    Very Old 1912 Penny

    I would say yes - its not a melt coin but collectable Its also worth £20 or less so dont start planning retirement just yet

    Been missing for ages

    I am currently trying to upgrade my black finish 1897 - you would think it's easy wouldn't you , well its not a quick ssearch on ebay compleated listings gives very few examples and they always fetch around £20 or so you would think with this being the commoner type there would be loads around but theres not . 1901 is still a pretty easy date to find though
  5. just picked this up , found it really hard to find and am well chuffed (As they say up north)

    Roman bronze oddity?

    Republican coin in the uk - sounds pretty unlikely

    Total beginner coin collector

    My advice would be read as much as you can choose something you really like the look of and just try to build a collection - don't expect to have the best collection in the world after a short time collecting set reasonable goals and just enjoy yourself . popular coins are farthings crowns Halfcrowns pennies shillings And dont forget type sets A great help is living near wakefield/ brum or london for the fairs , otherwise its gonna be the internet or a friendly local dealer Buy numismatic books they are a great investment as well - you usually get your money back selling them
  8. That coin is a real minger
  9. Its a good likeness but the lips spoil it I am sure they are what should be altered
  10. I think its legal for the penny squashing macines you find in various tourist places like eastboure
  11. It used to be illegal to do than

    Toning technique

    I presume the egg is uneatable afterwards
  13. a secretary as I recall, whose name was Ms. E. Lastick. Peckris likes this KNICKERS
  14. If I remember rightly Graham norton featured a Dr E . Ville on his show
  15. I worked with a bloke called paul hammond bacon once his nickname was piglet
  16. The copper in it might be worth more than a penny
  17. Its a nice clear portrait but the rest of the coin I would struggle to call much better than fine TBH
  18. I will give £60 for it LOL
