Coppers Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Very nice collection. How are you storing/arranging it? Quote

azda Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 I think the Edward I silver penny grade might be optimistic Quote
declanwmagee Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Now you're cooking.1887 Shilling: Look closely at the Q on the top left of the scroll on the tail side. If you can see a distinct loop, it's the common type. There are two others where the Q has a tail, rather than a loop.If your 1958 shilling is really EF, and if it's the English variety (3 lions, not one), that's a very good coin. 1957 Scottish (one lion, not 3) in EF is also good stuff.

Hello17 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Posted August 6, 2011 the 1887is the loop inside the Q or outside Quote
declanwmagee Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 the 1887is the loop inside the Q or outsideCommonest (looped Q) on the left, scarcest (long tailed Q) on the right.There's also a short-tailed Q which is between the two in scarcity Quote

declanwmagee Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 It pays to learn these funny little varieties - chances are your dealer may not know a lot of them, and you could find yourself some bargains... Quote

Peter Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 too late...Your 1st mistake and I'm sure there will be plenty more.Steer clear of the type of coin you see in newspapers/on TV etc.They are gimmicks and marketing rubbish.Stick to proper dealers or even Ebay. Quote
Hello17 Posted August 7, 2011 Author Posted August 7, 2011 i didn't really want it that much . but at leat its not at its price Quote
Cerbera100 Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 Westminster Coins sent me one of the Rhodium/platinum/gold-plated pennies for free... It's quite attractive in a strange way, but worth almost exactly what I paid for it!I have to ask though - if you didnt really want it, why did you buy it?! Quote
Hello17 Posted August 7, 2011 Author Posted August 7, 2011 its what my grandad is giving me for birthday and he said i shoul;d have it Quote
Cerbera100 Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 Ahh ok... I got one of them too... a grandad see's London Mint Office/Westminster Coins etc adverts in the paper and insists on buying things for me! He nearly stopped when the 1818 crown that he bought me turned out to be a barely legible date rather than the aUnc picture! Quote
Hello17 Posted August 7, 2011 Author Posted August 7, 2011 he also got me the ones listed as new Quote
Cerbera100 Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) Cool - waaay better than my grandad then! Best he managed (from his sock draw!) was a almost unidentifiable 1762 quarter guinea which someone had made a donut from! So much was missing from the middle, that only the width of the crown on the reverse remained! Edited August 7, 2011 by Cerbera100 Quote

I once got a Max Bygraves vinyl record from mine and this was at the time of the meteoric rise of the Beatles and the Stones. I don't think it ever got a play, so its 'Uncirculated'. Get it!! :rolleyes: :D :lol: Quote
