    Sixpence or shilling bearing the castle or Anchor for 1627-1629. The others? Shilling for the 1725. Copper half pennies would be your easiest route for 45/48/53

    Sixpences dated 1606 are available. Dates 1725/45/48/53 are available in various denominations. No English coins were minted bearing the date 1628, though years of production are identified by the mint marks used. 1627-28 Castle 1628-29 Anchor 'I'm a writer about Vampires.' I must say, that's terribly clunky syntax from someone describing themselves as a writer!

    The1933 penny, 'Son, sell only when times are hard' etc. etc. On it goes….

    It does indeed. However, good condition, and retailing at £1000. What a missed opportunity! From the same seller: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Elizabeth-II-Halfpenny-1982/132762510767?hash=item1ee94325af:g:M4EAAOSwq4lbCEy9

    On it goes. I really need to get out more...

    I find I have a genuine 1879M. The Ebay fake is awful. A fool and his money are soon parted...

    A reply to my message. Does he think I've taken the bait?...

    A scarcity of small change in the 1790s wasn't anything new. Here's my nicest token from the mid previous century.

    My own humble contribution….

    Here you go Stu, from the same seller, even more tempting than the Chas farthing washer….. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Giorgius-III-D-G-Rex-Coin-Date-Unknown/323418417482?hash=item4b4d3d694a:g:59kAAOSwfjdbVdKy

    1513?
  14. Michael-Roo
    Being a dealer doesn't mean a person is automatically infallible. I see Stu (Coinery) agrees with me. The coin is VF. Cool overstrike though!
  15. Michael-Roo
    Now, that's a beauty!

    I love Bowie's early work. The Deram/Anthony Newley years, much underrated. He was guilty of knocking out one or two absolute stinkers during that period though. How about this demo. He never bothered to develop the song further himself (thank god) but, astonishingly, it was picked up and recorded by a group called Oscar, fronted by Paul 'Dancing With The Captain' Nicholas.

    Nearer VF than EF I would've thought?

    Class Peter!

    No thank you! Affectation. Pantomime masquerading as avant garde. 'Look out, he's behind you!' 'Oh no he isn't.' 'Oh yes he is.' 'Oh no he…' etc etc. This is more like it…..

    Clearly Peter, you are a man of good taste. I saw them at Eric's 78/79. Spellbinding.

    I may now be a stuffy old opera and early music bod, but when young I liked other things. An Australian single I played to destruction, and a Manchester record I still like forty years on.

    LOVE the Sixteen. We catch their annual pilgrimage tour each year in Liverpool.

    Euripides trousers, Eumenides trousers….. Boom, boom. Thank you, thank you. I'm here all week, matinees Tuesday and Thursday, tell your friends.
