    1985 silver proof coin

    copper123 replied to onlinebootfair's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    You seam to forget there was a c/n version in the mint set of that year as well so thats a proof too.

    I strongly suspect that the type of light has an effect as well - you often see tapesties that have been damaged by sunlight but under artifical light they are fine

    what I got for £3 in brum today G what a bargain

    copper123 replied to copper123's topic in Free for all

    Yes I am not totally pleased with the reverse yet so I will carry on working on it - unfortunately it looks slightly "Edgy" as well with a couple of edge knocks and other light problems , like a weak strike as well Overall though I am very please with the verdi-care

    Please could you also explain why you collected so many of these coins over the years and now want to sell them at a discount to their normal value - I suspect you may never get a job as a prominant economist or get rich with this sort of attitude to coin collecting .
  13. copper123
    I found six in my change before it was anounced in the press that they were rare .(I searched about £10,000 worth) I did find a further two soon after the anouncement but none in the last few years - i have given up looking now - its a waste of time - all change is picked clean of them .
  14. copper123
    shows how rare they are doesn't it !!! you never hear of people selling 700 mule farthings or 700 die number pennies

    Penny - 1902 - Kings Norton Trial Piece

    they could have borrowed an obverse die from the royal mint birmingham to london was not a long way

    Penny - 1902 - Kings Norton Trial Piece

    copper123 replied to The Coinery's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.

    could have been because they wanted a good strike on the reverse - it was well known that the problems with striking pennies started in edwards reign because of the large amounts of metal the design of the obverse used. Do realise as these were trial pieces they could have been produced well after 1902 , in otherwords the date don't mean anything

    Penny - 1902 - Kings Norton Trial Piece

    copper123 replied to The Coinery's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.

    Obverse looks badly struck on purpose , or the die is deliberately weak - I havent a clue why. Neither coin has suffered wear
  25. copper123
    the coin does not show any signs of circulation - if it had been in fine grade and produced 150 odd years ago it would have edge knocks,scratches wear and other things fron circulation - this alone should have bells ringing that somethings wrong when it does not
