some change finds

[scott 144]

got this a few days ago.

every time, useless coins 1997 50's type 1 and 2 1992 10ps and i glanced at that obverse when i got it and put in pocket not very pleased as it was 3rd in a row i got the rubbish, took it out again later and spotted the shine.

found this when sorting through some 20p's

another recent find in a change jar, lustre looked odd, was because of doubling on obverse

Don't worry - coins up to 10 or more years old and virtually BU turn up quite often.

found a 2p 1971 and it was really battered

dents in it

someone must have been trying to make a fake

but the 2 was very visible

Doubtful if anyone would try to fake modern bornze, not even in 1971. Sounds like someone just decided to have some destructive fun with it :-)

Agreed. The meagre return just wouldn't have been worth the effort.
