I looked at both pictures and nothing registered as unusual. My brain was fixated on grade, rather than the king's effigy itself.

Odd Color of Copper Penny

It won't be long before you're "Almost a piece of furniture", or something like that. -
Royal Mint 2015 Sovereign from £110?
Nick replied to Colin88's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Having looked at the Royal Mint website, it seems that the £110 refers to the proof Quarter Sovereign. The Half Sovereign is £190 and the Sovereign is £360. There are also bullion versions that are a bit cheaper, but not that much. -
Noble sale 108 - March 24-26
Nick replied to Garrett's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I suspect the Skipton Castle Collection on Heritage will be more to your liking, VS. However, given the number of MS 65, 66 & 67 grades, the prices are sure to be stratospheric. -
I would say look at the edge inscription. This seems to be the hardest part to fake convincingly. It should be a well formed gothic script, nicely centred (top to bottom) all the way around.

We are talking at crossed purposes, Stuart. Dave's post references an 1862 florin, which is what I replied about. I agree with you, if we are talking godless 1849 florin.

I've had a few 1918's over the years. The best I've had is this one:

I make no distinction between wear and weakness. The fact remains that a substantial portion of the design is missing. It wouldn't be more than EF money to my mind, regardless of the given grade.

There are quite a few in the Heritage archive.

Thanks Dave. Interesting.

They have to. Otherwise, they would be admitting that slabbing doesn't add value.

'Extremely rare' £2
Nick replied to goomolique's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The Coinage Act was amended in 2011 to allow variations to denominations and/or specifications to be made by proclamation. More details here. However, I don't know where the actual proclamations are published that allowed the £5 coin, £20 coin etc to become legal tender. -

Link added. Never heard of a coin that has been "hot dead in the middle" before.

Any eBay listing that even mentions a type of relative (especially grandad) should be given a wide berth.

Embed a sound into text?
Nick replied to Coinery's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Yes, it's possible. Here's an example: -
Thanks Nick, that's useful to know. Where was it? It was in the Heritage archive. The pattern florin was sold in September 2009 for $3,450.
