My name is David, I collect coins

Guess I'm still a newbie, coming up to 5 years David

like this 20p

I like that

That would be an interesting pattern/essai with the reverse legend "Watch this space"

Good guide, there are many coins that are low cost in the catalogues purely because there are no sales records Try finding one of these - a circulation issue 1883 2 centavos from Bolivia mintage 250,000 Krause VG $3.50, F $7.50, VF $15, XF $50, Unc $85 You can always find a proof though:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1883-BOLIVIA-2-CENTAVOS-ESSAI-UNC-PLAIN-EDGE-/281283702313?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item417dd0ae29 The same holds true for many copper minors even of supposedly common 20th century issues, mintage is no guide to availability David

reverse of the pattern I wonder what the mintage is, are these going out to the vending machine industry? David

i don't know any Shetlanders, but my Orcadian friends feel far more Scandinavian than Scottish Islands referendum petition launched David

I suspect that is an actual pattern, wonder what's on the reverse

And edge on bit of a squeeze when they get to 2038 MMXXXVIII, maybe we'll be using Euros or even Roubles by then And can we have proper thrupenny bit smooth and sharp corners please?

I can see micro-variety fans having a field day with missing bits of micro script

I'm so confused. What is this half-American, half-English coin?! Opens up a new category for collecting Listed in category: Coins > Coins > British > Hammered (Pre-c.1662) > Tudor Coins (1485-1603)

There's a story (possibly an urban myth) that a second copy of the "rarest" stamp the British Guiana Magenta 1 cent was bought and destroyed by the owner of the only known copy David

What will this do to US coin prices? “Stack’s West 57th Street Collection” c Be fun to sort through though

I resort to sending Euro or Dollar notes from the Post Office, for such a small amount, never had a problem

Some more early double tournois from France Henri III 1588 T Nantes Henri IV - but in the name of Charles X - rival claimant of the Catholic League. 1594 S Troyes David

My worn example David

I don't think any bronze coins entered circulation in 1960, given the technical difficulties Watt & Co were having David

Who says design standards are falling? David

Lots of Asian specialists at World of Coins David

see an even sillier case here - "For in the description the seller had put that this was an Ilkhan silver coin, minted in the 13th century in the Tabriz region. And Tabriz that's in the heart of darkness in American eyes: IRAN !!! So PayPal immediately blocked this evil attempt to evade trade restrictions with Iran."

I assume Iran is also on their list. any others? Could try buying that IOM crown with a Persian cat design
