    Here is a 1893 Hong Kong 1/2, and a Jamaica Penny (1909), which I add only because this thread prompted me to buy it from a local coin store for $5.

    Well I got a curve ball for you. While buying coins from one of my british sellers I saw he had this item listed and I loved the design and bought it. Its not a coin but its gold and British. And it was only 40$.:):):)

    Well I got lucky and the same seller for the 1862 1/2D accepted my offer on the two below coins. Today was a good day.

    I've always thought this was such a cool design, that I had to pick up two:

    I see tons of British half pennies and pennies. Recently I found a 1965 Fiji 3-pence coin in a coin lot.

    This half crown is on the way. It's a good upgrade from my current. $_12.JPG

    mark240590 Rule Britannia !

    My last two weeks of change checking for the 2015 issues have gone very well. This year is a little more interesting though because they're issuing ones with the 4th and fifth portraits on including changing the basic £1 & £2 designs, the £2 technology is the last year now being in since '97 and replacing it is a new type of Britannia. I've posted my bunc one here earlier :) ImageUploadedByTapatalk1439145518.722923.jpg

    I now only need the 4th portait 50p and whatever commemoratives they decide to issue of the 4th portrait along with the 5th commemoratives and the 20,50, £1 & £2

    Since I no longer live in the UK, I've had to resort to buying sets from the mint. With the new portrait there are a LOT of coins this year...

    And the fifth portrait, royal arms pound isn't even in the sets...
