Is that 1845 horror show tooled? Why bother? Polish a turd and what do you have? A shiny turd.
Boom boom.
I'll get me coat….
I note our great leader, Brother Veritas, has now adopted Trump's ridiculously elongated necktie look. Takes pounds off, apparently, and 'Let me be very clear about this.' in no way makes you look a total div.
And further down the page an equally enticing embarrassment of riches offered by the same seller.
I'm kicking myself for missing the end time on this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EXTREMELY-RARE-Minting-Error-1-SHILLING-SILVER-COIN-1926-/254606269370?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l44720.c10&nordt=true&rt=nc&orig_cvip=true
The same seller does though have two other treasures for my consideration, so all is not lost. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/daa2323/m.html?item=254606269370&nordt=true&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

Yes you are the possessor of a 1911 “Hollow Neck” penny – a VERY difficult coin to find !

I've posted these here before but they're probably worth dragging out again for this topic.
Both last year.
1820 inverted 1 6d. GVF, £56.
1911, Gouby X, 1d. Fine, £1.50 inc. P&P.
