UK Coins From A Small Lot Purchase

I believe he's saying that your nose is grotesquely large. I wouldn't put up with such abuse if I were you.

From the Cambridge Dictionary:
Snaffle (v.): to take something quickly for yourself, in a way that prevents someone else from having or using it.

And GR58, you ought to show off your New Brunswick Half Penny and Bank of Upper Canada tokens on the Canadian Forum!

Didn't read your original post in detail. Sorry. Just recognized them as early Canadian. Believe the New Brunswick was minted in defiance of explicit orders from Britain.

I believe we've already established (in a different subforum) that this is a penny.
Both 1d and 2d bearing the date of 1797 (although they were minted over some years, including "late Soho" restrikes) have the same unique design which has subsequently become known as "cartwheel". They were minted with the weight of 1 (Avoirdupois) ounce for 1d and 2 ounces for 2d with the idea that the face value of the coins would match their intrinsic value. But in just a few years the price of copper drastically increased, so in the next issue, dated 1806, copper pennies shed the third of their weight while twopence production was terminated.

To "snaffle" something is UK slang to grab something quickly before somebody else does. It is a fairly inoffensive term and implies some degree of craft or cleverness on the part of the person doing the snaffling.

That is a very good "snaffle".

Please would you post obverse/reverse pictures of the copper coin with a sailing ship - looks interesting.

That's the illegally-minted New Brunswick token I was talking about.
