    More Pennies

    Yes, my 1839 prof cost £250 in 2001 and my 1853 copper proof cost £300 on 2000. Since then they've gone through the roof.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    A rare chance to get a beautiful proof 1863 penny for £1 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Victoria-1-Penny-1863-Proof-AEF/333185317437?hash=item4d93647a3d:g:PEoAAOSwrZFc0F9P

    Still, a beautiful coin that I was outbid on.

    The McGowan Collection

    I refused to pay the last Fedex bill @ 20% and they raised a query and eventually reduced their invoice some 3 months later although I received several very threatening letters from their debt collection agents despite assurances that I didn't need to worry - it wasn't a pleasant experience.

    Stephen Hawkings 50p

    They've been doing this for ages. The 2019 set of 50p's is only £19.95 with Westminster compared with £45 from the Mint !
  10. This has become the thread that I turn to first every day and I'd be sad to see the end of it (unless Theresa gets a one years extension) so can't we just respect our differences ? After all, it's only mirroring the country.
  11. If anything, they (and I) were putting more of their faith in the Westminster elite rather than the European bureaucrats. How stupid is that ?
  12. Obverse A Obverse B A & B much closer together on obverse B
  13. rarer than the chances of parliament regaining the trust of the people................................
  14. And pigs may fly............................ And I may find a BU F90 penny.........................

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Wow - this could be a unique striking.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1912-H-UK-Queen-Victoria-One-Penny/192875121266?hash=item2ce840ca72:g:oKEAAOSwVXdcVabm

    Atlas Numismatics

    One point in their favour is that they did accept an offer from me once that was substantially below their asking price. It pays to haggle with them.

    1913 penny - Freeman 175 & 176

    Terry, I sent you a couple of emails - did you not receive them ?
  23. Yes, I've added these 1902 Trials to my rare penny website - there's an interesting combination of obverses and reverses, all interchangeable.

    1913 penny - Freeman 175 & 176

    Yes, but I was desperate enough to get one that I bought a similar horror back in the day !
