    Possibly... as Rob said, the main give-away will be the weight and thickness. If you want a definitive answer, contact the Royal Mint and say you've got an odd coin that you would like verified, and they'll give you a name and address to post it off to. Will take about a month, but they'll give you a nice letter to say yes or no! Best bit is that the only cost to you is the initial postage!

    How about something like this... I realise is a pattern, but it means that some were officially struck...

    I'd go down Peter's £0.99 start with £1 P&P route initially... then anything that you've got left can be bundled together...

    Indeed - I've noticed a couple of lots recently that have been described as 'bright Unc' but have clearly been cleaned/dipped in the not too distant past... Mostly George III/IV, William IV and early Victoria silver... I often wonder what is used, as my silverware at home never comes up that bright!

    Whatever - it's a bloody gorgeous little coin Here here! And unfortunately way beyond my pockets at the moment

    You got as far as 6?! That deserves congratulations if nothing else! In answer to your questions in turn - Yes, I didnt get far enough to find out, and I think so in that you are not 'breaking' it! Though in my view, if putting a stamp on an envelope upside-down is treasonous, surely drilling a hole in Queenie's head should be as well?!

    Thats a good little haul! Enjoy the coin shop when you get there, but whatever you do dont tell the man how much money yuo have in your wallet!

    Milled, but very nice!

    Yes... not sure sheep have featured on any English coin have they?! And I always thought our Norman friend looks a bit grumpy on that issue!

    Its a hard slog with lots of bold and counter-bold - not quite to the level of the sign above of the door of Room 101, but getting close!

    Ski said something that Peck disagreed with, and both believe themselves to be right... Honours even after Round 1! There...! 18 words and a number!

    Well, happy birthday for tomorrow, and whatever coins you get, enjoy them!

    I think it depends on the individual value and what price you want for them! For instance, a couple of years ago I had a group of 6 very nice condition (EF or better) 1930s/40s farthings - cant remember the dates, so dont ask! Listed twice as a group for a tenner plus a quid P&P, and got no more than 2 watchers either time! Listed separately at a quid (plus a quid) each, and sold all 6 to a total of £23 plus P&P! Five even went to the same buyer!

    And from the same seller... NEWSFLASH!!! 2003 £2 coins are worth £4 plus £2 P&P!!! Where is the crying smilie when I need it?!

    Oh dear... someone clearly cant read!

    In fairness, he might mean the hard plastic that Natwest/Lloyds issued with it... that must be worth at least an extra 50p!

    Not sure I can be fagged with the hassle of ebay - having got the scales out, its going to be best part of £25 postage for 1st class! If worse comes to worst, I know that RCC doesnt have a copy in the library, so will speak nicely to our esteemed President/Chairman!

    Cool - waaay better than my grandad then! Best he managed (from his sock draw!) was a almost unidentifiable 1762 quarter guinea which someone had made a donut from! So much was missing from the middle, that only the width of the crown on the reverse remained!

    Do you know what the diameter is?

    Ahh ok... I got one of them too... a grandad see's London Mint Office/Westminster Coins etc adverts in the paper and insists on buying things for me! He nearly stopped when the 1818 crown that he bought me turned out to be a barely legible date rather than the aUnc picture!
  23. Cerbera100
    Westminster Coins sent me one of the Rhodium/platinum/gold-plated pennies for free... It's quite attractive in a strange way, but worth almost exactly what I paid for it! I have to ask though - if you didnt really want it, why did you buy it?!
  24. Cerbera100
    Woohoo! Seagulls for the Premiership! Sorry - I'll go lock myself in the cupboard again!
