  1. 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
  2. It really annoys me that the slabbers call the coin a 1/2 p for gods sake its a 1/2 D
  3. currency has gunports as well the big giveaway that they never noticed was the three dots
  4. 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
  5. 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😢.
  6. The odds are five to one that Donald Trump will reshape the US constitution and win the presidency for a third time, according to William Hill. The high street bookie has begun taking bets that Mr Trump will once again take the White House in 2028, an outcome that would require a fundamental overhaul of the modern US political system. Presidents have been bound to serving no more than two four-year terms under the Twenty-Second Amendment of the Constitution, which was brought into force in 1951. However, Mr Trump has repeatedly joked about running a third time, telling his supporters last November: “I suspect I won’t be running again unless you say ‘He’s so good, we have to figure it out’.”
  7. I am sure he's looking to issue a trump coin for his third term.
  8. I would be very surprised if he does not have his eye on repealing the law that says you cannot be presedent more than twice
  9. So six years ago the pound was near parity with the dollar an extreme right wing conservative government had taken over and the queen had just died Now we have a much more left leaning government the pound is getting on for $1.50 to the dollar and everyone is predicting doom and disaster prob because america is the only country that can guarantee its oil supply. A strange world we live in indeed
  10. you must have great eyesight paddy
  11. By the way , its a nice coin well struck and atractive
  12. that would go back into the melting pot as a badly struck coin if the mint were doing their job right
  13. It might make it easy if you have a copy of peck does look like a raised dot on georges shoulder if that helps
  14. It has a tiny A+M on the bottom rev exergue which means its a joint effort between Allan and Moore
  15. I must admit I am disturbed with the reverse one irish symbol one Scottish and yet two English Did someone hate the Welsh?
  16. oh matron ! Its the same size as the Moore gothic crowns
  17. There are more recent examples like the pobjoy mint £1 isle of man coins in the early 1980's at the ideal home exhibitions they had a special privy mark on them. It might be interesting to get a list of exibitors from the great exhibition , to be honest i cannot see the royal mint being there but the heaton mint or moore could have been . I am asuming the new model crown came after the much more common gothic example produced in 1848 or a little later
  18. I must admit it looks very dated for the time (About 1850 ) a time when the british empire was massively expanding IMHO but at the time it's a perfectly good pattern coin
  19. I now have my own New model crown and a total beauty it is to I got it for less than three figures so am really happy its in about EF grade
  20. she obviously likes red bull with wiings like that
  21. ready for action then LOL
  22. Are you sure britannia is a british lady? I strongly suspect she was made up by the romans who would be very unlikely to put a local near naked woman of ancient british origins on one of their coins
  23. Yes , royal snail do things like this very often now since they started their double digit price increases about five or so years ago , Disgraceful service
  24. that one is very week on charles hair/laurel leaves
