  3. Just posting. http://hken.ibtimes.com/articles/123098/20110316/utah-governor-to-decide-whether-gold-silver-coins-are-legal-currency.htm There are many write up in the web about returning to silver and gold coin currency. Other mention that in the past that the ratio of gold and silver is1:15 to 1:73 now in the past silver is correlated to the value of gold,gold and silver currency and both are correlated to product in the past. Silver coin can have a value above its intrinsic value 10%?? or *10 in coin or 14percent or 14 times its value during roman times,dont know what is the value in sceatta and thrymsa on post roman. That the past silver coin to be used,in case other will follow,it meant that silver troy ounce,value in dollar or other currencies should be multiplied by 73 if coined as a currency not as a bullion or bar stamp by its purity by die stamp by previous government,they have entirely different marking or stamp the other is by its purity,others by design like jewelries and coin die stamp by the government in the past to be use as a legal tender in payment for debt,if they will allow to that ratio of 73 if not it meant that even die stamp by government it is only value as a bullion bar or notch higher than a raw purified silver come out from the mine,just a comment.
  4. Its a good thing to have this forum. Predecimal coin magazine is other thing??,maybe I will just edit some forum thread someday and print it as additional resources. All the info. and photo found in this forum,like a assembly photograph maybe in microscope camera that others have just slide every coin for a photo just a comment.
  5. Its in mid 1920's that a red phone booth is introduce just a comment. It is also UKGB is planing to return to gold standard.

  14. For me, that's the big one. Neither did we have internet forums where we could instantly post pictures to ask for peers opinions. Neither did we have forgers stalking us. The US gov. is investigating the forgery on rare coins. Expert post or reply on other subject regarding extremely rare of expensive coin should be limeted,depending on thier info. on whatever it is that the most post they will have is upto second identifier or reserve other authentiction and attribution info on the coin or have another secure section for expert it all up to the agreement of memvers or expert member if they like. That other normal querries will be post fo general viewers.just a comment. Pre and post internet coin collecting, IMO, are two different sports.

  16. 304.8mm in a foot.convert weight site. 2p bronzed 1.85mm thickness. 2p steel 2.03mm thickness.wikipedia. 304.8/1.85=164.75pcs. 304.8/2.03=150.14pcs. 156pcs to a foot actual or computation?just incase they differ.
  17. no.no........156 2p in a foot Sorry for that post. 156 2p in a foot pre-1860 pure copper coin stack high. 203 pennies in a foot 1860 to 1970 bronze alloy 3 metal copper,tin,zinc stack high.
  18. Thank you very much Ski. 203 For pennies 162 for 2pence in a foot.
  19. Just curious on how many coin and denomination can reach one foot as a measure of length. And how many rotation of circumference of coin can reach one foot And how many stack together can reach a height of 1 foot. Or can use a measure in meter. It will be much higher if use meter it is equivalent to 3.2 foot it means that lots of coin to have to reach a barometer or a living standard. Just curios that the decrease in size is also related in inflation. It is the only reference I can find is British relating to coin on linear measure and troy weight as other reference and metal composition. I will just use it in the future to measure coins in the Philippine or base it first on available resources on how far coin size and coin weight decrease on time elapse since they have a large twopence coin up to now. just posting. http://www.practical...riment_752.html Page 10 on linear,page 11 on thickness. 304.8/1.5 203.2 pennies also 203 halfpennies 304.8/1.25 243.84 farthings.

Announce by Gladstone in house of commons.4 August 1859,Freeman page 19. Base on 1852 France bell coinage. 95% Copper 4% Tin 1% Tin.

Tin by 4% is 0.378 in 9.45g* 51.69=19.53g 1200 pieces in 1 AVP 2.7 mil.pcs. in UK long ton 1040 pcs in Troy pound. Zinc by 1% 0.0945* 51.69 4.884g 4800 pcs, in AVP nearly 11 mil pcs in LT. 3949.20 in troy pound. By 9.45g in bronze alloy. 48 compare to 51.69 or 52 AVP. 39.49 compare to 46.64 or 47 TP. 3 to 7 pieces in difference by just adding additional metal by just 5% of other metal it will reach 3-7 pieces extra or 3-7 pieces less if it weight only 8.9975 pure copper. There are thick flan in early coinage in 1860 that a 4D is equivalent to 4D of its weight to reach 1D Or 2 1/4D to reach 1/2D And 2 1/2D to reach 1D. As small denomination will not exceed the next higher or highest denomination on its metal composition like in early Bronze coin with several gram or grams allowance so the higher denomination will be the counter weight and a counter denomination of the lower coin.

  22. On Freeman technical summary data on page 11 last sentence in the page,that the diameter of 1860 onwards in 10 pennies,12 halfpennies,15 farthings is one foot. Ive seen some entries in the web that a cartwheel penny or twopence is 8 pieces to one foot. Just curious on the size of coin decrease in time that it is still base in linear measure or some sort. Any Info,comment,idea suggestion is welcome.
