I went and picked up my 10000 thousand pennies but made a stop at a buddy house he give me this coin. I like it I love different coins from different countries.
For people out there that might not no a new guy there are writing on the edge of this coin to. I wish it was in a little better shape but I will take it does anybody got anything about this coin I done some reading about it it seems like it was a pretty nice coin they had come up with but it only was in production for 9 months plus it's got the biggest mintage for a coin out of all that was made done a little bit of reading is it a keeper or just not worth nothing.
The edge writing should be DECUS ET TUTAMEN - "an ornament and a safeguard". This was originally used to prevent people from clipping the edges of silver coins to make a little extra from melting the clippings. Some of them ended up quite small... It's not worth a lot - very high mintage and this one's seen a lot of action. The words you used were: "I like it". So it's a keeper, at least until you get a better one.
Thanks I got a 50p it is a 1997 and I got a two pence it is a 1990 got all 3 of these coins buddy mine he does alot of trading he give them to me plus a couple wheat Penny's. A really nice chocolate brown color nice shape it's a 1953 p really nice color he comes up with some nice coins. But thanks for being nice for real I can't really trust nobody on here I just got told that a guy was trying to kick me off the site. He told the guy that he is not doing nothing wrong you guys give him a rough time I heard all about t think you guys are in the wrong put him out right on front street this guy looks at ever post I put up and has never said nothing nice I already ready knew about him but I know today for sure I love when a plan comes together.
What was you trying to get at about the wait thing. I picked up another one I don't know if I should post it right now or not it's a 1990 2 pence it's the better shape one as grade wise but I don't know if they have any value don't want to bother you if you are busy.
At some point didn't you say something about letting your coin collect dust? I took that to mean you were asking us if you should hold onto it or not, or was that a different one of your many threads? I can't keep up sometimes. or do you mean "the wait thing" as in the weight? You can sometimes use weight to determine which specific variety of a coin you have.
I just meant should I keep it and just put it back with the rest of my old different types of country coins I have a bunch I just like them I'm sure I not got no money ones but you never know I could run across one don't want it to pass me up. But thanks for all the info
Yeah it was I am going to keep it to I can at least find a better looking one this one is a little bit ruff.
That is a super nice coin a guy give me a box of old coins they had a lot of different types of coins in it. I found some I never seen before I love the different types of coins they pretty cool they come up with a lot of different types of coins.
Hek yeah that's pretty nice than you can buy one pound cake so it is worth hanging on to you never know I might make a trip I have plenty of coins from that away I am not going to take a picture of everyone I have a bunch saved up.
