Is it a jeckyl? It looks like a penny with those trident prongs?. Very convincing the neck is what alerted me and the very rough sea

Does that say common or conman?

How much do you think 2p is worth einstein? I suggest you google before posting saves embarrassment

only 20 grams short on weight. Sorry but if people cannot be bothered to research something that's going to cost them a best part of a £1000 they open themselves up to this kind of scam. Knowledge is power and safety to a certain degree but it at least prevents you from buying this sort of garbage. Fools to themselves on their heads be it.

Did you see their trust pilot rating lmao 1.2/10

wow that's disgraceful. The check number doesn't exist which if you are going to spend the kind of money that coin is actually worth would it be genuine surely they would check the number first. And then question why the Letters in DOLLAR are different sizes and in the wrong font just as a starter . Not to mention the wipe over with a heated brillo pad lol I am thinking the 9 bids are probably friends to stir up interest.?

sorry its a crap pic but its from webcam actually it looks better than the coin lols

Well if that is the case it's even more damning . Wikipedia banned the daily mail for using unreliable information and sources are now found elsewhere.

Shouldn't they have added PLC? or is that their erroneous way of not looking to be part of the real group?

Here's the back story. again down to fake news online. Benjamin Britton Silver proof or the piedfort I cannot remember which as all the commemoratives get allocation of said amount that can be struck. I think with those it was 5000. The fact that nobody wanted the coins and very little interest was shown at all they only had orders for just under 1000 (figure changes with story you read) . The fake news boys "The daily mail online" got wind of a 50 pence that only has a mintage of 1000 coins and all are sold(which is not the truth or anywhere near it). These coins could be worth £500 each. So now BB 50p hysteria ensues everyone and his granny is now after this coin (a coin that couldn't even fill it's quota). So the coin that was forgotten now becomes a national rarity because the fake man spun a BS story and it wouldn't surprise me if the RM itself isn't lurking somewhere in the background

There is one difference that should be noted. Although they call themselves "The daily Mail or "The mail online". They have nothing to do with the newspaper with the same name. They are fantasists at best . Known today as "Fake News"

If it's that good why are you touting it on a coin forum? surely something so epic would need a national platform would it not? Jog on sonny not all of us just swam up the thames

your looking at a 5 mick the 6 is underneath it. get your windows magnifier out and you will see it

all to do with the said governments wanting to keep historical items in their own country so if you want to free the article from its native home you need to pay the man. Depending on value and age.

you'll need a real close up pic of the date only. impossible to see anything from the pictures

I wanted a near mint version. Coins never stay long with me. I think I have said before I am a kind of go between finding the best homes for coins that would otherwise just rot in a tin somewhere. Of course a few extra quid never hurts . But I know all the coins I have moved on and some are members from here have ended up in the correct collections in my mind. My only trouble is letting them go lol which sounds daft. I still have a few irons in fires some unlisted oddities still to surface. I catalogue them then as I search and search they go in to that draw called safe keeping and probably never surface again. Until I remember where safe keeping is

Well hold me down and call me matilda The debate that rages on and on about 1826/5 1825/6 is there one and which is it. Well hopefully I can shed some light to this argument. Seems it's my week for finding something I will post a better pic once it lands on blighty shores. It is enroute as we speak. Clearly and unmistakably 1825 struck over 6

I'll post this here seeing as my original thread got ganked by a business tout I only know of 1 other that is because I owned it. But sold it on a few years back. Been actively searching for another in a really nice grade but alas so far have not found any and this one is the only one I have found in the few years gap. Unlisted variety and should really be confirmed as I owned this and 1 other. Obviously quite rare 1826 Half Penny with Roman I for 1

I click anything. Got more protection than MI5 lol. I guess it would depend on the link title. Obv if onedrive is in the make up I would think it's safe but from a poster with no previous posts I would air on the side of caution and let some dumb sod like me click it

Although I cannot see any sig on bust I am sure it must be there pretty sure you have 2+D F10 Penny

exactly

I have actively searched for these coins seeing as the farthings had the Roman I for 1 and a few of our silver denoms had them. Well about 3 years ago I found 1 wasn't in too bad condition VF . Sold it and have looked for another since then. At last I have located a 2nd 1826 halfpenny with roman I for 1 . Fom memory it looks the same as in the style and boldness as the one I sold on. This one not in as good a condition but nevertheless it's a rare coin be interested to know if any of you guys hold one in your collections

<<<<<<< missed the boat as usual

I am thinking they meant to put NO W W. probably were gassing about what they were up to the weekend and buggered it up lol

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1878-GOTHIC-FLORIN-VICTORIA-MS61-765/253468651604 According to the label NO DIE NUMBER. I guess they missed that great big 54 or did they think it was on the reverse? and a rotated axis . hmmm
