  1. No, the first two coins are not BUNC as they do not display the full mint lustre. They are very bright, but they do not have that glossy reflection that the ones placed on later do have. I would describe the farthings as EF-EF+

    Well, he says he's honest, so I guess that clinches it then!..
  6. Hi Dave, welcome in and, NO we won't buy any dodgy sovs from ya..
  7. If it had been worth much, how come it has not been taken out of circulation before this point in time?

    1856 farthing

    More to the point, how did the coin get so ugly?
  9. Charles II of Spain 1694 Liard from Flanders (Spanish Netherlands) David It's just a very common Nuremberg Jeton. More information in this link where there's an explanation of the lettering on some of these. http://www.mernick.org.uk/Bexley/article3.htm

  11. HistoryTreasures

    Is there anything at all we can do

    But hey it's fashionable, I'm getting all my Aethelread pennies that are genuine stamped with "REPLICA" just so I can put them on eBay!..
  12. Does anybody know why my George III Sixpence happens to have wavy edges like this? I am befuddled...
  13. HistoryTreasures

    George III Sixpence with wavy edges!?..

    Thanks, But I thought I managed to google one which seemed to have normal, circular but 'straight' edges earlier. What an intrigiuing design..

    Getting good value from Selling !

    Best way to sell is by selling them to me at good prices I'll know what to do with them!

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I take it this might be filed down hahaha! Since when do you get errors like this one is alleged to be?.. corr.. must be worth thousands! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Canada-George-V-One-Cent-1914-Interesting-Error-rev-/190434780129?pt=UK_Coins_World_RL

    ID a very strange token?

    I honestly haven't got a clue what this is: it's just about the strangest thing I've seen!
  19. Vicky, I think the value would be exactly the same, in merry ole' England. That's the thing with these big auction houses, they attract so much attention that it makes little difference what country it is being sold in.

    ID a very strange token?

    Hehe..nice to know it's probably worthless, modern crap!

    ID a very strange token?

    Hmf..just why is the ship missing its boughs?
  22. HistoryTreasures

    ID a very strange token?

    I wondered if it was something like, if you transpose the second image on top of the first to fill in the spaces that seem to be missing from the ship, you form a complete image?... but it doesn't look right...a mystery LOL

    11957 Half Crown

    Kids only being able to afford 8 quid these days? haha..!
  24. What do you guys think about this coin, does it look real to you? It feels odd, doesn't feel or sound metallic and doesn't smell of anything!
