    It's another one of them

    When there are initials they show up really well.

    LCA December

    Additionally, It looks like the tags used to pull the coins have marked most of the set, with the exception of the crown and one of the shillings. Whilst it's a very nice crown, I wouldn't be happy it's the original, given that it has no hint of similar marks to the others (check the obverses on the link and you'll get the idea).

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    That seller has lots of ... copies, a very varied selection indeed.

    Sad News

    My thoughts are with his family at this time. His passion for Roman coins is not lost on me.

    Natural light and plastic capsules doesn't do the modern coinage any favours, but then modern coinage isn't that pretty to start with.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I agree, it's not an "error", it's a malfunction. It's definitely not in the same league as the later Vicky B/R RITT examples.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I'd be happy its a fair listinng, and price. There is another currently at £3 odd and some others from 75, 100 and more on there.

    Detectorists

    I guess I should add .. "catch up on virgin, not sure about sky". On virgin, search for detectorists and explore the show,->episodes-> watch from catch up. On sky..... [hopefully someone else can fill in the blanks]

    Detectorists

    It's available on catch up, there's a possibility it would cause some confusion if you don't see it before the new series.

    If this happens, I find the easiest cure is to reload the page (press F5 or click "refresh") . This makes the page forget what it thought it knew

    clogs, die faults, et al.

    Does this qualify as an entrant for this thread? (Guess who's been looking at pennies again....)

    1877 wider date

    I have a couple of really bad ones I was looking at last night, some with a droopy last 7 and some all in a line and even. I figured from google and ebay images that it's pretty common - and if I have 2, that means they can't be worth much lol!

    1966 Finger Penny

    The cleaning doesn't look historical enough for my liking, tops a tenner and a boiled egg.
  20. Unwilling Numismatist

    Pennies High grade.

    I saw the serial number before the Penny. I think I need to change forums

    Unusual pound coin?

    What does the reverse look like?

    A £600 Churchill Crown

    Well, go me. Just looked through about 200000000000 ebay churchill coins and the one I'm thinking is odd is actually the norm, and the one I refer to as "tidy" is the odd one. So I guess it's time I got new glasses. I'll get my coat.
