    It was posted under the penny section. See what you mean Matt. Hadn't picked up on that!

    Well coin arrived today -- not a penny but a farthing!!!!! Not overly happy. Waiting to see response from seller. Still a great piece but not what I would have bid on if I had known.

    Not something which will appeal to everyone but I had to add it to my collection. A piece of social history, trench art. Adding to the adage For God, King and Country.....the Lords Prayer on an early George V penny. I am not religious just admire the time and effort taken. Not my photos so sorry for quality.

    Think this shows the fields and detail better

    Obverse taken against a grey background. Shows a bit more of its condition but still much better in hand. Just trying to get my photos right!!!!

    Quick query. Bought this 1934 penny. It is a beautiful dark brown has seen a bit of circulation but seems to have almost glass like fields. I have tried to photo it the best I can but the photo's dont do the coin justice. Anyone any idea's regarding its finish, etc..

    Glad I wasn't the only person looking!! I thought the I to BRITT looked fairly close but wasn't 100%. Couldn't make out the I to IMP. Also I did note looking at many of the other Gouby X that the colons after IMP seems to point to a space which it seemed too, but maybe wrong. Glad though as I don't feel as gutted now

    Hi Folks, Got caught up with this one as I thought it maybe a 1911 Gouby X. Is it or isn't it........was it a member who bought it? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1911-George-V-penny-nice-grade-/131755723944?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEDWX%3AIT&nma=true&si=zg2d9oCe7BASOeGejSRm3tYA4ms%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Really curious but out of funds for a chance buy!!!

    Could the double strike not have spread the coin further than the norm? Just a thought.

    Just got a spare today. Will take a pic and PM it to you.

    Just need the 1940 Single Exergue now and 2 proofs and the George VI is ticked off =D
  12. bhx7
    Yes. It is a beauty better in hand than it looks. The mark on the chin is not the coin as I took the photo through a quadrum case and its on that!
  13. bhx7
    Maybe nothing major but something I have been looking for for quite some time. The 1944 Obv 2 Rev C*, a lot harder to get than I intitially thought especially in top condition! Photo taken on my phone so not as clear and crisp as I would like.

    I would have thought near good Fine to near VF. Don't think near EF at all, although I don't have it in hand. The mustache seems well defined so maybe better in hand and the photo does not do it justice. I am no expert and am learning all the time. Sure someone will be along soon to give a better grading.

    One of my favourite coins in that lot. There is something about the Edward VII florins, stunning coins. One set of silvers that I could definitely go for!!!!
  16. bhx7
    yes please Pete. . You have my email but can send it again of need. Thanks Brian

    Quadrums for me too. The uniformity across the range make it ideal. Plus they fit correctly protect your coins well and look great.

    It is a nice error. I like it!
  19. bhx7
    If I get a second before the meeting its yours, unless you get one before?

    My friend just handed me the first Battle of Britain 50p. It is almost mint with only a couple of tiny bag marks. He has been looking for one for me since release. He's a taxi drive and gets loads of 50 pence's every day. First he has seen. So looks like they have just hit our area now!
  21. bhx7
    sure would. Home sweet home ?
  22. bhx7
    Great buy! Was out this morning so never saw any of the new listings! Great addition to your error collection ?
  23. bhx7
    I like that one Matt. Where did you dig that one up from?
  24. bhx7
    Curious to see what you guys think. Has this had the hair etched back on? Something just doesn't look right to me !!! Maybe wrong though. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1853-Victoria-gothic-florin-/391391034113?hash=item5b20b93b01:g:q8IAAOSwQYZWy2Ho
