If you were a millionaire......
Half Penny Jon replied to Half Penny Jon's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Ok, thank you for clearing that up. Btw, do you know who bought the double eagle last year? -
How long have you all been collecting (number of years). I have been collecting since I was 7 or 8 when my Grandad gave me all of his old coins he saved back in 1971 after decimalisation. That means that I have been collecting for 7 years.

What coins do you collect Edward? -

When I first looked at it, I thought it was UNC lustre with prooflike fields. That is the first time that I have seen an 1841 proof farthing. There is also a silver proof one but those are hardly ever seen.

Half Penny Jon replied to Master Jmd's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
There are two different varieties for the 1933 penny. The one which resembles all of the other pennies of the period is worth more. The other variety was a pattern. -
Wow, that's a nice selection of quality rarely offered. Does the 1795 set come in a case?

I don't think that I've broken any rules (if I have please inform me) however, my friends must have done. -
Was this a good buy?
Half Penny Jon replied to Master Jmd's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
That's absolutely true. What hits you is how ordinary it looks. Colin was quite happy to let me see it; on e advantage of being in touch with him is that you get to see quite a lot of things you can only dream about owning. BTW on eBay at the moment someone is selling what they claim to be an 1839 proof Manx farthing http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ssPageName=WDVW I wonder what Colin would have done if you dropped it! -
