  1. Yes welcome and we always like to see pictures of coins !
  2. I have a few halfpenny's here and there. Similar to Accumulator, my first favourite coin was a beautiful 1899 half-penny (that I still have) from when I was a lad. It is probably only VF (with eye appeal) but a magnificent specimen to a small boy accustomed to washers. cheers Garrett.
  3. Well done Peter, all profit from here on for you. They are handy especially for a dark room. Most of the dealers have lamps with adjustable necks but it's a bit of a pain to have to move around, especially when others are at the table too.....
  4. Absolutely Paulus ! 28 pounds of sugar. What the hell was he going to do with that ? Resell ? Make some home brew ? :/
  5. Looks like there is another coin fair next weekend at the Colossus club in West End. Take a loupe with it's own light as it seemed a dark room last time I was there. cheers Garrett.
  6. Welcome Russ ! I know you will enjoy your time here. I like shillings too. cheers Garrett.
  7. I missed out on this one, http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1825-Great-Britain-George-III-Farthing-copper-coin-encased-in-resin-/271579937448?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEDWX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=%252BU5hBtf5wmMq69YHry8S6xkbb%252BI%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Clear 5 over 5 overdate and possibly a high grade coin. But in resin ? A prior museum piece perhaps ? Would have been a nice curio. cheers Garrett.
  8. I am not an advanced collector but it looks a bit cleaned to me. Not an unattractive coin though, having said that.
  9. Welcome CC ! cheers Garrett.
  10. Welcome Rob ! Nice penny too, not bad at all. Tom, great post !!!!! cheers Garrett.
  11. Yes, very nice coin indeed !
  12. nice halfpenny Cathrine ! Jaggy, gorgeous 1/3rd farthing as well, but I've not been drawn to them yet as they weren't used in UK or Aus as far as I know ?? Looks pretty much "as struck" too but don't listen to me it's Friday arv here and you know what that means. time for my bottle. Have a good weekend all !! cheers Garrett.
  13. Sounds like a nice coin. If you could share a pic I would love to see it ! cheers Garrett.
  14. IMHO I don't think it's quite VF, and it doesn't look entirely round.
  15. Welcome Jason !
  16. Hopefully you will find one without the question marks Goom; they're not rare. cheers Garrett.
  17. It might be a good idea to check out what they have been selling for at auctions (if you've not already done so). cheers Garrett.
  18. Yes would be nice to see the pic ! cheers Garrett.
  19. Yes thanks Clive/Stuart. Was referring to the 'threepence'. Thanks for answering ! Not the coin I'd buy but would be thrilled to bits to pull it out of the ground ! cheers Garrett.
  20. non-genuine ? Sorry if it's a stupid question; it's a warm Friday arv here and I've been drinking
  21. I'm sure we'd all rather forget about the soccer anyway ! I must say, as someone who is not a soccer fan, a lot of the games have been good to watch. They are on early morning our time (starts of 2am through to 8am) and I have watched quite a few as they have been on free-to-air TV.
