Managed to get it on, I have cropped it to show the main things im looking at and will send full image to Colin as he has so kindly offered. Jr

Yes I did that, only problem here is that the weather is too hot. ive seen maybe 3 or 4 snow flakes only!!

Hello everyone, Taken my time away and now im back. looking forward to getting my new 2007 book Chris.

what is sex again??? been married for a while now

keep yer hands of the sheep they are all mine................. goes away for a walk in his wellies

Yeah only if people would stop sniping lol

I bet he was happy. Best things i get in change nowadays is the 1988 £1. I see different coins all the time as i empty the vending machines at work but never get enough time to look at them carefully. On another note, the Beta site is good, very good! Need more farthings on there as i have all the ones that you have I desperately need an 1844 . Colin Cooke dont even have one (bought quite a few from them)

Chris, Do you have another one of them? Just curious, if i had one id be scared to sell it. Any chance of the loose change you get over the 4k? Its a coin many can only ever dream of owning.

Yes please, Probobaly visited it already though Best place in Edinburgh are the second hand shops and car boot sales to be honest. JAmes

I also have a 25/5 the higher one and i thought it was the 3 as well. but deffo a higher 5, cant get a good pic to post

i have a fair bit of Victorian but concentrating on Farthings at present, Some of the rarer ones there are hard to get..... did pick up a nice 1863 at a car boot sale, a GEF, but i got it in an old purse for a quid so cant be far wrong. Could do with a help getting the 1844 though. James

My wifes starting to do that now as well

Only walking i ever done was with the metal detector, must have walked some miles then....... I was out at the weekend there and found an axe head!! Cumbria is a great place to walk though, lots of pubs to stop off in the countryside.

i may have a look when i go home at the weekend

i used to go metal detecting but thats all i found ----- metal coke can rings and rubbish.... did fnd a few hammered coins though, never looked at em cos im scared to clean them..... more interested in farthings anyways jr

Typical the some of the only coins missing for me are 1875 and 1877 i have the H ones lol

Hi all Just noticed a possible overstrike on a 1852 farthing If you look at the E in REG is has a double strike on E or Over an F Whats your thoughts on this as i cannot find it listed Cheers James

One day we will rule the WORLD!!!! then again probobaly not.

ws thinking of just putting the gold in box to be honest as i like palying wiv em

i have checked with my insurers (direct line) i gave them my "book" value of the coins (all undergraded) they advised me to look at a sfatey deposit box! I collect mainly 1/4d from as early as possible, gold, pennies, and silver 3d Alone on the farthings side of things i have just under £2000 worth, this is because i have managed topick up a few of the rare ones in excellent condition, namely 1863 & 1869 James

Forget the upside down F its not HERE is the VICTORIA' James

SPLIT R

BR pic also the has it

Can you have a look at your 1852's again as mine also has on BRITTANIAR the BR are doubled as well, kind of like as it it was missed. Gonna try scanning it later and if i can get a decent piccy will post here. Also Couple of varieties for you. 1864 VICTORIA' 1878 FARTHING the R leg is split 1878 (same coin) REG is R upside down F G Again i will try for better pics

She just watches my collection grow, she doesnt seem to mind the cost....yet! She spent a lot on coins at christmas for me of which i managed to get some cash back as he ripped her off. I started buying Sovereigns as an investment and she agreed, so im happy shes happy and if my coin account goes down i sell off a sovereign. I must have a very understanding wife----either that or stupid! her dad is a collector in france and his collection is massice and very expensive. so maybe thats why she doesnt mind.
