A toned 1936! It does really look kosher though.
-
Yes, it's not scientific I realise, but I've seen more lustred 35s than toned. Mind you, the toned examples were nowhere near as dark as that one.

It's just a cud, not actually part of her hair at all.

Stuff to Make Us Laugh
Peckris 2 replied to Madness's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
I heard the same joke about the Beckhams and a taxi driver when they've just returned from New York. David is going on about a great restaurant in NY where loads of celebs go. The driver asks its name. David's brow furrows. "Think of mainline London railway stations." "Euston?" "Nah, another.." "Paddington?" "Nah, that wasn't it." "Victoria?" "Yeah! That's it! Victoria, what was the name of that restaurant we liked in New York?" -
London and Llantrisant 1965-1970
Peckris 2 replied to Mr T's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
There's a mid-70s medallion commemorating the London Mint, so that might have been around its demise? -
That was the first book to specifically include the 1946 ONE' PENNY as a specific variety (i.e. more than a footnote) with a rarity and a value. He rated it scarcer than the 1926ME.

London and Llantrisant 1965-1970
Peckris 2 replied to Mr T's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I can imagine Llantrisant must have had a lot of spare capacity from 1972 on, given the much lower requirements for currency decimals. I am surprised that the 1970 sets weren't struck by London though. -
Wow. Are we talking about the A4 blue volume divided into 3 sections horizontally? If so, I'll have to keep hold of mine!

Golfer drives his Rolls Royce to a country petrol station to fill up. When he goes to pay, a few tees drop out of his wallet. The clerk is very surprised, never having seen the like. "What be they, zurr?" he askes. The golfer drawls "Oh, they're tees. For putting your balls on when driving off." The clerk looks very impressed. "Well zurr, Rolls Royce they thinks of everything don't they?" -
Wonderful man, and he saved his best till last. RIP Sir Tom.

1923 Half crown I missed
Peckris 2 replied to bagerap's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Forgive me if I state something in the "bleedin' obvious" category: if they are die scratches then surely the resulting flaws would be raised not incuse? -

Apparently, you can "save" 60% on this 1787 sixpence https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1787-UK-Great-Britain-United-Kingdom-KING-GEORGE-III-Silver-Sixpence-Coin-i88107/233874301238?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20201210111314%26meid%3Deb86fc7adf024cb8bb07eb719563d77c%26pid%3D101195%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dpf%26sd%3D284164234670%26itm%3D233874301238%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLv5PairwiseWebWithDarwoV3BBEV2b&_trksid=p2047675.c101195.m1851

1923 Half crown I missed
Peckris 2 replied to bagerap's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
1923 is the easiest date in that series. -
London and Llantrisant 1965-1970
Peckris 2 replied to Mr T's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I might be wrong about the 1972 set then - Coin Monthly adverts pre-76 would confirm. -
It is definitely the rarest 1971 penny dated 2016...
-
I can just make out the O - the G would be underlying if an error overstruck? Also, errors of that kind so late (i.e. after Mint electrification) are vanishingly rare except for dates. Interesting though.

London and Llantrisant 1965-1970
Peckris 2 replied to Mr T's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Yes - I think the sequence was probably: 1971, 1972, 1970... then a gap before 1973 - 1976 were issued more or less all together? -

London and Llantrisant 1965-1970
Peckris 2 replied to Mr T's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The 1970 proofs weren't struck until after D Day and possibly quite a bit after that? It's quite possible that 2 Mints were therefore used, though given the numbers involved I'd have thought that was extremely inefficient. As for the '1968 halfpenny', that used obverse dies from 1956 so maybe they were using old dies in London prior to demonetisation? -
1875 F79 Penny
Peckris 2 replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I've heard it said an UNC 1864 is rarer than an UNC 1869. -
Indeed - there's a gold Victorian sov in one tin. Is a "restrike" of a gold coin also in gold?

Fake? Whatever next? -
Yes, but not the current currency ones, and they are the ones that could (should) be abolished.
