I've sent you a PM Pete

1788 Halfpenny Worcester Visit of George III August 6-8 W. A. & CO. D&H 33 Not actually sure if it is a halfpenny, or what the metal is, does anyone know? Acquired from our very own CHP -
Lots of auctions in London (as you might expect)! Spink, St James, DNW, London Coins Auctions (normally in Bracknell), Croydon, Baldwins, there are others I'm sure!
-
Go on then!

I'll take that please Pete

Beautiful eyelashes on the king there!

Is it a CGS coin @mrbadexample? If so, if you tell me the UIN I will dig out the pre-slabbed pics if you want?

You have some eye-wateringly beautiful halfpennies Rob!
-
And what do we have here? Some kind of pattern in gilt bronze?
-
What date would that be roughly? (the Viccy decimal)

EU referendum - in or out?
Paulus replied to 1949threepence's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Odds are roughly 3/1 ON that we will vote to stay in according to the bookies. Trump is about 3/1 AGAINST to be next US president (still scary though) -

I found Question Time last week a particularly good one. The 'In' lobby in particular would rather talk about the dangers of leaving rather than the benefits from staying in (obviously the 'Out' lobby wouldn't do that but you know what I mean!) Neither side is able to back up their arguments with sound statistics, as there are just too many unknowns. Undecided at present. Being out but with trade agreements seems to be working well for the likes of Norway though. -
Such a shame, what were people thinking!

I so hope that these days all coin albums are PVC-free! I'm sure anything from Chris will certainly be! And I would throw the old album away!

Blimey,nice haul Jerry!

Eagerly awaiting accounts of carnage, key wins, near misses, etc etc

Thanks Pete. By 'known' I meant is it recorded in any publications, I don't have anything that covers copper varieties
-
Is this a 'known' variety? Top coin is a standard coin, the one below is recorded in the CGS population database as "5's in date appear open" (they have recorded 3 such examples)
-
lol I couldn't resist!
-
And the fact that these are widely copied, no weight or provenance was offered, and less than 1000 were genuinely minted
-
That would make sense. Batches submitted (in my experience) always have consecutive UIN numbers. The numbers 1001 and 1002 also coincide with about 10 years ago, soon after CGS first started.
-
Yes that's exactly what the UIN number means ... funnily enough the highest known in their pop report is 0001002, this has no relation to the grade, but does mean that the higher grade coin was either submitted by the same owner in the same batch, or is a total coincidence!
