awallin01 Valued Member United Kingdom 477 Posts	Posted 03/07/2014 5:19 pm I bought this recently from a stall/market, I know it's common but I don't have one and prefer it to a Â£1 coin :D. And no I did not go to town on it with a scouring pad, I guess my lack of vigilance let me down. This next one I bought blindly as I din't know the date, but could see it had been in the wars(in both senses :D). I got this with a silver bladed and mother of pearl handled antique pen knife :).

awallin01 Valued Member United Kingdom 477 Posts	Posted 03/07/2014 5:26 pm Quick FYI, on the crown is a little jewel that had concealed itself on my scanner-ironically placing itself on the crown. It is not part of the piece, my Liberace collection is not on show lol. Report this Post to the Staff

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17949 Posts	Posted 03/24/2014 04:35 am Is this the worst ever 2012 5p coin? I found it lying in the road over the weekend. The 2013 5p alongside is just to show what it SHOULD look like... My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff
Harry213 Pillar of the Community United States 1099 Posts	Posted 03/24/2014 08:53 am NumisRob; It really is a pitiful testament to what the future holds for modern coinage. And distressing to see what the affects of circulation and the environment can do to quickly deteriorate modern coinage. I used to metal detect and when I dug up modern U.S. copper coated zinc pennies, they were completely corroded and practically disintegrated in my hands. And this was only after being buried for less than a decade. Unfortunately our governments are all finding cheaper ways to produce coins by applying micron thin jackets of good metal over a core of steel or zinc that once exposed to the elements just self destructs. Sad. Report this Post to the Staff
rhemata New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 03/25/2014 1:30 pm Hi, I have an 1893 Victorian Penny in excellent condition which may be the Gouby date variety 3 over 2. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Please see uploaded coin image. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Coinaholic73 Valued Member United Kingdom 298 Posts	Posted 03/31/2014 8:58 pm Picked up this 1853 Half Penny recently, never really been interested in the pre-Bronze Victorian stuff but this caught my eye. Report this Post to the Staff
Tom Goodheart Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 856 Posts	Posted 04/27/2014 06:02 am About time we had another hammered coin I think! Though pretty late in the series since it's a shilling of Charles I from around 1634. (By 1663 all coins were machine made). A bit soft (worn) and some weak areas to the legends (I'd have liked a crisper mint mark) but a decent portrait for this type. Plus appears to have reasonable toning which adds to that all important eye appeal! Edited by Tom Goodheart 04/27/2014 06:20 am Report this Post to the Staff
Mattey1976 New Member United Kingdom 19 Posts	Posted 04/27/2014 7:13 pm Beautiful 1902 crown paulus! I have one myself but this one just about edges mine. Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 04/28/2014 2:27 pm I bought this sixpence as an Easter present for myself (since no one sent me anything), and hopefully it's going to give me a little luck finding silver in rolls. They always say, sixpence is lucky I've always preferred this monogram compared to the later one, looks more "royal" to me. The later one just looks a little strange being curly like that.
