    EBAY SCAM

    must be ingram coins selling it, i know more about these coins than they do after learning the hard way,
  3. been getting these since 2013, https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/ranges/annual-sets/The-2018-United-Kingdom-Brilliant-Uncirculated-Annual-Coin-Set/ bout the best value thing they sell at the mint,

    good value,

    i got a free trip to the museum after doing some voice work for the collectors area, haha
  5. i like the fact it has christopher ironsides design yet the normal penny for that year has matthew dents design,
  6. have just bought a couple of these, in silver, dated 2018 with the old design for the penny, i dont think its available in any other format as far as i can see, might be an obscure coin to find in years to come, https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/gifts/christening-and-baby-gifts/Baby-Boy-Silver-Penny/ https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/gifts/christening-and-baby-gifts/baby-girl-silver-penny/
  7. struck in copper ??, as opposed to copper plated steel, can't see any further info on the ad, interesting if you have a passing interest in modern coins, just waiting for clarification from the royal mint if it is copper and not copper plated steel, https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/gifts/retirement-gifts/Lucky-Copper-Penny-2018/
  8. have saved up £200 to spend on coins, % hit me with some ideas, am thinking of buying bullion with it, half sov and some silver britannias, royal mint bullion have some discounts up to 25% on the gold britannias and 15% on sovs,
  9. could get me a 1905 shilling, or maybe some more 37 cameo proofs lol
  10. dunno if your being sarcastic there lol
  11. i like them, unusual little thing, 2018 dated, 5th portrait, better than spend £10 on a beatrix potter 50p lol, least its silver, you not impressed ?
  12. craigy

    what to buy,

    to be honest i might save my money and wait, its obviously burning a hole in my pocket and if i dont have anything in mind then i should wait,
  13. where do they get there figures from http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5250171/Businessman-makes-70-000-year-selling-COINS-eBay.html
  14. i'm guessing the force of the die would squash out the metal to make up the smaller flan ?
  15. give him his due though, i forgot to add,
  16. and the 2p made out of the 10p blank, surely some of the design would be missing ?
  17. a lot of money me thinks https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/ranges/annual-sets/The-2018-UK-Silver-Proof-Coin-Set/ or are they ?
  18. craigy

    pure speculation 2017

    a friend of mine works in a post office and has not seen any 2017 coins yet except the £1
  19. but are they coins or just medals ?
  20. that run was for a private person, wonder if it will show in spinks ?
  21. craigy

    pure speculation 2017

    been a lots of 50p's issued of late, probably a glut
  22. the bust is totally different from the bust that would be on every circulating coin of that date, i dont need it in my hand to tell that the coin is a fake, doesnt matter what the reverse is of
  23. can tell straight away from the bust
  24. with all the commemorative coins etc was nice to see the humble round pound throw up an oddity https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2016-Definitive-Shield-of-Royal-Arms-One-Pound-1-Unreleased-Bunc-Coin-UK-GB/263369643807?hash=item3d520dd71f:g:Q-8AAOSwTm9aJ99v was only available in the year sets
