Hello to you all Ive just found this sight and can hopefully learn more about my collection of coins. Im some what confused about some of my coins IE-1912H one penny,1919H penny, 1926 one penny and 1922 one penny. Are the last two rare??? I will be able to post more pics of my collection soon. Although unsure what to post as I have some British foreign coins too. Would they be ok???

The H stands for Heaton mint, based in Birmingham. The 1922 and 1926 are not rare but are the scarcest of the George V pennies. Photos would be helpful, and do you mean Commonwealth coins?

Kindest Regards,

Clive.

I like the term British Foreign best!

Hello silver, nice to have a girl here. In the past I've scared some girl members away (at least 1, probably 2!), hopefully I'll not do so in your case.

Thanks to you all for a lovely welcome. I dont scare easily. Ever cornered a cat lol.

Thanks for the warning though. Ive posted some photos into my album.

Is British foreign the wrong term to use?

I assume you mean Commonwealth nation coins when you say British Foreign?

Just to confuse things, I always use the term British Colonial.

Welcome aboard!!

Why don't we ask Aidan what term he would use!

Long term members will remember Eliza, I beleive she worked in a library in a US university so had access to interesting info....I scared off and she never came back. All I did was ask if she was a lesbian when I found out after sending something to her that she lived with another female. She obviously was but hadn't come to terms with it.

Anyway, all are welcome regardless of sexuality, race etc. There are even some pretty old codgers on here, the kind that only B & Q will employ these days

Aidan is a top bloke, so knowledgeable and kind. He always keeps his opinions to him self, a great guy.

Anyway, B&Q eh? I hear they've got a light bulb amnesty on now, sounds as if they're saying that "If you get caught possessing large quantities of light bulbs you could get convicted with possession with intent to supply..." http://www.london.gov.uk/lightbulbs/

But anyway, whatever term you use I'm sure we'll understand!

Hi Silver, welcome to our humble abode.

The 1926 penny could be pretty scarce as they come in two different varieties, one fairly common, the other not so. Very difficult to describe without another coin for comparison, so a picture of the obverse (heads) side would help. There is also a ludicrously rare variety of 1922 penny with a slightly different reverse, but the chances of finding that are slim to zero.
