    Even the oldest people are now paying for lots of small purchaces on contactless admittedly its really popular but few places are refusing cash as well I am pretty sure it will take another five years or so for major refusals of cash to become the norm

    I found a yh Parthing in my collection , its in nice grade too , I thought they all were spelt PARTHING ,shows what I know , I really do need roger's book

    they were considered more as small change a bit like a 10p is these days , funny enough theres not a lot you can buy with a 10p
  6. copper123
    I would say thats about right ,smaller coins like sixpences and shillings tend to circulate less freely and seem to remain in better condition than halfcrowns after 15 years or so, a shilling would prob be in NVF grade
  7. copper123
    I found a 1942 florin in 1986 or so . I suspect the 1952 halfcrown spent a long time in a piggy bank or forgotten about in a drawer well it would have been in fine or good fine with normal circulation after 15 years
  8. copper123
    Halfcrowns did circulate quite a lot that coin shows all the signs of being taken out of circulation in about 1960 or so it looks like less that vf but to be sure I would have to have it in hand and i am pretty sure that will never happen LOL

    Edward VIII? surely it should be George VI to make it a even slightly believeable forgery
  10. copper123
    Yes this also contributed to the bubble in modern coins that happened in the early 70'sand late sixties , its easy to look back in old coin monthlies from that time and be horified at the prices ie Mint grade 1959 halfcrown £20 Anyone who paid those prices was well and truely stitched up

    The males can be a bit vicious esp around chick time . I remember paul merton saying swan upping should be illegal on H.I.G.N.F.Y. it got a good laugh.

    1981 25p "Experimental Coin"

    A bit too male looking to be "Britannia in my book , do we really need a non -binary on a coin ?

    1981 25p "Experimental Coin"

    copper123 replied to Master Jmd's topic in Decimal Coins

    If sold it should go under the title of "Experimental CN test coin unknown value" that would be the most honest title. I must admit that Britannia making all the coins personally brings a smile to my face.

    We are of course very lucky to have the gulf stream - without it these isles would be more like Canada in the winter - please god , no , I just hate my winter bills as they are nevermind a -30 ,in that temperature I am pretty sure I would be stuck at home in the winter for four months.
