    TOY COINS

    I bought a mixed lot off ebay recently and amongst them was this little coin made by moore around 1849 presumably for export over the pond its in a small size and features a gothic head of victoria with a crown on and calafornia half dollar on the reverse not sure if this is listed in rogers butn I know there are other similar mules as I have one. I also inclue a picture of the regular large size half dollar that is much more common for reference. Hope someone with a copy of roger's book can help

    Does not even have the right date it says 1905 on the obverse - takes a lot to get the date wrong on a coin

  7. Butt of the joke: Australian man suffers severe burns to his bottom and genitalia after firework party trick backfires By SARA MALM PUBLISHED: 09:51, 30 July 2012 | UPDATED: 10:04, 30 July 2012 15 View comments e-mail Top +99 Home Firecracker: The man placed the rocket between his cheeks and lit the fuse An Australian man has been hospitalised with severe burns after placing a firework between his buttocks in a party trick gone awry. The 23-year-old man was attending a party in a suburb to Darwin in the Northern Territory on Saturday, when he decided to brighten up the evening. The stunt, quite literally, backfired and the man was taken to local hospital with severe burns to his back, cheeks and genitalia. Police said alcohol was ’a possible factor’. ‘It appears a party was in full progress when a young male decided to place a firework between the cheeks of his bottom and light it,’ Senior Sergeant Garry Smith with Northern Territory Police said. ‘What must of seemed to be a great idea at the time has backfired, resulting in the male receiving quite severe and painful burns to his cheeks, back and private bits.’ When police arrived at the party in the suburb, ironically named Rapid Creek, the man was writhing in pain but was able to get to hospital without the aid of paramedics. AND HES FROM DARWIN!
  8. What about that guy who put a firework up his anus and lit it
  9. By backward the wrighter might have meant rural and not exposed to modern manufacturing processes. They did invent paper, money and porcelain and many many other things though , too many to list .

    Possible error.

    Not nice to say, but it could be a china forgery artificially aged

    They are more interested in something that sells well as it produces a nice profit for them - they are not interested what happens to the coins , if they are passed on as genuine etc

    By the way some of the coins mostly the gold and the bronze penny , halfpenny and farthing are in such good grade they are really stunning they must have been bought by a really serious collector. It must have been a wrench to sell them

    Frank may gave up the job in 1893 so its pretty certain that box does not belong with the 1902 set as their is 15 years difference in date , its more certain that this box had a 1887 0r 1893 set inside IMHO. By the way I would imagine that box and set of rare coins would fetch £700 or so in that grade (Around £20 to £25 a coin) am I guessing right ? It certainly is not one for a collector on a budget I bet the reverend rogers would have loved it

    The box has p. may as the cashier so it should be easy to go back through the old B.O.E. cashiers and work out if its in the 1911 period Simples really

    Recent purchase story.

    The one exception can be that rare variety you find after years of looking and just buy on impulse - you tend to only look carefully when you get home...
