Master Jmd Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 what is your favourite decimalised coin?mine would have to be the 2p, the reason for this is that i have all of the 2p's from 1980 - 2004 (excluding proofs) in GEF condition with full lustre... Quote
william Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 My favourite is the Normal (not commorative) £2 coin, I just love the design! Quote
kuhli Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 I voted for the 20p. Something about them, I just like. The incuse legends around the edge give it some style, and I think the design on the reverse is one of the better designs on circulation issues. Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 I voted 50p because Britannia on the reverse harks back to the days of yore. Plus, we occasionally get some quite remarkable ones, like the NHS anniversary. If they only put that much effort into the hospitals, we might be getting somewhere!That's not a very good picture, one can only just make out the hands but still very nice!Nice page here, plus some other nice designs.

Geoff T Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Are we allowed to include the silver £2 Britannias? If so, they get my vote. Quote
Master Jmd Posted May 6, 2004 Author Posted May 6, 2004 Are we allowed to include the silver £2 Britannias? If so, they get my vote. any coins as long as they dont go past £5 Quote

I like that coin. Are they easy to find in circulation?? Thanks for the link to the page about 50p. Now I can sit down and figure out which all ones I need to complete my set. A bunch, I know that.

I have one of those NHS 50p's that i found in circulation in 2000/2001, but i have not seen another since, so you may get lucky...I already have all the 'rarer' 50p's apart from this years... Quote

I find that the public libraries one is quite easy to find in circulation. Do you have that one? Quote
Master Jmd Posted May 7, 2004 Author Posted May 7, 2004 oh yes, there is also the 1973 EEC 50p, but that cannot be found in circulation anymore, and there is the 1998 25th anniversary of the EU that i have found many of them... Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 There are many different designs for modern coins however there are hardly any varieties for those designs. So that is why I think that coin prices will continue to soar because no one will want to collect decimal coins. Quote
Sylvester Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 I like £2 coins, the normal reverse.Gotta love the Britannia 50s, and the 20p.Kinda like 10ps, they are a nice size.I really like pennies 1971-1984.I really, really, really, really....(to the power of 657.8), hate 5ps, i wish they'd demonetise them.I stipulate against taking them, prefering 3 copper coins instead.

Geoff T Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 I like that coin. Are they easy to find in circulation?? I have one in my wallet at this very minute and at least one other at home. Shall I put your name on one? Quote
Chris Perkins Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 I like that coin. Are they easy to find in circulation??I have one in my wallet at this very minute and at least one other at home. Shall I put your name on one? What's all this coin re-ownership going on in MY forum!!!???? Quote
Geoff T Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 What's all this coin re-ownership going on in MY forum!!!???? And there was I thinking I was doing my good deed for the day The offer's still on Kuhli! Quote
kuhli Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 Geoff,I would love to have one. What can I offer you in exchange? (something from this side of the pond??)Thanks,Scott Quote
Geoff T Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 Kuhli, can you private me with your details. It's worth just under a dollar at present rates, so add on likely postage (I imagine only $2 or so) and I'll leave the choice of what you send me up to you. Quote
