  1. Hi can I ask what 50p in slabs are. Dave
  2. I really don't like dirty coins but with my collection of £1, £2 and 50 pence coins I did not think it would matter. I have some Victoria coins but they are as i had them and I will post some pictures so others don't make the same mistake I have. I have not collected the Olympic 50 pences but I do like to collect 50 pences.
  3. Hi Jon I have nearly all the £2 coins except the Magna Carta and HMS Belfas and i am now wary of fakes even these two have fakes. Thanks Dave
  4. Oh **** mind you the Kew was nice anyway and i will take some pictures and let you see what a mess my collection looks like and how it's worthless now.
  5. Hi Peter I collect £1, £2 and a small collection of 50 pences and in the coin world I have possibly ruined them as they have been cleaned and polished so the detail shows up. Dave
  6. My collection of £2 coins is ruined as far as coin collectors go as 99% of them have been cleaned just like my £1 coins and I now wish I had left them even though they found look nice.
  7. I am financially better off this month so I have spent out on a real Kew not cheap but I do have a small collection of 50p coins. I am shocked at how many £1 and £2 coins there are that are fake as well. Dave
  8. Sorry not been very well and the guy had the coin off has been in touch and I asked him for another but I am not holding my breath. Dave
  9. It seems like I am going have to pay silly money to complete my set again.
  10. Hi Peter I understand what you are saying but this is something that came out of the blue and is something i would never do to anyone.
  11. I would not mind if it was one of my other coins as i was really pleased and proud with owning a Kew 50p only to find out its a fake and it was my talking point to others and now i feel stupid and gutted.
  12. I was loving collecting but this has been a kick in the stomach i did not expect and it was fun whilst it lasted. thanks everyone from Dave
  13. My problem is i take people at face value and i have trust but it appears to have failed me this time as the Kew 50p was my pride and joy.
  14. I cannot trace who i purchased it from but i am thinking of not collecting anymore coins as i obviously am not experienced enough and i should have done my home work but i always take people at their word as that is how i lead my life and i guess this sounds like i am throwing my dummy out of my pram but i am not i am just really gutted. Thanks Dave
  15. This coin was my pride and joy and now I feel gutted as I would never do that on someone.
  16. I hope it is not a fake. Dave
  17. I have been reading about fake coins and noticed that the Kew has some knocking around. I have weighed mine at 9 grand but it should be about 8 grand and there is a difference with the queens eye against an origina. I hope mine is not a fake as I cannot afford another.
  18. I will be traumered if they go into mass circulation and i will have wasted £23 but on the plus side i only need two more £2 coins to complete my collection.
  19. I am not sure if the three Shakespeare coins are going to be minted in their thousands or millions and go out as tender or are they just going to be like a commemorative collection.
  20. I have recently purchased the three Shakespeare £2 coins and does anyone know if they are going to be minted in their millions or just BU and proof because if they become ten a penny I have wasted my money.
  21. It seems on the large auction site nearly all 50p coins £1 coins and £2 coins are rare according to the adverts. That means my collection is worth I kings ransom "not"
  22. I have just purchased the set of three and knowing my luck they will be minted in the millions.
  23. I would like a set of these coins if anyone is selling any.
  24. I just wanted a Millennium set the same size as the rest. Dave
  25. I know what you mean but i know i have devalued it to almost nothing but on the plus side the coins are now in an oblong case and match the rest as i collect sets of every five years 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015. I also collect queen Victoria coins, 50p coins, £1 coins and £2 coins and yes i know that sounds strange.
