Jordan0693 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Can you buy a 1970's penny or '69 and '68? Quote
Peter Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 The 1970 is available in proof sets.There are no 68 or 69'sThe 1967 dies were used until the end of predecimal !d's Quote

Peter Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I've got several sets of proof coins(1970) and more recent.On Ebay sellers make quite a bit selling coins after breaking the sets up.JordonPick up a 1970 set.Keep the 1d and sell the rest and you will probably make a few £. Quote

Yes, especially on the 6d, for some reason!You can easily pick up a full set for a tenner Quote
Peter Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Yep The one of many advantages of sometimes working from home. Quote
Coinery Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Lucky sixpences in immaculate condition? Would you give anything less as a wedding gift or for a Christmas pud treat? Quote
Paulus Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Lucky sixpences in immaculate condition?Would you give anything less as a wedding gift or for a Christmas pud treat?It's just that, as Peter suggests, you're much better off buying the full set than the 1d or 6d individually! Clearly, lots of eBay buyers don't realise this! Quote
Rob Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Not everyone wants the hassle of selling on the unwanteds. I had a customer today at the Midland who wanted a 1976 5p, but didn't want a set to break up and sell on the rest. Each to their own. So I'll break it up and next month he will get his 5p. For most people it isn't a question of ensuring you build the collection at the cheapest price possible, nor does everyone want the hassle of listing on eBay. Not everyone wants to trawl through ebay on a daily basis placing 99p bids on everything in the hope that you win something you can sell on for £1.50. I guess that unlike the nerds on forums such as this, many people have a life. Edited January 11, 2015 by Rob Quote

Clearly, lots of eBay buyers don't realise this!It's likely why the 6d does well? We don't all chuck EII farthings in our Christmas puds and keep the best ones for ourselves, you know! Edit: it's worth looking at 'lucky sixpence' on completed items...hilarious! A little silk bag at 0.00002p from China, a polished 6d, and bob's your uncle...give me a fiver please!

Rob Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I need a nice Berwick farthing. Either Ed2 or 3 will do, though would probably prefer an Ed. 3 for the reverse design. Quote

Peckris Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Can you buy a 1970's penny or '69 and '68?You can certainly buy a 1968 penny As long as you don't mind that it's dated 1971 and comes in a rather cheap blue plastic wallet with 4 other decimal coins... Quote
