a pre decimal envelope with an 187 Farthing in it.

    If I find any tickets that have a number / surname on I will share them

    That 1875 no H farthing is probably only worth about £8 -£12 depending on the variety a really poor return on cash over probably the last 55 years

  7. If this has happened in the mint in bags , in transportation to a bank for example or during storage in a bank or at any other time its impossable to say, the only thing you can say for certain is the coin would be worth much more without it
