Difficult one that - if you look at the second L there is a huge top serif, much longer than you would normally expect. There does appear also to be a middle stroke on the first, but with so much corrosion wear that could be an anomaly. On the other hand, the bottom serif on the second L is different to that on all the E's. It could be that with the L and E looking quite similar, the wrong letter was picked up and punched and it could be as you say. The jury is out.

Agreed - but that's not "Facebook blocking those who aren't allowed access", that's whoever created a page or group setting their own rules as to openness or otherwise, the precise criteria for applying to join, whether moderators are involved or not. Sure, Facebook provides the toolbox that individuals can use, but FB don't decide who can or cannot join a group. In the case of coins, the group's owners / moderators would have to tread a fine line between wanting new blood (especially the young) and protecting existing members from would-be thieves and ne'er-do-wells.

Not very much better! After all, this is the person who doesn't realise that Bob Marley had an "e" in his name..

Sensibly graded too, though I'd say both faces were EF

Yes, I can well understand that. It's the same with brass 3d - the proportion of 46, 49, 50, 51 in relation to common dates is far higher than pre-71. In fact, with all 'key' dates collected in the late 60s.

I agree with your main point, but disagree about the 1912H - I found an absolute load of them from 68-70; there were actually 16M minted so they were never a scarce coin. They're the same mintage as 1922, twice as common as 1932.

You can actually see on the obverse where the artificial tone has been rubbed on.

Yes, but though they have misdescribed the obverse legend as GEORGIVS it's actually the GEORIVS rarity according to the picture.

No-one hasn't asked me not to quote your whole post so I haven't.. not.

Could be a partly blocked die?

They look exactly like my Mascle cabinet bought from Nicholls' in the 90s.

It's not even that!

You just have to admire the description: extremely common 2000 1p one penny coin - Circulated. Dispatched with Royal Mail 1st Class Letter. 2000 was the year of the new millennium which is pretty cool history to have and collect everyone (stupid people) thought the world would end 2000 is 19 years ago from today which means tha the coin can legally make love, drive a car and smoke a cigarette. cool coin the coin predates and has survived historical events such as 9/11, hurricane katrina, the 2008 economic collapse, michael jacksons death, the iraq & afghanistan wars, the creation of minecraft and the shut down of club penguin the coin has lived a long and happy life and is now ready to be a part of your collection along with other coin friends that it can chat too for the remainder of his days give the coin a home

They are BU sets though not marked as such. I believe you can edit your posts after you've made the minimum number. 25? 30? The 'Edit' button will appear, but only for a limited time.

Might have more luck if the price was reduced by a third to less than a grand.

What they need to come up with to replace cash, is a device that can be topped up with funds, in much the way as a PAYG phone is anonymous.

...may be the face that's aged o'ernight no trace of pleasure at her shite may be the treasure or the price I pay eBay

She.

Those all had the post-1874 obverse, so yes.

Looks like the 10p is a slightly scarce issue?

'Published' mintages (i.e. in catalogues and guides) are taken from the Mint's figures. There is no separate source. CCGB is your best bet for figures from the late 18thC.

"STUNNING TONE". True - the sight of it was like being struck with a blunt instrument. She was lucky to get £98 for it, with or without assistance...

I've now checked - it's also at the bottom of p108 of my 4th edition. He does say "very worn" so there's no way to check whether it was a homemade thing, like cleverly tooled 'double headers'.
