    Penny reverse ID please.

    Damn, I wanted it to be obverse 3! How can you tell please Mike? I found that quite a challenge from relatively poor pictures, as I don't have it in hand.

    Penny reverse ID please.

    Thanks Terry. That was my thought too (honest!). What about the obverse then please? This I found much harder and I gave up.

    Post 1947 coins (British and world)

    I'd suggest ebay might be your best bet, without seeing what you have. Things tend to find their level.

    The Gazette - New 10p Designs

    I couldn't agree more. The Beatrix Potter series of coins is the worst thing we've ever produced, by quite some margin. Solely designed as a RM money maker.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    All I could see was a little bit of silver in the guilders and you'd get £2 back for the £2.

    That's because it's 1782. Think you dodged a bullet there.

    Where was the value in that lot? £75?

    See a penny, pick it up...

    Where do you think I got it?

    Good edges too!

    I refuse to draw a line anywhere. 1872:

    EBAY SCAM

    How was it described at the Heritage auction he claims as provenance?
  12. Likewise. Think I filled 26 gaps.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    A seller to avoid. Does a nice line in silver plated 2ps and Chinese fakes too. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unidentified-Tiny-Ancient-Celtic-Geometric-Type-Silver-Coin-6mm-Diameter/292424026458?hash=item4415d4895a:g:A-kAAOSwwZtaakOy
  14. I don't have an 1897 O'NE penny - could it be a feature common to all?
  15. Cheers. As far as I know the dot between the letters in ONE is documented but not sure about the others. Where's Pete when you need him?
  16. I can't see the pictures without signing in to something. Which I have no intention of doing. Are you able to post them here please?

    I think the odds of receiving the pictured coin are about the same as receiving a penny farthing bicycle.

    Description robbed from LCA but not sure about the pictures. But definitely a bargain as worth £1600+ and up for just £350. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Uncirculated-1862-very-rare-Victoria-farthing-penny/202201957087?hash=item2f142d02df:g:kYQAAOSw57xaaLuW

    Silver dollar thing

    Can you email me a picture please Pete?

    My coins

    You're welcome. The green residue could be safely removed from the silver with a little acetone. The pennies aren't worth much in that condition although it is still worth checking for varieties. For example, if the I in BRITT of the 1911 penny points directly to a border tooth then it'd be worth somewhere around £40.
