    Look what I found in a rummage bin in york this friday. I am well off a full set but its a start . sorry about the poor scan folks
  2. And their balls are similar
  3. The manchester evening news pointed to residents and tried to point to them running blindly into a living hell provided by oasis fans ie weeing in front gardens and using front gardens as an open sewer. I might have known reality was a lot better , I have always found prestwich and the nearby whitefield where i lived for many years quiet and happy places , my grandparents also loved prestwich after living on carisbrooke avenue for over 30 years .Nice to know this was all paper talk
  4. Anyone take a sh!t on your front lawn going home ?

    Roman?

    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

    Date run upgrades??

    the trouble with 1971 is that around 17 million of the blue wallets were sold so the will not ever be rare

    1887 Florin

    The key is the wear on Victoria's hair looks at least EF to me
  16. 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
  17. 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

    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.
  21. 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
  22. low mintage as well
  23. Not really a uk coin if from British Guinia
