I had a spare (high grade) which I was in the midst of selling to Brian but he's disappeared off the radar. He had health issues, I hope he's ok. I very much doubt the rumour about some being 1980. I read that from 1953 all mintage figures relate to the number actually dated the year in question. What seems more likely is that as 1981 was the last currency strike of the large 10p (all subsequent issues were 'sets only') maybe many of them were never issued but were later melted down? That might account for them being so scarce now.

I used to have a Sassanid silver coin - 100 times better engraved than that horror!

Yes, I've seen that several times before. What's particularly disturbing is the weight of Tory members that know he's a complete dick, but just don't care. -
Ditto. Hadn't realised about the charity. Hat off.

Is the bottom falling out of the Penny market ?

Yes, it was probably egotistical Emperors who collected the artwork of their own visages on coins, and of the 'deities' their ancestors had become. -

One of Blo-Job's infamous quotes - "Scots should be exterminated" "All Liverpudlians have a victim mentality" (in relation to Hillsborough!) "picanninnies" "gangster letter boxes" etc etc.

Sometimes rarity alone is almost enough. Look at picture postcards (which are now sent as a tiny % of olden days), and vinyl records even before the resurgence of interest in new vinyl releases. Numismatics I believe is the oldest hobby going back hundreds, maybe 000's of years? -

Yes. His prices were fair with occasional bargains. I did have to return a couple of items to him and he never quibbled and always sent a prompt refund. -
Ian Blackford - without naming him explicitly - called him a racist. The Speaker warned him, then invited him to continue with his question. Ian Blackford didn't withdraw the 'insult' and wasn't warned again. Says it all really.

More likely is that it didn't meet reserve - maybe someone had expressed an interest if it didn't? -
It seems to be the "raised edge" proof which was .925. I don't know what you mean by 'pattern proof'?
-
This video shows the template editor being used quite extensively: (This is for LignUp Multi Collector - was that the software you trialled?)
-
Yes. You can see the 'raised edge' quite clearly on the reverse image. The legend on the obverse looks good, as do many features of the portrait, but not the hair. I think it's very much a coin that needs to be seen in hand. Currently up to £640 which seems rather tasty for a 1935 silver proof.

You're quite right - this is an old topic! Memories of the 1970s are more vivid than those of last year... -

That's not good from a leading company like Baldwin's - they describe one as "fine" when it's really little better than Fair (if at all).
