1881H Farthing CCGB2015 value
Coinery replied to Fluke's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Goodness me, you took that hard, Fluke? In all fairness, from the images put up, it's looks either very heavily bag marked, or cleaned? But images are very deceptive, as you will soon see if you still choose to stick around? -

You can't leave now, Fluke, I've just burnt bridges responding to your post! I know, I know, I know! But it always blows over! C'mon, get to know us all first? Azda's a little puppy when you get to know him! I've emailed Colin for you, he could be on holiday, or very busy with work, he'll post here for you, so keep watching! I'm having a glass of wine if you care to join me, Fluke? -
1881H Farthing CCGB2015 value
Coinery replied to Fluke's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I know it's not a popular statement, but I'm still not sure what to think of the early-milled grading on CC, which, to be fair, is the only area I looked at around 5 years ago when I was trying to compile my own grading reference. That's me now cast into the eternal fires of the numismatic furnace! ? -
I'm liking the beginnings of your cataloging...so much better than my organisation in the early days! I'm still not THAT organised with it even now!

Yarp! Welcome aboard an' all! It's a pit stop you'll be in a long time! Enjoy the ride!

Colin, from About Farthings is a regular contributor on here, I'm sure his insight will clear everything up! If he offered a valuation, I'd insure it for that! The clock is ticking now! 16:44, how long will it take the ole fella? -
I'm always staggered at the wealth of info. on here! Another VS special!
-
quickly done, but you get the idea! I reckon a lot of the varieties could be identified so much easier by field identification. This is really rushed from low res images, but I think it's got some good potential in a book, a new way of simplifying things! Always happy to do any serious design work for a good cause!
-
This is another classic example of something I spoke about ages ago! And that is looking at field shapes! If we try to see small differences in helmet and plume shapes, our brain gets confused, but IF we look at the shape of the little field enclosed in that region, it's altogether a different animal! Using the shape of the field is often far more decisive, I don't know why this hasn't been done before?

Nearly 1/2 ton of pennies? That should see a few of them off! Sounds like an intriguing project, do share when it's come to fruition! I can't help, but I'm sure a few kilos could be rustled up on here?

This is just the best forum ever!

Coinage of George V- Part 3, Of Alloys and Ghosts, 1920-1926
Coinery replied to sound's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Bloody hell, have we lost him for another year? -
I prefer these big old pennies to the bronze issues! Nice coin!
-
I fully take on your point and wasn't suggesting that decimals are the way for dealers (eBay hobbyist dealers - maybe) to go, but was simply trying to make the point that just because decimal werent seen as true coins by some collectors doesn't make them any less valid as a collectible.I've bought a lot of decimals from this very site, Rich! I've even decided on my two 2015 keepers out of a pile of 2ps and 5ps! Always a collector!

Hey Garoyn, welcome to the madhouse, the coin forum for the numismatically insane!

Put me down for a Class 10cf5 penny!

Peter, just read your post! What a shocker of a toned list that is, TG! Satisfying to see by the bidding that they aren't appreciated by anyone else either. Pete, I think it was something to do with 'something' and heat (oven possibly)? I can't remember now, though have read about it in the past. Never stuck in my mind as useful for anything, surprisingly!
-
It'll be a penny, then!
-
Thank goodness you asked, Charlie, that's an appalling example. I'm amazed you could live with the rims on that, it's my greatest issue. I personally really struggle with even the lightest nicks on edges.

Advice about this 1902 Proof Crown...
Coinery replied to evansuk2000's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Agree with the above! Incidentally, I noticed you signal as 'searching' in your screen shot! You're not with EE by any chance are you? We've had three weeks of atrocious service from them! -
Here's crown 15... ...but I think that's about it without a bit more info., palves!
-
Maybe a halfpenny, it's got a HyB obverse? Could do with a weight and/or size, really? When I first saw it my initial thoughts were class 15 crown, because of the two left-leaning ornaments? It's just missing that second R in the legend though? I think size and weight are needed, to be honest!

Now this should send a shiver up the spine this morning! The same old bells that sent their glorious sound out across the land for the actual event! Notwithstanding the fact that many of our tower bells are the same old bells that rang out in Stuart, and even Tudor times! Wonderful! Stick your head out the door at 11 chaps and chapesses! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-32670639

A shame, as it was the most powerful post war documentary I've watched!
