copper123 Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 Typical poor reporting from the mail hacks - the edward Viii penny is NOT copper the last penny in copper apart from a couple of patterns or proofs was 1860. They repeatedly make basic mistakes like this even a schoolboy coul;d do a better job

copper123 Posted February 14, 2022 Posted February 14, 2022 To be honest if you had bought any of those lots in the fifties or sixties you probably had a few ok coins that would have showed you a profit say twenty years later . Did you get a bargain at the time? No but there again new collectors have to start somewhere ..... 1
