Obviously, that's Cornish uncirculated.

I had two proofs arrive today. Nothing expensive, just 1983 & 84 two pence proofs. Problem is, one was in a bank style plastic 2 x 2 with the black back. The other was sent bare. Sellotaped to the 2 x 2. I left neutral feedback with a message not to f**k up coins in the same way in future. Sure the coins I bought cost nothing, but what if the seller got hold of something reasonable?

1902 penny, which photo should I use?
bagerap posted a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I picked this up three weeks ago in a decades old Seaby envelope. I put up a phone picture at the time, but I don't think these two taken with a fairly good Nikon are any better. Opinions please. -

Thanks. I think that it just illustrates that I'm a truly crap photographer. -

Note to self. Don't try using the smallest tablet in the house when you have fingers like shovels. -

Thanks gents. I'm starting to think that the phone pics were better than anything I can do with a camera. -

1734 halfpenny, underweight.
bagerap replied to bagerap's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Thanks Gents -
Part of a bulk lot, so it doesn't owe me much, but I don't think that it's right. A gram underweight is probably acceptable but there's also the odd raised < shape to the back of the neck on the obv.

There's certainly copper showing through on the laurel wreath but I think you're right on the casting though. -
Although their site is not quite as easily searched as it once was, I consider cgb.fr to be one of the best dealer's sites around. And then there's this link to a new auction. Pure class:

There are so many varieties of the Spade Guinea token that they are obviously collected. Some can be worth a few bob, if you know what you're doing. These'll help for a start. http://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ/pdfs/1963_BNJ_32_15.pdf http://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ/pdfs/1983_BNJ_53_11.pdf

Comments invited on this eBay item - does it look ok?

Which b*&&%y horseman is that supposed to be? Very bad. -
That programme, Live from Daryl's house, is easily the best music show on US TV. Like Jools Holland on BBC 2 it is live music, and the house musicians are second to none.

It is because of the prices that I remembered it. Over one hundred pounds for the metelin which is crazy.

Balwins had one earlier this year, correctly attributed I believe but not half as good as yours.

Also better known here as Pitch & Toss

Two up (against the wall) was certainly played in England before WWI. It was recorded as illegal gambling in police reports from IIRC the 1870s. It may have developed from a Romany game which was played at gypsy fairs.

English is this seller's second language. From the sentence structure and syntax, it's likely he thinks in arabic/persian.

So very sad to hear this, Mrs. Peter was an honorary member of these pages.

That's the action you get when the first bidder has put an automatic bid on with a stated maximum bid. Thd second bidder is repeatedly trying him out to see how high No 1s limit is set.

An interesting little ditty long before notlob and dead parrots

Sixty or so years ago, my father had a few of these "riddle" coins in his collection. Similarly engraved and decorated, they were supposedly sent back home to Ireland to show that the emigre sons of Erin were doing well in England. Dad was very fond of these. -

I'll leave discussion of the coin to the experts (although I love it) but I do wish that my pictures would turn out that good. -
Nice to see another Languagelog watcher.
