Unc 20th century farthings are always available. A particular year might not necessarily be to hand, but you shouldn't have to wait long for one to turn up if you look hard enough.

An 1867 die 2 shilling where someone has engraved an elephant on the relief.

For a quid, it doesn't really matter that it has light wear and a bit of verdigris in the border teeth. If in doubt, get two - one unc, one not

From the latin for ring - anulus. They can appear in pairs or singly, and can be large or small, complete or broken. It all helps with the chronology.

Thanks.

So somebody has taken the gold description at face value and paid about scrap for it. I echo TG's comment.

You can count the number of proofs on one hand or so. Not the best picture, but this is the ex-Norweb coin. In the hand, proofs and currency are like chalk and cheese.

Got to get me one of those. I don't have a disgracefully worn base metal counterfeit shilling weighing 4.4g. If it was gold and scrap, anybody should realise that the best way you realise value is to sell it to a bullion dealer. Nobody would bid over the odds for scrap on eBay, or at least they shouldn't do if they had any sense.

Forget it. The other years advertised from him also use the 1953 obverse, so you can have a full date run with the wrong obverse - not. I guarantee you won't receive what is pictured. He probably sold a 1953 at some time.

Until you are looking for one.......... coz you sure aren't going to find most of them in your change when you need one. I concur regarding the first bit though.

Desperate need for a high resolution image of a York 1D halfcrown please, should anyone have one. The picture I'm stuck with at the moment is that in Besly's 1984 BNJ article (see below) which is worse than useless. The BM's isn't imaged on line and nor is the Hunterian's. I'm basically hoping that someone has the Brooker coin, otherwise it will be a case of trying to persuade the Yorkshire Museum to give me a picture or allow me to take one as I sure aint going to pay the BM £50 a side at the last count for pictures. Please, anybody, even if you have the grotty one in Glens 13th March 1974 lot 316.

Anybody with examples of Oxford 1643 or 1644 coins, any denominations, which have larger central plumes than the two either side above the declaration - pictures please. i.e halfcrowns with 1643 obverses H to L and reverses 22 to 29. Any 1644 halfcrowns with obverses A through to I and reverses 3 to 18, 21, 23, 25, 27-30, 32, 8a, 17a, 27a, 28a. That's 15 obverses and 35 reverses to aim for, so plenty of scope to help. I would also like any images of reverse 26, the one where the large plume has been rubbed down and a small one substituted in its place, this paired with a C1 obverse. Smaller denominations dated 1644 with three lis, the centre one being slightly larger would also be of use. A few dies only here. Obviously there are sites such as Lloyd Bennett with a large number of images, but I am looking for any that aren't imaged on his site, or that are much bigger even if pictured there. An example of the reverse design I am looking for is attached. Thanks in advance.

I would suspect not given the price of a typical thing on Alibaba is a quid or so. That doesn' cover the silver cost.

On balance though it is going to be mostly silver and kosher, or no silver and iffy.

£1.65 is less than a pint. It's hardly going to break the bank. Most people pee that money away on a daily basis.

Somebody is having a laugh, either at the mint in 1965, or post mint in a shed somewhere. The obverse is the 1953 one with BRITT OMN. Where is the coin? If on ebay, then someone is probably pulling a fast one. If you have it, then you should be able to check for a join where one side has been dropped into the other (probably the obv looking at the beading). If on ebay for a quid, then buy it and satisfy your curiosity. It aint right whatever

The thing is though, 'jospereir' has a few of the double sided ones available. Chances of receiving 3 in change is somewhere south of zero, so he's making them, and that is a criminal act. I'd be tempted to say he also made the one with three missing bits - perish the thought.

OK, I thought you had to be a member of Facebook and a 'friend' to connect to others. Thanks, so it's not necessarily malicious and could even possibly be a sensible discussion. That hadn't occurred to me.

A query. Why would my website report that Facebook referred a visitor to my site when I don't have an account with them? Facebook or someone at FB trying to access the account? I don't have or want anything to do with FB, so they would have no reason to do this as far as I can see and without an account I didn't ought to exist in their mind.

Charles I F3/1 shilling with a legend error. They appear to have had a bad time around the anchor period (8th May 1638 - 4th July 1639), because there is also a CHRISO error (cf. Brooker 519) and sixpences, both regular and Briot issues reading CHISTO. It's a common type, but obviously scarcer with the error.

I've had two sales this week off the site - both fraudulent. Get more of those than genuine sales. People must think you were born yesterday, like the idiot 5 years ago who made two purchases 13 months apart giving a different address, but only changed the last digit on his mobile contact number, and then 6 months after that made a third purchase but used the same email address he had used 19 months previously. Sometimes you fear for the mental capacity of this country.

I did notice that everything on the recipe pages was accessible through links. My programming skills aren't up to putting ads in though. I'm not sure I can relate to or cope with social media either. Maybe one day...... Sorry John. The topic in the op has wandered off course - not for the first time.

Apposite seller id though. Wollongongcashexpress will more than adequately summarise his cash flow if he can sell at those prices.

That certainly saves a lot of legwork. Presumably having ad-blocker installed would not count as a view? If it doesn't then I can see the potential from the poster's side. I have made 9539 posts as I write. Where's my cut?

D over B in the obverse legend.
