    It is an absolute myth Master JMD, I don't know who made it up, they must have been a complete idiot.

    Layout and design

    I only have one edition, the 2002 one which was sold to me by a dealer when I purchased a coin. I like the detail it goes into about certain varieties for both decimal and predecimal.

    Silly computer question

    My french teacher gave me a sheet which shows all of the letters with accents as well as other difficult letters. ç, é, è!
  5. I should imagine that they are circulated like every other coin.

    Some really ridiculous eBay listings

    They must be very sad to throw away money to Ebay and to do that when there is no point in doing it.

    The London coin Fair

    Its a shame that the fair cannot be accesable for everyone, it does howvever happen several times a year.

    The London coin Fair

    I am mainly looking for half pennys to fill my date gaps, I think there should be a nice selection of high grade ones there. I will try to be there for 8.30 or about that because I want to be the first person in line!

    The London coin Fair

    I've just booked flights, I'll be there on the other side of the tables, sharing one with my mate Richard. Last time I did very well, and it is huge, so it would be silly not to do it again. I shall see you there then Chris! P.S: What is the best time for collectors to arrive there to get the best stuff?

    1901 penny

    Excellent, I must admit, the pictures looked a bit wierd, must have been the lighting conditions.

    1933 penny

    Thanks for the help everyone, it would probably fetch a small fortune if it came onto the open market today!

    1901 penny

    Pictures can be decieving.

    1933 penny

    When was the last time that one came onto the open market, do you know?

    1933 penny

    Which type?
  22. Ah yes, maybe they were doing trials for patterns?
  23. It sounds very interesting, trial pieces are hard to come by sometimes. It sounds right that it is a trial piece because it was tested in 1969.

    1901 penny

    Has it got full lustre?
  25. I have never seen a trial peice for decimal coinage but the coin which you describe does indeed sound like a trial piece. Trial pieces are coins struck by the mint for testing purposes before they started to mint the new coins. Chris, can you add anything?
