Penny Acquisition of the week
mrbadexample replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
It was originally a 1980 penny. -
Might be worth a post on http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/ ?
-
My only observation (apart from liking the countermark) is that it seems the coin was very well worn before the mark was applied.

Let's See Your Copper Coins, Tokens, Or Medals!
mrbadexample replied to brg5658's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Since we are dissecting Mr Gahlin's collection, I have a question regarding token edges. The Bedale halfpenny I bought was listed as DH9. But is this not the engrailed edge, 9b? -

Here's the rest of the page Ian. I had my eye on those too. -
I wonder if the fact that it's hideous has any bearing?

Coin Theft in Plymouth
mrbadexample replied to Paddy's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Blimey Paddy - who knew? I can't help but wonder, since it's being sold as an "album filler", exactly what space is it meant to occupy? -

How to deal with sticky coins?
mrbadexample replied to Ozzy1977's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I'd try just the acetone first & forget the petrol unless the acetone didn't work. -
You're welcome, and I agree...it should have been a 3.

Someone has machined a recess into the 2p and glued a ½p into it.

Heads up on the late Hiram Brown penny collection auction

I found this rummaging through a recent DNW catalogue: -
Obviously it's a halfpenny, but excellent provenance: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Young-Victoria-1-Penny-1858-Bun-DEF/253919070956?hash=item3b1ec18aec:g:PNwAAOSwgEhbilJ2

Newspaper clippings
mrbadexample replied to Diaconis's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Just for those of us with a neck that goes straight up and down. -
Now, now, I don't go around casting disparaging remarks about your coins.

I've never seen anything like that, only the streaky ones. Here's a 1920 - both this and the 1913 above have lamination issues. It looks to me like a problem with the metal mix which is why I always thought this was the brass issue described.

The Great Coin-Hunt 10p
mrbadexample replied to markflorida's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I agree, I don't think they should be doing it. But I don't blame them either. -
Can you show me what you mean? This is the same as any of the others I've seen.

I'm not entirely convinced about the "brass shells in the mix" explanation - has this ever been officially verified? The reason I'm unconvinced is this penny that shows the typical "brass in the mix" effect but that predates WWI. I've also got one or two from 1918.
