    Hiya all

    Greetings. Post a few pictures of the unidentified ones and you'll probably get some answers.
  3. Delusional is the first word that springs to mind.

    Pennies High grade.

    1826 penny token?

    That's unusual.

    Christmas Sixpence 2017

    Doesn't appeal to me. I don't even consider it to be a sixpence - it's just a made up round shiny thing designed to relieve you of your dough.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    No mate, no. It's low tide, innit? Says so on the listing.

    last dregs

    I wouldn't mind so much if they were, in any way, nice.

    Hard to have much sympathy, isn't it?

    Call yourself a collector, eh? Someone's going to be upset with that one.

    1853 Halfpenny

    Looks normal to me. A nice one though.

    Maria Theresia Taler

    Ahh, of course. Silly me.
  14. mrbadexample

    Maria Theresia Taler

    Yes, true enough I guess. Incidentally, do we know anything about the metal composition of the Chinese fake wreath crowns, for example? Are they using silver?
  15. mrbadexample

    Maria Theresia Taler

    It's not entirely conclusive, of course: it shows there is some silver, but not how much.
  16. 'tis only a guess Rob but hopefully it's nothing more sinister than that.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    They don't sell though. Looking at the sold listings most "error" £1s go for a couple of quid + postage. This one made me laugh though. You can hardly see the join.
  18. This is a complete guess: A Facebook user posts a picture of a coin. Q: "That's nice, where did you get it?" A: "RP Coins" https://www.rpcoins.co.uk/pages/coins This would generate a little preview of your website with the link. If someone clicked the link, could that be a Facebook referral?

    Charles I shilling CHRSTO

    Thanks Rob.

    Charles I shilling CHRSTO

    Morning all. Please bear with me because I've no business being on the hammered section of the forum. I've seen this Charles I shilling on a Faceache group. I believe the legend should read "CHRISTO" but the I is missing. Can someone tell me more about this coin please? Thanks, Jon

    I'd like to know too. I suspect something more advanced than Paint is required.

    LCA nonsense

    Nor me.

    LCA nonsense

    1856 rigsbankskilling currently being advertised by LCA for their December auction, with a suggested valuation of $700. If it were a Copenhagen mint mark (crown) then this might be the case. However, this has the Altona mint mark (orb), and is worth comfortably less than $50 IMO. I paid £1.57 for mine. It'll be interesting to see if this is corrected prior to the auction, and what it actually sells for.
