looks like tower mm

Ironically many of the smaller coins ie groat down are much nice coins to own from the tudor and stuart periods
-
Just shows what ugly things most hammered coins are really sigh
-
Look rather crude to me there are various contemp copies out there , they are very common. As they were not worth much they were often just thrown away , loads ended up in the thames as well pretty sure its a richmond issue
-
the trouble with 1971 is that around 17 million of the blue wallets were sold so the will not ever be rare

surely the post would be treble what the coins are worth , and by the way they are cents

Low estimates prob please sellers they can be pointed too as proof how good the auctioneer is

British Countermarks on Copper & Bronze Coins J, Gavin Scott
copper123 replied to dmw2602's topic in Rotographic Publications Forum
1797 pennies seem to have many countermarks -
The key is the wear on Victoria's hair looks at least EF to me

Most coins at this time circulated at their melt value along with any remaining copper/ bronze left over from when the romans left . They probably circulated till melted down for other uses about the year 700 or so or untill decent quality silver pennies appeared

1875H Penny. Anyone have any thoughts?
copper123 replied to dmw2602's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The patchy tone is deff not a plus could wipe £50 off the price easy -
well I had been after a really nice one for ages and it came up on the bay for a half reasonable price so i treated myself The two rarest coins in the copper / bronze victorian period are in my opinion 1851 d over sideways d and 1862 fat 8 this ties with freeman 530 as well for rarity. I have a fat 8 but it only grades good fine
-
Heres my 1852 farthing it's that nice i suspect it will never be upgraded
-
1849 is a tough year esp in nice grade there again so are 1844, 1851 ,1852 and 1859 funny enough even though the last only circulated for 9 years.

Which rulers of England did not have coins issued during their reign ?
copper123 replied to SiHawks's topic in Free for all
An unusual note to this is that he actually asked for a set of his own coinage and was refused it by the royal mint (though I am sure the rejust was actually refused by people right at the top ie the prime minister and royal family -

George VI Davissons
copper123 replied to Coinery's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The odd few did circulate esp in the war years remember many people finances were turned upside down. Many of those that circulated have been melted down now as they were seen as useless as no-one wanted them in the fifties and sixties , not collectors anyway -
perfect advice there are plenty out there to choose from

Copper Half Penny Collection plus on EBAY
copper123 replied to Bronze & Copper Collector's topic in Items For Sale
Yes halfpennies always seem the most ignored of the copper / bronze series a shame really -
Quite true ,coins are often found badly clipped or with date or mintmark not clear - at least it has not suffered those fates Does look cleaned though , detector find?
