PWA 1967

Yes they probably think its someone like me who is stupid (they are right ) buying low grade pennies for much more. I agree their money to do what they want with and probably most are bought by people with no interest in coins ,such as the 1953 set. Companies probably target the majority of people who will buy things just because they want them due to how they were described in the adverts.

Yes i agree . Yesterday i was looking at a full page advert in one of the daily papers by one of the companies that call themselves xxxxxxxx mint i think. I know the advert would of been a good few quid and often used as a loss leader to keep selling them things Described with all the hype and bollocks as a 1953 coronation set, Not even proofs and just a 1953 set with a couple of stamps, I cant remember how much they were ,although the price was ridiculous 😟. Maybe somebody on here saw it and can confirm the price ?

The results are up ☺️

The die crack through the V on the obverse is a good second indicator Jon.........Hat off 🙂 The idea is you take another photo to show people after taking the verd off

Yes its a F10 ,think the seller meant 1d as in the denomination and not the dies which would be the mule ☺️

He does say they are for pre-order and The Royal mint will maybe let a couple have large quantities of everything that comes out. I doubt they are going to turn the money down.

Yes i agree ,however the royal mint have now got a big customer base who are queing up to buy anything no matter how horrible it may look to us as pre decimal coin collectors. They now sell everything from wallets ,cufflinks and scarves. The plate coin may well be the next

Well just that seller has sold over forty in just a couple of days ,crazy i know but a lot more decimal collectors than i used to think and most seem to buy anything that is released. Dealers i speak to are getting asked every week for more and more decimal coins at shows and over the phone.

Glad you got one Mike ,always good to get one your looking for ☺️

Or try to break it out ☺️

http://www.thefakepoundcoindatabase.co.uk/ I think nearly all the decimal ones are covered on this website.

The 1877 is a really nice one for someone who has not got one and possibly even bertter in hand ☺️

The biggest problem for me is it takes a lot longer to go through all the lots closely and to see them in hand they are only available to view in London. Although the pictures are really good it was nice to view them with one click with the magnifier 🙂

Thats a new one for me "just off to suck a few eggs " What does that mean ?.

Only guessing Mike but looks similar to ebay. when you click thje link a clock is going down to a finish day at 11.00 AM unless that is when the live bidding starts. Looks more like ebay though with cheaper items that can be bid on at anytime untill the finish time. I am probably wrong

Yes Mike your right ,what i should of perhaps typed is looks more like OBV 8 as all appeared different ☺️ They still often confuse me and when buying them and they are a few quid like to get a second opinion if i am not sure ,as a couple of forum members know who i am grateful. Even more so when i have got them wrong

Yes i thought they were different Richard and was using the ones above as being the only examples pictured. I am sure if you look at the full pictures of the coin Terry the difference will be more obvious with the nose etc Wish i was able to do some work instead of being bored daft

The second one looks like OBV 8 ☺️ but think i may be confusing myself

The die on the middle one and right one Terry dont look the same to me ,with other differences such as the fishtail on both ribbons are you sure they are both OBV 7 ?

They must of had a problem with the Y on the 1861 pennies as i have a F29 that has a restruck Y different to Terrys

Did you find any bad ones Josh ?.

Yes..........Absolute garbage and want throwing in the BIN.
