1862 penny with 1/2d numerals
Emperor Oli replied to a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Hehe it's up on eBay now -
Oh she wasn't a heroine nor was Cook a hero. I'm sick to death of people overusing these precious words. Heroes are people who go above and beyond the call of duty. These people are just doing their jobs. I'll give credit where it's due. She certainly did a lot for the NI peace process, and that deserves our thanks. However, to equate her with war heroes or civilians who act to save others is slightly skewed.

There are some interesting modern coins in the upcoming auction. Who knew Una & The Lion made a comeback in the 60s?

A great lady indeed, but I think Mr. Blair was slightly misguided in calling her "one of the most remarkable and colourful personalities" in the history of British politics. Eulogies are expected to have a little embellishment, but this was laid on with a trowel. Same goes for Robin Cook. No mention of when he was at the airport with his wife (due to go on holiday), and he announced he was leaving her for his secretary.

ROYAL MINT COMPETITION..DESIGN BRITAINS NEW COINS!
Emperor Oli replied to eddyk's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Jon can scan it for us -
I just read in the paper she didn't want to be resuscitated. Checked the BBC and it's true: she's dead.

silly change trivia.

How intriguing! I'd never realised that, not that I'd paid much attention to it to begin with -
ROYAL MINT COMPETITION..DESIGN BRITAINS NEW COINS!
Emperor Oli replied to eddyk's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I'd rather not have buildings etc represented. I like the emblematic reverses that we have now (bar the bridge £1 series). Revamping the portcullis, thistle etc would be a better idea than totally new ones. -
There was a robbery reported on these boards and others that took place around January time (in Surrey I think). Loads of valuable coins were stolen - early milled crowns and five guineas to name but two. Were any ever recovered? Was the thief caught?
-
I think - or rather, hope - that it's privately issued.
-
Congratulations to you.

If the colouring - or enamelling - is of especially good quality, you could hope to get a fairly good price for it. Otherwise, if it's slightly gauche, it won't be worth much at all apart from sentimental value. This site provides more information.

Happy Birthday, JMD!

Congratulations. -
2005 issue at last!
Emperor Oli replied to Sylvester's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I got my first a few months ago - another £5 coin in change! -
We don't like to boast

It's called the Sheldon Grading System, with a grade ranging from a 1 to 70. They are prefixed by letters, denoting the rough grade - eg. AU50 for about uncirculated. However, the US AU is different to the UK AU.

Double-headed eagle *drools*.

I've been looking on ebay specifically for slabbed coins, something low value like a Roosie, just to see and hold a slab.

Lovely. I fixed the link in this post.

Coin Clipping, how does it affect value?
Emperor Oli replied to Jon Hill's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I'd say clipping reduces value. Personally, I'd grade it and place it with a note (eg. VF with minor/major clipping). -
Happy Birthday Sylvester!
Emperor Oli replied to Half Penny Jon's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Congratulations, Sylvester. I've been on holiday, hence not replying quicker. -
Could it be one of the model coins, like the stuff made by Lauer maybe?
-
I think its a victorian coin?
Emperor Oli replied to a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I think you mean the one above (but in silver, obviously). These were minted in bronze, silver and gold, and in two sizes. It's not a coin, but an official medal to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897. To value yours, we would need pictures/scans to assess the grade. Unless it's just the info that you want, which is above. -
Roman Silver Coins - A Price Guide
Emperor Oli replied to Chris Perkins's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Will this be standard now on for all Rotographic titles? -
Two farthings that I need priced...
Emperor Oli replied to Master Jmd's topic in Rotographic Publications Forum
Coincraft makes no distinction between the two on value; both are valued as follows: VG - £10 F - £30 VF - £80 EF - £450. Bear in mind this is approaching six years old.
