Halfpennies are much more valueable than farthings - its a USA colonial coppers thing they love halfpennies

Dopey's been nabed by the the drug squad? LOL

That could get £50- £100 on ebay easy the americans love these forgeries. I sold a george II halfpenny with a 1777 date for quite a bit on ebay

Do they ever question if its UK ex currency? It used to be illegal to melt it down, at least in the uk, in the usa they are more enlightened and you can do what you want with you money - even give it to the trump 2020 re-election campaign if you really want to waste it , LOL .

Bet the royal mint actually increases its production of £2 commems at £10 a pop Theres always someone who want to fill a gap.

Yes an endowment usually has no cash in value for ten years followed by an investment of 110% of funds for the next thirty

sounds like it lasted fourty years rarther that the thirty you mentioned 1947-1988 = fourty years

It must have been an endowment plan with a life insurance element to be worth so much , I am surprised it was just forgotten about , some never get claimed after so many years and end up enriching the insurance funds .

I would presume payments into the plan stopped in the eighties because nobody though it worthwhile collecting the 1p a week in the insurance industy

It's easy to reflect 50 years on if those pennies were put in a savings account say in the post office they might be worth around £2.40- £3.00 max , if withdrawn now. Interest was fairly high for the first twenty years or so (seventies and eighties) and gradually has decreased to nothing for the last five or so years. Interest rates are tipped to turn negative soon so the better alternative of gold silver art and antiques would be a better way to save

All luggage is close to half price in debenhams , you could always trade it in LOL

Growing cannabis is sooooo much more rewarding

My wasps moved home this year moved from above the front door to the eves on the ajoinining house - still i am pleased they are not as visable this year

1849 is a hard one , I sold one ages ago and got nealy £50 for it - no sort of great shakes as far as grade was concerned - think it had around 20 watchers by the time it finished as well

An even larger subject than coins it is at least quite fun poking around trying to find obscure singles long deleated , I take my hat off to you ., have fun! Nice thing to leave the kids / grandkids

A majority of Russians have approved amendments to Russia’s constitution allowing President Vladimir Putin to hold power until 2036, election officials said. However, the referendum was tarnished by widespread reports of pressure on voters and other irregularities. With most of the nation’s polls closed and 15% of precincts counted, 71% voted for the changes, according to officials. For the first time in Russia, polls were kept open for a week to bolster turnout amid the coronavirus pandemic — a provision that Kremlin critics denounced as an extra tool to manipulate the outcome. A massive propaganda campaign and the opposition’s failure to mount a coordinated challenge helped Mr Putin get the result he wanted, but the plebiscite could end up eroding his position because of the unconventional methods used to boost participation and the dubious legal basis for the balloting.
