  1. It contains the raw numbers of each variety found (though obverses 2 and 3 in the book are swapped from the current book). Definitely worth getting a copy.
  2. Is the number of beads on both reverses the same?
  3. Sorry for the lat reply but it looks okay to me - the fishtailing on the AB of ELIZABETH is an indicator of a genuine clip I think.
  4. In those pictures the surface looks like the surface of a lightly cleaned bronze coin - cleaning seems to give bronze a pickled appearance.
  5. I's say they're both gFine, the 1946 cleaned. I don't collect or know much about brass threepences so can't say much more.
  6. I can't quite make out the second one but is it even worth faking?
  7. Post a link and the content itself here I think.
  8. Seems vaguely reminiscent of The Rare Coin Company in Australia which invested money in coins for you: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-07-11/rare-coin-collapse-feature/4815042
  9. Yes - especially with my British collection - 20 pennies down, what, another 250 to go?
  10. Looks like their site is down at the moment.
  11. Does anyone besides Great Britain (and I suppose some of the dependencies) use it at the moment?
  12. I'd look further afield - I started collecting Australian coins but there are plenty of other interesting Commonwealth things to collect and I've found it hard to stay focused. I like to collect coins and part of that is acquiring new coins. Gosh I didn't realise it was that many - I guess that includes all the gold mintmarks and varieties?
  13. Interesting attempt at the portrait of the Queen.
  14. So it's a British threepence on a thin flan?
  15. Agreed - I actually had some luck with the Royal Mint a few years ago and found out there was an authorised mintage of 50,000 for 1983 Cook Islands sets but only maybe a tenth of that actually ended up being produced.
  16. Mr T

    1908 penny

    I think V. R. Court found six so while they're rare, I don't think they're that rare.

    Out of curiosity is there a problem with the one on ebay at the moment?
  18. I counted and reverses E, F and G all the same number of denticles (144 for the curious).
  19. I've been collecting since 1999 but I think probably half of that time was spent collecting pretty passively.
  20. When did it last sell?
  21. Sometime told about a site that is setting out to do this: http://onlinecoin.club/ See the info on the New Zealand 1933 sixpence for example (at the bottom): http://onlinecoin.club/Coins/Country/New_Zealand/Sixpence_1933/ Unfortunately nothing on British sixpences.
  22. No, but it is a good read. I've seen it on ebay twice in the last few years at around £50-£60 mark.
  23. Okay, disregard http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/10467-problem-posting/ - apparently the forum has issues with me posting what looks like command line stuff.
  24. Happened again this week (Wednesday night I think). Here's the result of pinging the site. Pinging predecimal.com [109.74.245.158] with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out. Request timed out.
