Going to Euro...

I hope that we don't because I prefer our system which is and will always be the best in the world! -

The 1903 half penny in BU that I bought from Colin Cooke came today but no one was home when it arrived so I have to go and pick it up tommorrow . I hope it looks good when I do eventually get it! -

Well done william, also, you might one day become a fellow slanley or Nicholson so don't give up on it! -

I would buy a BU coin but I would like it to have a pedigree. You never know, one day our coins may be worth more due to the fact that they have graced our cabinets! -
what is your favourite decimalised coin (british)?
Half Penny Jon replied to Master Jmd's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
There are many different designs for modern coins however there are hardly any varieties for those designs. So that is why I think that coin prices will continue to soar because no one will want to collect decimal coins. -

I don't know. However, I keep all my nicer coins in coin capsules in Lindner coin trays. I think this helps keep them grime free due to the dryness of the air inside the capsules. I think I also read somewhere that you shouldn't keep them in a hot atmosphere.

I store my coins in a dry atmosphere. I think I read somewhere that a dry atmosphere helps prevent that horrible nuisance!

I have just ordered the coin online. I just couldn't help myself, it is in the best condition that I have ever seen in the Edward VII series! It will hopefully make a nice addition to my collection of BU half pennys from 1900-1936. -

My ideal collection would be the best examples possible preferably with pedigrees. I would definately pay more for a pedigree eg. slanley, nicholson, adams etc. -

I would of course prefer the one which has graced the outstanding and marvellous collection of that marvellous man Dr. Nicholson however due to forces beyond my control, it has been sold!!!!!!! -

I don't think that it is from the Dr. Nicholson collection because the halfpenny from that collection is displayed on another section of his website. The halfpenny pictured above is much better than the Dr. Nicholson one. The link to the collection is below: My Webpage -

It is way over the Spink price of £5 but if you think it's worth it then you should buy it. -

Thank you Chris, I know that Colin usually prices his coins at just above catalogue value however in this case, it is worth it in my opinion. -
