    It was often said if you took all the pieces of the true cross from around the med and you could build a boat out of them

    pretty sure they stopped selling them in the early eighties it coincided with a 20% -30% drop in the collectable coin market at a guess 1981 or 1982. They have never been for sale except in the second hand market since.

    In the mid to late seventies whitman folders retailed around 25p to 50p range its now virtually impossible to get them for less than a £5 note. On their own they have been a great investment

    Coins of the year 1887 are really common, just be discerning and not in a rush, I must admit unc and a/unc are harder to find but they are out there don't fall for these con merchants

    I would love to say many a numismatist would practically kill for a coin like that , don't turn your back if your showing it off . LOL

    It really annoys me that the slabbers call the coin a 1/2 p for gods sake its a 1/2 D
  23. copper123
    currency has gunports as well the big giveaway that they never noticed was the three dots
  24. copper123
    Does not the fact that these slabbing companies never mentioned this was a proof in their description inspire confidence in their work Answer Yes / No. does not take a genius to work out
  25. copper123
    Slabbing companies often make many errors from what i have been told, the person paying for the slabbing should make sure the slabbing company knows what they have in their hands the peck number as well , personally I think any slabbing company worth its salt would have a copy of peck and also would refuse to slab a cleaned proof coin as it affects its value a lot , or maybe the slabbing company is just gready😢.
