No offence taken rob I just presumed you were being truthful and honest with your guidance. As a Yorkshire man I do Prefer to be told it how it is.

Thanks for the information and support. I have only been collecting for about 8 months and I mainly collect the coin sets and proofs but have aquired an interest for the odd older coin or two, I mean we all have to start some where dont we.

Is this one for real. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-2006-10P-TEN-PEN...tem150049312689

Hi Rob, Thanks for the reply The coin is worn but it is in better condition than the scan shows the picture does it no justice. what i was questioning was the fact that all the letters are there but the second N does not even have the faint imprint to show that it was once there even under an eyeglass x10. However thanks again for the reply and although its worthless so long as its not a fake to me its value lies in the fact that its a peice of history and as so should be treasured.

Hi to everyone this is my first of what I hope to be many posts on this forum. I have recently acquired a cartwheel coin it is roughly 35mm x 3mm and weighs just short of an ounce, can any one tell me if it is a copy or not as it fits all known descriptions of a penny but the word Britannia only as one N many thanks
