  1. Did you screenshot those from your ZX Spectrum?
  2. For the majority of coins it's going to be a case of the condition that they're in, so if the condition is similar to the penny then probably not worth much. Although the 1917 threepence will have an intrinsic value due to it's silver content (.925), but only a few pounds, if that. The 1948 farthings are ten a penny, only a few quid tops and it would have to be in excellent condition even to fetch that.
  3. Hi Hazel, Unfortunately it's not worth anything, it's a bit too closer to looking like a washer than a coin! Nothing rare about this date which would be the only thing to give it any value when a coin is that worn. There is a variety for this year that less than 10 examples are known for, but this is just the normal variety.. Hope it helps.
  4. Yes I also have a couple with about 10% but nothing extremer. Would be nice to have a completely inverted example.
  5. Out of interest do you have anything with over 45 degrees rotation? That 1928 originally from the workman sale went for £200 hammer in the LCA auction in march, that was completely inverted.
  6. Checking my open 3, it's the flat E. I don't have the coin to check if there is rotation though..
  7. Would you not put the die rotation down to an equipment error though Terry? Could be a couple of hundred were struck before the axes were realigned, but I would always put a die rotation error down as being rarer in any case. Personally I don't pay too much attention to anything less than about 30-40 degrees, then a premium starts to apply.
  8. I don't think it's possible to remove carbon spots..
  9. We were in Finland last month and headed into Helsinki for a look around, went around a corner only to see them coming out of their hotel.
  10. Yes, Dave's spot on in that it's a defective planchet. Imperfections in the metal will do that, among other things. Also if you bought it from a dealer you shouldn't be concerned that they might not take it back, 99% will. If they don't then it's probably not a good person to do business with.
  11. Did you spot Brian's post above? He's right, there are actually a lot of decimal folders out there, although I have to admit I haven't seen one for 1/2 pennies, but they were only around for just over a decade after decimalisation..
  12. Good job Pete, now please stop buying all the pennies or I'll have to switch to farthings
  13. Yes it's definitely more of an investment item than a collection item, would be nice to have it back in UK though. Stop stealing all our good coins @RLC35
  14. Happy birthday Brian, have a great day
  15. Me too, I thought it would at least reach £200k..
  16. Very nice! Impressive work there
  17. It's the penny that @loose54 posted up here a few months ago. I wondered when it would turn up at auction
  18. A very good price, I had been looking at a similar one for about £60 until I saw this. It's one of those ones where the seller normally sells things like old records/costume jewellery so isn't on the coin radar, just happened to spot it when I was doing the dailies and ended up winning it for a decent price.
  19. I'm stuck at work, took holidays too early Better pictures IMO. I got this the other week, has a small spot on. Although it cost me 15 quid and came with a half decent 1901, can't complain.
  20. Just sold somewhere, it was an already completed auction but the pictures were still being shown. Was such a nice coin.
  21. Well when I look at the coin, I'm looking at the scratches and the weak breastplate (always check the breasts first). The carbon spot doesn't really draw my attention much so it probably wouldn't bother me at all.
  22. Still a nice coin. The scratches on the obv put me off more than the carbon spot does.
  23. I've seen one with full lustre...
  24. Indeed. I'll take the 1934 though, no problem.
