Can I recommend the book Zucked which tells just how much Facebook manipulates its users? -
What percentage of pre decimal currency was reclaimed by the RM post 15.2.1971?
Peckris 2 replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
There are quite a lot of complicating factors: most but not all coins containing silver were hoarded or withdrawn much earlier the craze for 'modern' began in 1966 with the government announcement of impending decimalisation and the 1967 date freeze : obvious rarities / scarcities were taken out by collectors, though many scarce varieties didn't come to light until after the event, and this applies to all denominations halfcrowns and halfpennies were demonetised in 1969; most 1925 and 1930 halfcrowns had long gone, the scarcity of many Unc 1950s halfcrowns only emerged quite late, there would have been few around. Apart from those, they are both denominations notably lacking in rarities florins, shillings, and sixpences carried on in circulation until 1992, 1990, and 1980 respectively; probably nearly all still in circulation got withdrawn - higher % than for 1971 I would say as there would have been little interest (and 'of interest') by then only pennies and 3d bits were withdrawn in 1971; probably the majority of 3d's were withdrawn as the scarce dates would have been collected. This leaves pennies which as always leave more questions than answers finally an unknowable but probably quite substantial (judging from the many rubbish lots at W&W in the 90s) quantity of postwar predecimals was saved in tins, pots, jars, Whitman folders, cheap albums, boxes, and god knows what else, as keepsakes by non-collectors. -
have you seen the price of a kew gardens ?
Peckris 2 replied to craigy's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
A gift to a non-collector, I'd imagine. -
I found that through a search for '1953 penny' and it was the first item. But no mention that there were two earlier patterns - where did you get that information from?

Yes, the wear pattern is totally abnormal. -
1877 Narrow Date Penny

Very clumsy! 30 seconds examining any penny from 1937-39 would have revealed that Geo VI pennies use a flat top 3. -
1877 Narrow Date Penny

As long as you can tell whether the obverse / reverse combination is either London or Birmingham, then you can say which it is. If iit's so poor you can't tell, then safe to assume it's Birmingham. -

Unfortunately, in accordance with all the sad gits who insist August MUST be 08 and not 8, that won't work. 😄 -

Peckris 2 replied to 1949threepence's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Unfortunately, it all depends on the horrendous habit of putting a zero in front of a single digit month. I used to be a computer programmer and I know how easy it would be to add that zero behind the scenes, but suppress it from the display. For me, today's date is 2/2/2020. -

Didn't Scott (where is he?) get one of these very cheap in a lot from eBay? -

Sorry, my reply was ambiguous. I meant to say that the photos were there, but the important part was covered over with the orrible logo. -
