Penny Acquisition of the week
blakeyboy replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I just bought the 1913 F176 that Martinminerva ( don't know how to make that stand out in blue) was selling- I'm really really pleased with it. -
They are low grade- is that ok?
-
No- I looked earlier. That '5' on yours is really interesting- what the hell is underneath???
-
Both of my 'dots below the I' are the small date too!

This has just sold for £797. I can't find anything about it- I can't find it in Krause. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/China-1926-20-cent-Dragon-amp-Phoenix-ref-HRC-16-/284351166847?hash=item4234a6797f%3Ag%3AJ8cAAOSwRIlg2f8i&nma=true&si=vmD7EGpQa9qpEyRVsfXWdWanlsw%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Is this a fake? just a token?

Nice one. Glasgow is 'abroad' now?

Remember when you had labels for instructing record shop staff on the back of the LP? This should have a label saying 'File under Comedy'.....:-)

This is almost worthy of an entry in the 'Nothing to do with coins' area.....:-)

1903 'open 3' penny and 1903 florin
blakeyboy posted a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Is it just me, or are the '3's' in the 1903 open 3 penny and the 1903 florin very similar? If any member has an example of both, it may be worth measuring the size of the '3', and if they are the same size, it's not beyond imagination that the open 3 penny occurred because someone picked up the florin punch by mistake? If this has been discussed before, apologies- this idea just occurred to me, and I can't find it in a search of the site..... -
1903 'open 3' penny and 1903 florin

Yes, I think you are right ( I've alerted the media) but it's the coincidental change of style that intrigues me... -
1903 'open 3' penny and 1903 florin
blakeyboy replied to blakeyboy's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Yes, maybe, depending on wear ( any open 3 pennies around in that condition? ) but I do think it's a strange coincidence - that 3 appearing in a new style, and a very few pennies being done the same.... -
1903 'open 3' penny and 1903 florin
blakeyboy replied to blakeyboy's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Oh yes- foreign stuff...forgot about that. It does seem odd that this style of 3 pops up on two coins at once.... -

I've been meaning to go to Powis Castle for years and years and still haven't.... -
It looks like you have two different chemical processes going on anyway....you have the greying, but also that greenish finish on the neck and behind the head. I have a feeling that one will remain and stand out unpleasantly. I would go as far as a brush with soap, or maybe a solvent, but no dipping.....

That dentist looked down in the mouth about the Covid situation, still, if they work hard and become famous, they may earn a Blue Plaque.

A couple of weeks ago I watched a programme about Mel Brooks- ancient now, and still loud, and nutty as a fruit cake. Then they showed Blazing Saddles. So refreshing. More of that type of anti-racist stuff please.
-
Yes. That's why I mentioned it. Caused giggles in the '70's when racist humour was all the rage.

I'll stop you going to them Youth Clubs.....

Wow - well spotted!!! 10 points. It's odd- no obvious shill bidding, a mix of bidders, the back on ebay at a buy it now...... what's going on?

Their ads are excoriating. Such overpriced tat, a mock 'official' mint, and poor idiots 'investing'.....makes the Franklin Mint look like Walt Disney..... -

Is that a Gin Palace in the distance? -

Ah yes- but has your, what sounds like a North facing front garden, got a big sky? Our friend has a newish farmhouse, and the back is North facing, but huge sky. It's amazing what does well there - sun-loving stuff I struggle with in my small south-facing back garden. Big big sky makes things so much easier.
