I must admit out of all the predecimal bronze/copper coins available i think farthings would be my fave. You know what i was like with the...
I don't mind the wrens but i prefer a cross and pellets myself. Britannia is always good, especially the late milled copper types George...
I am known for really quick responses on the initial posting. ;) But i did miss out the tin farthings! (Which is the one i liked). Silver...
Ah farthings my father's old favourite. I like them myself but i've never actively collected them. Any particular farthings you are interested...
Where's the 2/6d GD? ;)
I do spend most of my time collecting circulated coins it must be said. I rarely buy UNCs. Only 20th century coins are UNC. Usually with...
I forgot about that. Yes i stand corrected i did see one Edward VII 1902 Proof set, the gold was wonderful. The silver had toned awfully and was...
I agree Cloudsweeper. It also makes me think it's artificial. Maybe it has alot to do with US storage methods and how they are different from UK...

You think i'm being an error myself here? ;) Be warned i do play devil's advocate, and i enjoy a good debate. It's boring when everyone...
Perhaps we are at cross purposes here because of one factor we have not taken into account. What period of coins do you collect? 19th/20th...
Error to me means human error, if it's a caused by a mint employee during the die preparation stage then it's an error. Anything that happens...
No you didn't alienate me, infact you hit the nail right on the head there with that. Semantics is everything in this argument. It's all a...
I'm following 2 and 3. Generally i also follow 1 as well but just recently i've been doing it the other way around again. I don't make a point of...
I don't believe in errors, they don't exist. ;)
Update on my oldest, it was an 1136 Penny, but due to recent additions here and there it's now an English penny from the 899-924AD period.
In my view verdigris simply has to come off... the faster the better. Either way it's a damaged coin, i don't like dipping coins in things so much...
