Let's See Your Toned English Milled Silver!

If the result had been to remain (in the same proportions), would you still be suggesting a compromise? The vote was only close in percentage terms - the difference was 1.4 million people, which is a huge number of people.
-
Seems to me that obstructing the declared will of the people is a dangerous course of action for any MP.
-
Especially when they can legally pardon themselves, although that would be an admission of guilt. Apparently Nixon considered pardoning himself, but he needn't have worried since the following President Gerald Ford did it for him.

In perfect condition, worth about 50 pence.

Thanks. Always useful to know what other collectors find desirable.
-
Purely speculation on my part. Do you know it to be fact?
-
I wouldn't go as far as calling it news. I suspect the only nugget of truth in that article is "He wouldn’t give the value of the assets sold.". Remind me again what has happened to UK investments since the vote to leave...

If the faker was diligent though they would use contemporary raw materials to produce the copy (eg melted down low grade coins of the right era) and then the trace elements would appear to be correct.

Rarest Silver Proof issued by the Royal Mint?
Nick replied to youliveyoulean's topic in Decimal Coins
Sorry, I don't really follow decimal coinage. However, I would imagine that some of the commemorative silver proof issues would have very low mintages, especially the non standard denominations (ie £10, £500). -
You're in a perfect position to take advantage. You get more for your money and the UK benefits from the increase in trade. Fill your boots while you can...

I take it you haven't been in the UK recently. Every broadcast media outlet in the UK is wall-to-wall doom and gloom. Any positive news is supplied with the caveat "despite Brexit" and anything negative is lauded with a "I told you so" smug look on the presenter's face. Anybody suggesting that the BBC is pro-Brexit is as far from the truth as it is possible to be.

Apologies for repeating your topic Michael. 0/10 for observation on my part. Thanks for merging the topics Matt. -
Queen Anne VIGO Five Guinea coin
Nick replied to Michael-Roo's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Found in a child's toy box. Makes you wonder what other "gems" are knocking about in unusual places. *Merged with existing thread* -
Rarest Silver Proof issued by the Royal Mint?
Nick replied to youliveyoulean's topic in Decimal Coins
No. The early proof sets (issued between 1826 and 1853) all have mintages less than 500, with 1853 being the rarest of the sets. -

Double headed sixpence
Nick replied to Duncan's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The year won't be known (it would have been on the reverse). If it has the current Queen's head on it, it will be between 1953 and 1967. -
We don't want to be in the single market, we just want access to it.
-
And here's another to add. The 1898 sixpence with small date (1 in date points to tooth).
-
It is fairly rare, I've only seen 2 or 3. I have a picture of the overstrike.
-
Congratulations on the milestone of your 1000th post Jaggy. In times gone by you would have become a 'Forum God', but now you'll just have to settle for being an 'Accomplished Collector'.

Apparently Unilever want a 10% increase across the board due to the change in exchange rate. Only Tesco have objected so far. Interestingly, Marmite is wholly sourced and made in the UK - so it sounds like a good excuse for some profiteering by Unilever.
-
That is probably just a mismatch of white balance in the camera which causes a colour cast for a particular light source.
-
I thought that too, initially. But it's clear that the images on the eBay item and the TPG images are taken with different lighting.
-
That should be Peterus, not Paulus.
