PS (this extra post is because the edit button's not working! ): I don't grade post - 1952 coins EF just because they have lustre, for the same reason as Oli, but why does it have to be 1952?

The start of Queen Elizabeth's reign?

They do, it was on over Easter! My word is war.

Love the dictionary Chris!! Here are my suggestions: Legal tender - Currency notes or coins that are legal to spend. Predecimal - The currency used in Britain before decimalisation in 1971 Variety - Diffrerent types of similar coins Young head - The first effigy of Queen Victoria, used on all copper coinage, threepences, groats, sixpences and shillings, half crowns and some crowns before 1860. Bun head - One of Victorias effigys, used on copper coinage between 1860 and 1895. Jubilee head - The effigy of Queen Victoria used on the silver coinage between 1887 - 1893 Old/Veiled/Widow head - The last effigy of Queen Victoria, used on the silver coinage between 1893 - her death in 1901, and used on the bronze coinage between 1895 and 1901.

Thanks

Mine looks horrible now, can anyone tell me what you have to do with them to make them work?!

That's three years of doing it?! You should have got lots more, I reckon. Here's what I have at the moment in my wallet (not that I collect them!): NO TWO PENCE COINS!!! 1 pence pieces: 1971 x 3 1973 x 1 1979 x 1 1980 x 1 1984 x 1 I don't have many either!! And that's from a few weeks ago

I will buy some of those gloves soon...

My signature's still not working!

I love darkened farthings, much nicer than the bright ones. I have a 1901 UNC one, that i'm very proud of!

Aha, I've found it now. Æ!

I didn't know you had some of them (goes off to have a look at the accessory shop...)! Where are they, I can't seem to find them, can you give me the URL?

How strange, it dosn't look like it's been made with a mould!

Here are his 'Forum Rules'

How on earth did you create that?! Oli's just too kind!

How about this... "I watched the film but I didn't like it"

Practically everything to do with weddings is expensive...

Yeah, I didn't know a thing about Chinese coins until I started this thread, and now I know a lot!

I'm considering buying some of them, do you know where to get them, I would be very interested...

I don't think even your Nan would buy something that bad.

I also hold mine between my finger and thumb, but only round the edges . I hold them over a padded case incase I drop them.

I have a strange coin with a twenty on it. The date is 1894. On the obverse there is a coat of arms that I don't recognise. What country is this from? How much is it worth? Picture below vvvvv

Yes, the people I sit next to in IT are pathetic typers. Some do it with one finger, some use both, but whatever they do, it's always as slow as Hell, I get desperate watching them try to find the key they are looking for! PS: I do type with two hands
