Halfpenny ID check
Mr T replied to mrbadexample's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Not sure - maybe the Royal Mint annual reports (now on their website and searchable) give some figures? -
I don't have many proofs but I think I have most of them in flips. I haven't checked them lately though.
-
Surely if it was an intentional fabrication there would be more out there and someone would be cashing.
-
Ah thanks - and which obverse is it?

Royal Mint Holding Auctions Asking For Consignments?
Mr T replied to VickySilver's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
What year was that? The Royal Australian Mint sold off a bunch of its collection (1987 or so onwards) including some rare patterns. Bit of a shame I thought, even if it was good that a few things saw the light of day. -
"onc" tenth florins
Mr T replied to david.bordeaux's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Trick of the light but the c and e look different - like the top bar is shorter on the c. -
Recommended website/reading?
Mr T replied to Kipster's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Freeman is the only place I know of for bronze farthings. -
Do you have pictures of the coin in its entirety?
-
No, this is the first I've heard of this and while I don't collect decimals myself, I do keep an eye on this forum.
-
Freeman 5 is Peck 4 for farthings (and Freeman 6 is Peck 5 - the three berries obverse).

1911 1/2d A+b unlisted by Freeman
Mr T replied to Gary D's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Yeah no mix-ups on the 1925 by the looks of it. -
Coin prices continue to rise
Mr T replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Ah yes: https://www.noble.com.au/auctions/lot?id=450605 Thank you. -
1911 1/2d A+b unlisted by Freeman
Mr T replied to Gary D's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
What are the Groom numbers for the reverses? I have 157 and 163 denticles for the obverses but I think the different reverses have the same number of denticles. -
Coin prices continue to rise
Mr T replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Many thanks. Unhelpfully listed under the sixpences of 1880! -
That's quite nice - good call out to their heritage.
-
The Royal Mint have done coloured coins before haven't they? Or is this pad-printed rather than painted?

Is the 1839 proof sixpence with obverse 6 mentioned in any books? -
Seems to be - buyers fees and sellers fees together are now standard, though I have seen some auction houses pay you for the big ticket lots as VickySilver said.

Message sent. I don't think I was able to get an answer on obverse 11* though. My 2c (or 2p) is it's the same obverse - the descriptions seem to be contradictory at times and manual touch-ups to some working dies seems like a reasonable explanation. -
https://www.ramint.gov.au/circulating-coins shows the current Australian designs - they're not the classic designs of 100-150 years ago but they have a nice simplicity to them I think.
-
Still in circulation is a tough one - I like Australia and New Zealand's at least, although they've been unchanged for close to 60 years.
-
The images aren't showing for me.

1861 sovereign field find from today.
Mr T replied to Gaz T's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Nice find! From the first photo I would have said a letter blunder but based on the above photo maybe something just damaged the die? -
1887 Gothic Florin varieties
Mr T replied to david.bordeaux's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
No idea but I'd be interested to know. I think https://www.londoncoins.co.uk/?page=Pastresults&auc=124&searchtype=3&startres=1050 is the Davies collection sale so it's worth looking there.
