1773 georgeivs III coin

In the eyes of the law, they're criminals. I just asked my Mum however (she works for the police) and she said they probably wouldn't prosecute as it "..is not in the public interest.." -

Donation to a museum or...............destuction? -

I may be wrong but isn't it illegal to be in possession of forged coins? -
They might as well not be illegal now that that stupid downgrading legislation's been passed. Class-C I ask you!

We'd also need a picture to value it as "kind of worn" ain't a grade here in Blighty -

Sounds about right! ^^^ -
Go to Affleck's Palace and find out what colour it really is!

Well look, not all people are coin aficionados (like us!). I mean, if I wanted to sell say a pocketwatch, I would have no idea where to start. Granted, it was quite thin but what does one expect from an amateur? However if you get lots of them each day, you must get quite irate but don't pass them by; there could be a Una & the Lion just around the corner!

Don't we all! Oooh wait - maybe they still have the original dies? Gothic florins for all!!!! -

Sorry to dampen the enthusiasm (!) but I think they'd attempt to recreate the classics and fail.....miserably. IMHO nowadays, the engravers seem to rely more and more on colour and holograms on coins which overshadows the engraving. I don't think they would be a patch on the originals -

Have you seen the so-called "official" patterns? Not a patch on ours - even IRB's portrait! -

How old was your friend? He doesn't seemed very well informed - has he even heard of the Chancellor's tests? Where did he get this ten years from it seems such an arbitrary number. Grrr. However good ol' Tone may just decide to bypass the public and sign up for the Ewwwwro to please his Euro buddies whilst keeping Bush close at hand. Ahh the machinations of politics -

Blair should be called BLIAR! -
Good luck with them anyway - the discerning (i.e. filthy rich) collector should get those bought soon!

Rarity ratings...
Emperor Oli replied to Sylvester's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
It would be nice if they could affix concrete mintages for them and then grade the rarity accurately but alas, they haven't! -

Never heard of a rarity scale but I notice you're discussing this on Conipeople! I would also be interested to know - perhaps they should publish it in Spink's? -

I was thinking that as I typed but then I'd gone too far so just posted it anyway! Are there any other "big" anniversaries coming up that would merit a change in the sovereign reverse?
