  1. coin number three looks like a george 11 or 111 farthing , the other two are what i would call buttons and even scott would turn his nose up at them.
  2. They were released in late 201o the dailly mail at the time ran a artical on them speculateing they were worth ££££ , what a surprise , they even seemed to have dificulty working out that time only runs in one direction forward ,something I worked out years ago
  3. Got a couple - very pleased

  5. new pic upper g is now clear- just acetone used
  6. funny enough just got a new one off ebay the other day
  7. Any unwanted 1844 farthings with verdigris or not will be welcome at my address
  8. THanks you lot - this might be a labour of love - I hope the end result will be worth it
  9. verdicare ordered today - expensive stuff expensive postage - I hope its worth it !
  10. try the lottery u have a better chance of winning than than finding one of these notes prob about 18 million to one
  11. The enquiry was No decimal just proof stated edward VIII coins ARE MADE BY THE ROYAL MINT AND ARE SILVER they are rare as well
  12. ta peter you are about the best on advice here so verdicare it will be
  13. WOT NO ROYALTIES @ DAILYMAIL>COM GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
  14. I strongly suspect that the gunk on the coin has ment it's gone undetected over all these years , even the dealer missed it . It is in fact probably one of the great rarities of the bronze farthing series - its much rarer than the 1860 mule , and on a par with peck 530 - thats why it goes for silly money in any grade , I am sure only 50-100 exist and most are in well established collections .
  15. TYVM you lot I will hopefully put the coin on later - after treatment - like you lot said most anything you can do will improve the coin
  16. Virgin or extra virgin?
  17. will try the olive oil first - any surgestions on how long for?
  18. worse yes - this might take some time this cleaning project - any surgestions out there ? tried the usual acetone I imagine the sarcastic ones might be "spend more money on a decent coin " LOL
  19. It needs a clean sum heavy encrustation on there but well worth £3
  20. The detail may be great but not the actual history - cliffords tower was actually made of wood circa 1100 not stone as on the token there are reports that it burned down circa 1190 and was rebuilt in stone , therefore the picture on the token is a pure fabrication of the real thing
  21. that is a lovely coin scott - you will have to tell me where you get these bargains in manchester - somehow i suspect you aint tellin though
  22. U bought this quality halfpenny scott ? not like your usual buttons at all.
  23. yet another superb musician from the sixties - seventies dies so sad
