  1. The coin above in the set pictured is the older head h29 Spink give no information at all on mintage figures for circulation issues only the silvers and gold. Same for the h31 but they don't even show it as a circulation issue. Pretty poor info really
  2. Actually the picture in spinks doesn't show either with fifty pence in the legend and the later one H31 wasn't a circulation issue and only comes in Silver proof, piedfort and gold. Looks like an error on spinks they don't show a circulation issue for H31 and there clearly are coz I have seen loads and all have 50 pence on them. Be interesting to see if the 5th head version has both. I am getting the feeling it could be misinformation. The old head has no denomination as of yet I have not seen one of those with it and like wise the other new head without. Who knows lol
  3. you know there are two types for that year same reverse but different heads one has the old style head and one more like the head on the new pound coins? H29 and H31 both 2015
  4. I though they all had missing denomination? Normandy landings D-Day has the 50 on but I can't say I have seen battle of britain with a 50 on?
  5. yes there are a few of those on the bay £18.75 BU packs
  6. There is a hell of a lot of misinformation out there and will prove itself in years to come when folk go to sell their coins. Most are bought on the tagline "rarest 50 pence 1992-93 eec". Which is true for the circulation issue followed by the Kew gardens. But here is the bombshell awaiting those who bought the silver proof versions and silver piedfort versions at unbelievably high prices. they are just not rare in any shape or form nowhere near it. 1992-93 eec 50 pence silver proof issued over 27,000. One of the higher mintages of the themed 50 pences yet it still sells at over £60. compare that to battle of Britain silver proof 2015 only 3,000 issued and you can pick them up for £20. Even kew gardens silver proof 7,575 issued sells for ridiculous amounts and all this is because of wrong information and hyping the coin as if it were 1 issue. If the daily mail,sun,mirror were to print that only circulation issues were scarce the prices for the other would fall in line with the rest of the 50 pence issues .There are a lot of 50 pence coins I would rather punt at if i was that way inclined. numero uno and the rarest piedfort 50 pence by far Christopher Ironside issue 816 that is going to be the next Benjamin Britten and comparing it against the EEC with 10,993 piedforts and kew gardens 2,967 is a much rarer issue and still you can pick that up if your lucky for £70 very underrated and if the dailies get wind of it well we know what will happen
  7. Sorry might be at cross swords here. D-Day Landings silver proof in the box with coa not the blister pack version which I think is BU? what year is the no denomination 50p?
  8. If you have a third party antivirus program or something like winutilities. they normally have a feature called file undelete or file recovery. Or a long shot if you haven't emptied your recycle bin they will be in there until you clean it just double click the bin and select the files to restore normally ctrl and select the ones you need
  9. I have seen the silver proof for sale for £20 on my travels
  10. Looks like the cast of lord of the rings
  11. I a few of the 1998 team i forgot i even had in a bag of tokens . Oh the memories
  12. trench art. some can fetch quite a few bob. I'd certainly shell out £20 for it nudge nudge
  13. Point I was making if that is how she describes everything she doesn't know anything about how on earth can you retain 100% customer satisfaction over 2010 sales? esp when there are muppets out there just waiting to give you a rough ride over any description that isn't 100% accurate
  14. Why has one got e n. on the bottom left of the shawl? and the other not or is it just a bad picture. It's either double struck or a trick of the light. right hand side of the shawl and the ears
  15. That's from an online auction house land based but via saleroom. Yes I meant all the silver were fake they just added the few authentic pennies to try and give it some standing lol. Colwyn auctions
  16. Look at this est £100-£160 all fake nobody is safe anymore. this particular set of coins does the rounds in every auction online. repro's not even good ones
  17. I don't know where you find these as the auctions are all the same whatever platform you use. T & C everytime. we do not accept payment over the phone it is so annoying. James & sons used to take payment over the phone they no longer allow it. ewbanks no longer accept cheques but I don't have a cheque account so don't affect me. Online secure I guess that's not a problem same as ebay kind of set up. Arthur johnsons no longer accept phone payments. It just gets so bloody tedious having to wade through the terms trying to find payment methods. I guess by secure they probably mean you might not be the owner of the credit card. Phone up and pay with A.N.Other . Can't see it myself. you have to register your card with the online platforms before you can bid. The only thing they could be concerned is if the delivery address is different from the owner of the cards address.?
  18. Crotchless ones are unless you are in Brighton
  19. If you run around the street in america in your pants nobody would blink an eyelid but Do that in the UK you would be arrested for indecent exposure
  20. I guess two of the more controversial ones would be Fanny and Fag. Which is quite funny in the sense of when you hear the sentence " Could I bum a fag of you please mate" Certainly open to interpretation that one. Said in the wrong country could end up the cause of a fat lip. The bum part refers to a tramp/bum (down and out) don't have any cigarettes because I am skint
  21. I just had a look on Locke & England and this kind of practice really gets under my skin. putting descriptions as "Possible Chinese dragon dollar coin" with est £80-£120 . It either is or it isn't and how can you put an est on something that is more than likely to be 99% fake of £80-£120. There is also other chinese coins and english all with high est with the erroneous title of "possible" . This kind of thing shouldn't be allowed. Should be verified authentic or it stays out of the sale
