Hello again NumisRob. Thanks for the info. I've just had a quick look through my decimal one pennies and found a couple from 1994 (Maklouf) that may be of interest. They show the differences in the rivets on the portcullis. From 1971 to 85 they all have simple bosses, then up to 1994 both types exist, but after that they all have the incuse ring, except for 2007. I'll look into what you said about the serifs when I'm back from my busman's holiday.   |

Thanks for posting, Spyro! The difference is very clear on those two pennies!  |

Here are a couple of small 10p pieces. The shinier one is 2008, the other is 2004. If you look closely you'll see distinct differences in the dies. The easiest place to start is the jawline of the lion. (I wonder if the Mint hired two separate lions to pose for these?) The differences are more noticeable on the older florin-sized 10ps, and also on proof and BU examples. The differences in the thistle of the Ironside 5p are limited to the larger older ones. More to follow but don't hold your breath!   |

I got three 2025 5p coins in change together yesterday. These are the first I've had:  |

My other half got two new 5ps at Heathrow as we were leaving. That along with my sister giving me a new £1 and a 2016 commemorative £2, and getting a Scottish £5 note, wasn't a bad trip to the UK.

Hello. Here's a couple of pics of a Charles III pound coin that arrived in my change the other day. Nice to see them about. I don't think there'll be many Charles III coins issued cos of the way everyone's using plastic. Such a shame cos they're a lovely set of coins...   |
