Thanks Mike. -
London Coins Auction - Anybody Attend?
mrbadexample replied to VickySilver's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
What is it then Pete? -
I have one but no spare Pete, sorry. I still need 2002 Scotland, Wales, both 2008 Olympics, 2011 King James Bible, 2015 Royal Navy, 2016 Shakespeare comedies, Britannia, Army and Great Fire of London. I refuse to pay more than face value for circulating decimals. I still need 13 Olympic 50ps. I was a bit late to the party collecting those.

Just a damaged 1886 I think? -
Did you have any luck Brian?
-
No issues for me either Mike.
-
That's a very nice find for 50p. Personally I wouldn't get it slabbed but if you're just looking to sell it it might be worth it.
-
He's sold 5 so far.
-
Well, you know what you're getting.

Somewhat damning description on the slab. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1877-Indian-Cent-Penny-1C-Certified-ANACS-VG8-Details-Rare-Key-Date-Coin-/142484906175?hash=item212cc320bf:g:oC4AAOSwoydWpU8g

It's caused during the striking process when the two dies clash together without a blank planchet in between. Part of the design is then transferred to the opposing die. Subsequent coins struck will then have a faint impression from the other side, as yours does. In modern production this is likely to affect large numbers of coins so I don't think you could class it as rare.
-
Yes.
-
I'm not buying that one, it's covered in hairlines so it must have been cleaned.
-
It does make me wonder if I shouldn't be taking a hammer / chisel / anvil / grinder to my nice £1s to make some errors. There are some seriously stupid people out there.
-
I also reported it. Seems that multiple reports is the key.

Go on then, I'll play. You need some low grade examples to add to the mix. -
I can't help Brian, but if you post it here you'll almost certainly get your answer.

where to cash in new pence 2p coins from 1971-1983
mrbadexample replied to dorey's topic in Decimal Coins
Two pence. Very slightly over that if you melt them down for scrap, as I understand it. -
I stumbled across the first series quite by accident, but thought it was a little gem.
-
And me, for all the good it'll do.
-
Any left?
