    Maybe it was just me, but many of the images did seem almost identical. I didn't complain, but then you made the remark about a lack of responses, so I just theorised about why that might be? Good luck anyway

    I think that must be it.

    My 2009 first edition has some colour pictures it's true, but the majority are black and white. Is this new edition all in colour, or is it the same as the 2009?

    I found maybe 3 or 4 as a schoolboy in the late 60s, and only because few people knew about it (an issue of Coin Monthly in 1968 first drew my attention to it). Sadly my examples are in average circulated condition - high grade examples seem few and far between.

    I was referring specifically to this thread, not your others.

    Get a room, you two...

    Washing works with silver but not with bronze unfortunately. You could try bathing it in light olive oil for a few days but not for too long.

    I rather think the silence may be more down to the sheer flood of posts and pictures you've made just recently? I got halfway through yesterday and then gave up.

    It's an acceptable example, but shame about the green.

    But ... but ... I AM Spartacus!!

    I stand corrected, but there was a big change in the 1880s so in that sense my point stands. but

    Your coin is not the "normal pairing" apparently (from those pictures), but shares the same pairing as the I over T - which suggests that more than one die was used for that pairing.

    Crucifixions weren't done on a cross but on something that resembled a capital T !

    Very popular. I remember as a schoolkid in the late 60s that Whitman folders and Sandhill cases were THE main holders for coin sets - the Whitmans for date runs, the Sandhill for type or year sets.

    "During the Victorian era, coining presses were entirely mechanical. " Really? I thought that around 1882 they changed over to electrical, which is why virtually the entire 1882 penny mintage was done by Heatons while they were converting?

    yes, now I think it's 5+G which makes me doubt what mine is (my picture is a blow up of a lifesize scan, so it's not clear). However I think mine is more likely to be 5+G also, as the features for Reverse E simply don't ring true.
  17. Peckris 2
    I have the Obverse 5 1861 halfpenny (the dink in the forehead is the giveaway), but pretty sure the shield and lighthouse are different. In my database it's listed as 5+G which means yours would be 5+.E ?

    The 1887 shilling is arguably the most common Victorian coin, even in high grade - the sixpence is also very common but at least you have two types to collect.

    What is the American MS64 - our GVF?
  20. Peckris 2
    No tears, but sadly the RM has already inherited their mantle.
  21. Peckris 2
    Yes, it's a toy 3d (Victoria JH) made by Lauer one of the pre-eminent companies of such things - German?
  22. Peckris 2
    I don't know WHAT years! Nor can I see the condition. Why don't you post pictures of YOUR coins?
  23. Peckris 2
    Ah, I thought these were YOUR coins. Perhaps you could post pictures of your coins? In other words, the reverse (to see the condition), and the edge. For now, I stand by my opinion that the 3 coins in that picture have general wear, but the other one doesn't.
  24. Peckris 2
    Good points, but on the other hand there are still stamp, postcard, audio cassette, model car, etc, collectors. I think there are many areas of collecting where the object itself is long out of fashion, yet the 'collecting gene' needs to be fulfilled.
  25. Peckris 2
    I would grade as GEF with lustre. Some might say AUnc, and I wouldn't quarrel too much with that, there's virtually no trace of wear.
