    will try the olive oil first - any surgestions on how long for?
  2. copper123
    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

    It needs a clean sum heavy encrustation on there but well worth £3

    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

    looks like gvf to me

    1888 is a scarcer date farthing in that grade but 1886 is very common due to a high mintage and a hoard found a few years back

    there was a pile of bu***rap in the press the other day saying that along with the kew gardens 50p these coins are rare and worth £15 Dont belive the hype you should try a few coin dealers first to find out their worth , i will give you a clue its somewhere between 49p and 51p

    The 2000 penny coin is in fact more common with a billion minted

    darn it maths was never my fav subect By the way valueing this stash at £1.50 each is to say the least a bit overoptimistic , probably about one in 100 sell at that price so it might take many years and lots of effot to sell them all individually

    5 X 240 is not as you have worked out 1000 but a larger sum 1200
  16. copper123
    yes luv the massive ones for 2000+ coins , bet they would take some filling up
  17. copper123
    that 1845 large date farthing in the sale looks yummy and will fetch well over estimate
  18. copper123
    more that 1000 slabbed coins is enough for the uk at least IMHO

    Remember if they are hand made they have to be worked on by a human - there was no minemum wage in 1972 - there is now , also a lot of the costs savings made through mass manufactureing might not apply to these cabinets . Wood and other costs also might apply

    Yes but it took me three seconds to know it was not a mule , so like i said pointless ,my favorite early evening quiz show
  22. copper123
    OMG you actually counted the beads on the obverse totally pointless , I honestly dont know how anyone has that much patience LOL
  23. copper123
    Popularity is the main thing that ensures a coin is worth a tidy sum , you could have a unique coin but it would be worth diddly-squat if no-one wanted it thus increadably rare halfpenny like the DEI GRATIA 1695 halfpenny is only worth what a cheap secondhand car is worth , yet a edward VIII sovereign is a compleatly different kettle of fish
  24. copper123
    While interesting this sort of variety is neither sort after or particularly valueable , they can easy be picked up for the price of a regular coin
  25. copper123
    the only alternatives are quite dear - the coin boxes have appeared in lidl in late november / dec for the last 5 years or so . I am pretty sure they will again
