Paulus Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Just now, Rob said: I have got rid of most of them and have only kept a basic core of a couple hundred pieces covering all possible designs, rulers etc Quote
Rob Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 You don't realise how many disappear if you only keep one example of each Freeman obverse and reverse for example. It's quite easy to lose 80 or 90% of a date run. Bronze halfpennies now only require 60-70 pieces or so. G3 patterns are down to a similar level, Victoria patterns are fewer, pre-1860 is quite simple too. After that it's just little hammered pieces which realistically are only a trayful. Quote

Rob Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 This coin amply demonstrates the difficulty of finding quality W3 coppers. P700 reading GVLIEEMVS. The 1700 halfpenny that went through Spink just before Christmas was truly exceptional. 1 Quote
copper123 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 And not a washer - that halfpenny was worth a pretty penny , so to speak. I love that reverse as well with britannia holding the branch low - was only used on a few dates and discontinued very soon after that date - pity Quote
scott Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) these plus a F-VF 1899 penny and a low grade 1844 and a couple more badly worn 61's £4.50 Edited March 16, 2016 by scott Quote
Paulus Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 You are the king of bargain low grade varieties Scott, without a doubt! Quote
scott Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) yea.. those were just the little purchases, just had a look through a tin of old copper, and those were there. I had jotted down some dates on a piece of paper, and checked it.. had 1878 written on it. Edited March 16, 2016 by scott Quote
