Arrived today pleased as punch actually called one right for a change lol. 1950 proof sixpence was just advertised as a normal one. Bargain radar alarm went off. was for pennies so karma has returned am in that happy place once again.
No no still going in there. I still have stragglers waiting to come from abroad. Sadly most go back. I don't know what it is with these europeans they will polish and clean absolutely everything. I have even on one occasion not bothered opening the letter as I could already smell the duraglit when the posty handed it over lols waiting for a real lowball penny that might be an F14 and a half penny unlisted 1737/5. But I doubt i'll be able to refrain from the odd speculative purchase
Those are shillings from when I used to collect shillings and halfpennies as denominations. All four were culled over the past 10 years when I refocused the collection. Although I don't have them any more, I thought they were pretty enough to include on the thread. Here's another, a Wiener pattern, ESC 1380.
