    Halfpennies and farthings

    Half Penny Jon replied to smudge's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    It's very interesting to see how they did things back then isn't it. I didn't actually know that one, well, you learn a new thing every day as they say...................

    I want one of these

    Half Penny Jon replied to custard1966's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    Nice coin Chris! Well done!
  4. Half Penny Jon
    That is a wonderfully preserved coin! A credit to numismatics!

    How do you store your coins?

    Half Penny Jon replied to mint_mark's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    I have decided to expand my collection to 1970 so that will fill up six trays! After that I will probably move into victorian farthings or victorian halfpennies (copper). I also have one 50mm tray so I might be ambitious and fill that with wreaths!

    I finally got my cabinet today! The delay was caused by the construction of two monster cabinets for a museum. It looks brilliant! The sheen is beautiful, I would reccomend that every collector shell out a bit of money just to get one, I cannot commend them any higher!

    In this month's coin news, it features the story of a collector who, when he was an 11 year old boy, got an Edward VIII brass 3d in his change! He recalls thinking to himself that he had never seen one before when he saw it for the first time! He did the worst thing he could have done......he spent it at the sweet shop! I wish I could get one in my change!

    It hasn't sold yet though JMD.
  9. Half Penny Jon
    It could have been a hammered coin............
  10. Half Penny Jon
    Which coin would this be.........if it was a new coin, the numismatic community would have been informed surely. It would have definately been very famous if it sold for that much.

    Uncirculated Coins

    Half Penny Jon replied to colliewalker1's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    Sometimes, UNC coins show signs of wear such as cabinet friction or an edge knock. Even though they would have not been in circulation, we have to assume that they are EF or AUNC because we do not know the history of the coin.

    Yet another rarity!

    Half Penny Jon replied to Half Penny Jon's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    No it didn't, it didn't sell! I think that the seller was asking a bit too much.

    Yet another rarity!

    Half Penny Jon replied to Half Penny Jon's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    Yes, I saw that, it was heavily toned with hints of lustre however they still slabbed it MS65 RD! Rather than RB.

    Yet another rarity!

    Half Penny Jon replied to Half Penny Jon's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    I bet that it will go over £4000.

    Stop using the smilie with every post JMD, it is very annoying primarily because people think that you are being sarcastic all the time.
