How much is this 1992 10p brian ?. Please dont tell me 11p

I'd say the same. You've got to remember, that you can get 'toned' aUNC and near full-lustre aUNC too. For the more recent coinage I've always thought it desirable to get the big-lustre pieces. there is a 'grey' period in toning, where a BU coin becomes a beautiful, shimmering, toned, beauty. I like both these ends of the spectrum, not so much the tonal transition period. it's an OK coin, Dan.

A lot more than you might think.

That is my listing, but there are a couple more currently listed to choose from, one at £1,995 BIN, another at £3,000 BIN

Think if you have a good look around now you will find lots of Decimal Coin Collectors. Have a look at Facebook groups and dedicated decimal websites. I collect a bit of everything, main predecimal bronze and copper. Maybe the price is a little high but these prices are being realised so definitely a market for them and therefore a collector base. I certainly wouldn't turn my nose up at either as part of my collection.

I'm pretty sure Chris (Perkins) sold one last year for just under 1000, then included it in that year's edition of Collectors' Coins. Also the penultimate entry in this RM blog mentions it.

I thought that they only occurred in a very few of the "Martini" or "Heinz" sets but now it seems that they are in some of the standard RM sets as well - but very very rare.

I've got a spare

I don't have a 2p. Inadvertently picked up the aquatics 50p though.

Not Robs, but I think he has collared me I have recently cleared my Garage and have half dozen storage boxes of lots acquired at auctions over the last few years, basically I have bought job lots to get something I have wanted, with an impending House move, I am selling off rather than hump them all around with me. Most of the coinage is RM Base metal and silver, along with the equivalent in Commonwealth coinage, Banknotes, stamps and covers, most of the smaller Auction Houses do not sort through these types of lots so there has been a few gems in there, Seeing the current prices achieved for the 1983 rare set and Aquatic 50p 1st Ed. both at Auction and on Ebay I thought I would put them out there whilst I type out and image all the other bits.

Our own Chris has written an article on this in predecimal.com! http://www.predecimal.com/newpence "Approx 450 minted (although there is no accurate figure)."

An 'upgrade', if you can call it that, of something that I find quite interesting, I like the theory behind expending the brass shells into the alloy mix after the war. One of the most affected ones I've seen.

Coin arrived this morning Jac and doubt i will get a better one.

It's a genuine imitation! Guaranteed!
