What coins would have been buried
argentumandcoins replied to ShaggyBFC's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
That's a mighty assumption re Roman. They could have been anything from ancient to Foreign (not forgetting tokens as mentioned by Pete). The most probable answer would be GB copper coinage as any bag at any auction always has the ubiquitous 1806 halfpenny, 1797 penny etc in it. Copper coins became obsolete in 1860 with the switch to the smaller and lighter bronze coins. -
I wouldn't stress about it. I'm 90% sure the 1850 is a fake. The seller is a lying twat as a quick check of his feedback shows sales of "key date" George II shillings over a year ago. If a deal looks too good to be true......

Token publishing sell the DVD version Pete but I much prefer books. -
It's actually 2450 results featuring a good few of my own tokens Worth remembering they are ebay prices and a seller can only go down in price not up
-
VF or thereabouts from the pics. Presentable enough coin if the price was right for you.

Another low grade coin with recuts visible on 846. The 8 and 4 as expected but the 6? Looks like it's over a 0 to me but it could just be the remnants of last nights malt causing confuddlement.......

It was aye. I saw plenty of rabbits in my time but none on any roof in Warrington -
1846 sixpence. 6/0?
argentumandcoins replied to argentumandcoins's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
The underlying 4 is higher than the recut and higher than the other example I have. -

I spent 15 weeks in Warrington in 1996 training to be a cop, during which time I drank in multiple bars before heading to the Shag Raft (Showboat) or Smiths. I don't remember much about the lessons in class as I slept through most of the morning ones.... -

I don't know about lost but I once got that hammered in Mr Smiths nightclub that I flashed the gatehouse my cashpoint card instead of my warrant card as I swayed through the centre gates -
1846 sixpence. 6/0?
argentumandcoins replied to argentumandcoins's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
Yes the 0 is more elongated having checked against another. Either a sideways/inverted 6 or a trick of the eye! Re the last 2 my thought was that the chap responsible was clearly having a bad day so could well have made a hash of the 6. -

It's another strange one. The original 4 was clearly very high. -

Getting back on thread, most of them at some point in time. When at Police training centre Bruche (Warrington) all of the rooms were en suite (they all had a sink built into the wardrobes). -
Great Britain Whitman Folders
argentumandcoins replied to Atif's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Frank, firstly you're replying to a post that was written 9 years ago (not much chance of them still wanting folders that are common) and secondly every spambot in the world will pick up your email address and flood you (suggest deleting your replies). -
Just goes to show that if you buy slabbed coins you should leave your eyes (and brain) at the door on the way into the shop. AU50 must mean less than VF on PCGS does it? I'm no expert on that issue but if I was grading on appearance it would come in around Fine.

Not really Mike, "a fool and their money" is a very old saying and applicable more so than ever! -
1825 Roman 1 Shilling. Is it 1 over inverted 1?
argentumandcoins replied to argentumandcoins's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The 1 looks Roman in hand but holding it on an angle you can clearly see it's an inverted Arabic 1. The inverted 1 stands proud so was presumably punched first as it is deeper in the die. -
1825 Roman 1 Shilling. Is it 1 over inverted 1?
argentumandcoins posted a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I recently found one of the above in a bulk lot from auction. It's only Fair but the first one that I have had in stock. Having had a good look under the glass I am wondering if ESC et al have (and continue to) incorrectly assumed what the coin actually is? The first bust Shilling uses an Arabic 1 so where did the Roman 1 appear from? Apologies if already established but I cannot find any reference ont tinternet to it. -

Alexander111 Half penny
argentumandcoins replied to Tony Tonnison's topic in Enquiries about Non British coins
Probably around the £100 mark. Difficult to accurately value as they are not a huge collecting area so sometimes rarity does not equate to cash worth. -
Alexander111 Half penny
argentumandcoins replied to Tony Tonnison's topic in Enquiries about Non British coins
The internet is not much use re Scottish coinage as there is rarely much of it available online. The Spink 2015 guide gives a higher value for the 5 points over the 6 so that would indicate that it is the least common type. -
