My best buy would have to be the 1688 James II half guinea, bought it one and half years ago for £225, and now looking in the coin catalogue it's worth about £375-£400 Best buy ever.

1988 proof sovereign
Sylvester replied to newgold's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
It's the copper mixed in with the gold that tones... gold coins with any slightly unmixed copper in them will begin to tone. And gold coins can even develop verdigris. -
Wow! and who'd have thought that Churchie would have been in my 500th post...!!!

I don't know about that Chris... we'd be doomed with twenty odd Sylvester imitators running around. Hands off my sixpence...

I doubt many of the 5p's will still be out, i think the novelty will have worn off by now and they'll be pretty much in circ. The pennies on the other handhave been round alot longer and many will have been lost, damaged, destroyed, hoarded, thrown down wells... That and i don't tend to see all that many of them. 1971 2p's on the other hand seem far more prevalent, even though they are of a slightly lower mintage. -

my advice to you don't look at 1971 pennies... -
Well by definition they couldn't be in the same condition, as UNC and EF are two different conditions/grades. Both very good grades, EF being one below UNC, but the fact is the UNC would sell for more, cos it's the better grade.

From a coin collecting point of view, name your favourite 5 monarchs (they don't have to be English/British)... (monarchs that have the best designs, nicest coins etc...) Mine would be; (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER) 1) James II 2) Charles II 3) Stephen 4) William IV 5) Queen Mary, or perhaps Richard II? (I need a coin from both of these, hopefully a gold coin from the latter... one day, one day).

I guess we could use them as landfill/hardcore stuff that they bury under the foundations of buildings? Or how about as ballast under railway sleepers for super effective drainage? -

Actually it's probably gonna be easier to get a full set of Gothic Florins in BU than it is to eliminate the Churchill Crown almost entirely from the numismatic collecting pool. -

I want to be the Crown crusher. My aim in life is to make the Churchill Crown a rarity, now how many would i have to destroy to get it to that level?
