Members on the forum now and again post links to useful websites for reading or for other coin related matter. I hope i can start this thread just for links where people can post useful sites for other members, so here is the 1st site, all about forgeries. www.forgerynetwork.com/Default.aspx

Hey there I mostly collect Canadian coins and at an auction recently I picked up a one Penny Coin 1912 H. It is is amazing shape no wear lots of original ouster, sadly has a finger print on it. What is the Value, I can't find any decent website to tell me what it might be worth.

Just checked mine again. None have the reeding to the left, but one has the reeding mostly to the right, but with 3 lines into the left hand side. This is paired with the reverse that has almost all of the thistle leaf in the brass ring and the legend touching the inner ring. i.e. appears to be struck slighly off centre.

Just looked at 23 and all were smooth to the left . Didnt think i had any untill the wife told me to look in my grandaughters money box

Just checked about a dozen and they're all "smooth to the left" - quite interesting.

It's a thrower.

My pic of the Sandwich token, the best of the three

Not so much "inability' to add to my sixpence collection but already having many of the examples I want means that my 'buy list' is somewhat shorter now. For that reason I have branched out into a couple of type sets. It is enjoyable to have a slightly changed focus. I think that when one likes coins, even if an interest area is quite focused, it isn't hard to find other areas to enjoy.

Yes, fabulous!!

Hat off to the cabinet makers.

The best thing about Margaret Thatcher was when they put that statue of her in the guildhall in London and that bloke went in and knocked the head off it Seriously... privatisation was a big mistake. The profit motive doesn't work for service industries and nobody seems to have come up with a decent service motive. These companies are run by people from business and they are used to being rewarded for making more profit... which is fine... but a profit making company does not necessarily provide the best levels of service. We need people in charge who are motivated to provide good service... their rewards need to be tied to the service they provide and not the profit they make. Some people say bring back National Service... well, if you take that idea and then think of the civil service as well as the armed forces... what do you think? Or maybe graduates can work for the civil service as a way of repaying their debt. All you young Tories... you don't remember what it was like! I hope you've started your pension saving already...
