madmaria New Member United Kingdom 4 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 10:12 pm Hi I am a newbie on here so first of all I posted this on the uk sections then deleted it and put it on here I have a few coins I would like identifying and one puzzeler. I have an 1860 with a flaw on top of the queens head and wondered if you could tell me what it was and if it made the coin more valuable. Also I have a model half farthing that I can not find a match for on the internet as mine is sort of brass looking. Finally the last one is a token/coin and havent got a clue what it is or what it is worth if anything thank you in advance your help is much appreciated. madmaria Report this Post to the Staff

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
