Predecimal Great Britain pennies Metal alloy?
josie replied to josie's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
In RM what are the countries that was strike and what is the metal composition of the coins of those countries. If others say that same composition as GB predecimal broze did they do the same treament on coins in other countries like hypo and others during those time including commowealth countries that was stike in RM if any? There is no article or publication that I know about metal composition of predecimal coin of Ireland just assuming or presume that it was same as GB predecimal coins how about the treatment and hypo? -

On the obverse the REG some are aligned. Some are seperated by thin incuse line. Others are detached. On 1890 aligned the space between the legs or R in REG are more square other date are more round. Is this common?

Question on subprime(mortgage)
josie replied to josie's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
I dont know but,I think this is something to do with coins. Just an opinion. That the mint is minting money and foward them to the bank. And the bank lend and borrow money to others local and foreign. Its more than money. Since there is a problem on loans who owns the money in a sense. Will we wait for the debasment of coin metal due to high price of metal or lossing the cent itself due to deficit and bad loans,just an opinion. For Im thinking that the coin today does not reflect the true value of its purchasing power as the goverment will protect its people, in debasing and lossing the cent but the deficit and bad loans is the problem for inflation. -
What happen. Why they are saying that things did go bad.

I have NORTH WALES 1775,GEORGE RULES with 2 incuse holes, one each side of the image, but didnt pass through the reverse only leave a mark or dent on the upper sides of the harp. Any info.

Predecimal Great Britain pennies Metal alloy?
josie replied to josie's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Thank you chris. Yes it is in freeman,in the introduction pages on technical summaries and pecularities and others. He also mentioned that 1967,1966,1965. that thier is a variation in weight,also on variation of flan. Since QE II is the last year of predecimal issue since 1860 many changes happen on the weight and in the composition of metal alloy in brozed coinage. Some question. What happen why the last 3 year of issue for circulating coins varies in weight? What is nicer the pink unciculated one or the brown one? What happen when the pink uncirculated one contact with the atmosphere what is the color light brown or dark chocolate brown. Why krause didnt list the weight of QE II pennies? Is there chances that flan use in post 1923 pennies is use in other series and overlap to one another? -
Sorry here is the picture,I usually aligned in this two words and they differ on pearse shilling. http://www.predecimal.com/forum/index.php?...=si&img=395 Is this tooled,worn,filled die or variety. http://www.predecimal.com/forum/index.php?...=si&img=396

Dont have the picture yet. Others can aligned the I in Irie the following letters are different spacing for each coin. Thier are 2 spacing seen in dunloagrie last antique show same number or ratio, just got the wide spacing for I, got 3 close spacing in words The other one is close letters along word before amacc if not mistaken only seen this in close spacing not seen in wide,so no coins to compare on wide spacing on words after amacc, the dealer is selling it for 20 euro short in budget. latter found out compare at home that spacing on the edge varies. On the 1968 penny chickless and chick, Any one have 1968 penny the first chick inside the hens legs instead of rounded back its straight I have 2, on more or less 50 plus 1968 penny I have. on half penny some I noticed that other belly or stomach have more spaced than other and the spaced on the chest and the groin some are smooth others have a triangular incuse space or it is just a worn die.

If not. Its all up to the moderator and owner,just keep the correction rod besides them and post thier reproof or suspension for other members,like Aidan if they like.
