  1. "tower mint " sounds like a made up name in order to fool consumers into thinking they are buying official royal mint products "London mint office" used the same evil trick more recently

    You will be getting artificially worn down examples of this coin offered to you soon dealers just like the 1869 pennies. Not convincing like this (but strangely enjoyable) williams bust looks all wrong
  6. I dont remember it being much more expensive , the 1972 one , not even sure if it had the crown in it I know the 1977 one did The 1970 set was very , very popular and indeed the reason proof sets were issued for every year till now ,
  7. like most royal mint tat over the last 40 years
  8. pretty sure that coin would get a £300 bid off some numptie on ebay as its a 2017 coin as well . They are incapable of thinking forward to next year when there will be hundreds of millions in circulation

    Calling all Sovereign Experts

    Not anysort of expert on these but looks gen - if its a fake its a really good one
  10. I love the way basils whole life is given over to pleaseing his trouble and strife Best episode the one with mrs richards the deaf woman , when he wins the £75 on the horse and ends up having to give it away to the deaf old bat
  11. hope this ends the thread
  12. nothing really exciteing here, love the william iii halfpenny obv . George III halfpennies are non regal - Is one dated 1776? Soho stuff is very common 1722 halfpennies are scarcer
  13. looking forward to the 1700s farthings and halfpennies . While i would love to give advice on the coins you have scaned as they are mostly silver i feel i should pass it on to someone else as this really is not my field . Ps if you ever want to scrap the 1905 halfcrown , it will find a happy new home at my adress .
  14. Coin collectors are by definition coin collectors . Too my mind it does not matter the coins value either , while a collector with a collection worth £150 is still a collector he should not be derided and abused JUST because his collection is of little interest to a serious collector . Out of little acorns mighty oaks grow . PS I hope this arguement stops here now

    New pound coin

    I think because the pound is such a popular coin they had to make a huge amount for as soon as possable , they just needed a date so chose 2016 - they will always be very common like 1983 pound coins

    TPG just gets silly

    New pound coin

    More rubbish in the sun this time in a headline - just wondering if it was a slow news day today , or are we getting tired of brexit and the election already? They should have worked out by now their story in a none story caused by the general public using liquid nitrogen gas to increase the value of a pound coin 10,000 times and maybe sell to some person with half a brain on craigslist or gumtree
  18. copper123

    New pound coin

    or probably none existant
  19. copper123

    New pound coin

    I would be less worried about the sellers - its any buyers that would worry me
  20. copper123

    New pound coin

    seen 50 or so - according to the internet a 2016/2017 mule exists - not found one yet . Some people are selling the ordinary 2016 coin or craigslist / gumtree for up to £500 claiming its rare - how a coin with a mintage of 1 .5 billion can be rare and worth £500 I don't know

    6 Peter Rabbit 50p coins needed

    Try gum tree there are several thousand rare peter rabbit 50ps on there at up to £1500 each
  22. I would say if all the coins are the same that they have all been cleaned at some time so are worth very little , dont hold your breath for a great valuation from a dealer. What you see is not lustre that went years ago on this coin
