    Yes coin collecting has seen a rise in my opinion but for the decimal stuff more so.
  2. Mr T
    I'm surprised it wasn't at the time (or maybe it was - I can't remember when I started subscribing).
  3. Mr T
    Hm, working now. The noses do look a bit different for sure.
  4. Mr T
    Are those links not loading for anyone else at the moment?
  5. Mr T
    Interesting, I remember seeing a 1966 Australian specimen set offered for sale and it was reportedly from the Pretoria Mint collection - no other details though.
  6. Mr T
    Ah yes, just the one obverse for the wreath sixpence in 1887 which I guess will be I of BRITT to gap.
  7. Mr T
    Not sure - maybe the Royal Mint annual reports (now on their website and searchable) give some figures?
  8. Mr T
    I don't have many proofs but I think I have most of them in flips. I haven't checked them lately though.
  9. Mr T
    Surely if it was an intentional fabrication there would be more out there and someone would be cashing.
  10. Mr T
    Ah thanks - and which obverse is it?
  11. Mr T
    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.
  12. Mr T
    Trick of the light but the c and e look different - like the top bar is shorter on the c.
  13. Mr T
    Freeman is the only place I know of for bronze farthings.
  14. Mr T
    Do you have pictures of the coin in its entirety?
  15. Mr T
    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.
  16. Mr T
    Freeman 5 is Peck 4 for farthings (and Freeman 6 is Peck 5 - the three berries obverse).
  17. Mr T
    Yeah no mix-ups on the 1925 by the looks of it.
  18. Mr T
    Ah yes: https://www.noble.com.au/auctions/lot?id=450605 Thank you.
  19. Mr T
    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.
  20. Mr T
    Many thanks. Unhelpfully listed under the sixpences of 1880!
  21. Mr T
    That's quite nice - good call out to their heritage.
  22. Mr T
    The Royal Mint have done coloured coins before haven't they? Or is this pad-printed rather than painted?
  23. Mr T
    Is the 1839 proof sixpence with obverse 6 mentioned in any books?
  24. Mr T
    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.
  25. Mr T
    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.
