Yes, this is normal for this issue. There are known to be specimens where part of the lettering is missing, but for the orientation, either way...
Yes - around 1 in 36 £1 coins are fake ... most are 'dated' 1983 - 1988, but there are some newer ones (like yours) that are dated later. I did,...
I came across a pretty nice silver Newfoundland 10 cents dated 1941 in a local dealer's "junk" box yesterday. I'd say it was in gVF or EF (UK...
Yes - it is a marvellous design! Shared with the farthing and halfpenny up until 1936, and then after decimalisation, Britannia went to the 50p....
The 1 peseta coin's 'actual' date is contained in the stars on the obverse, either side of "UNA"; one will have '19', the other the actual...
Two good references for web notes: http://quadrigaancients.com/web/ http://www.uspapermoney.info/ The latter has a wealth of info on US paper...
Actually, that's better! One from the US would be probably half a sheet of vellum, with the [translated] inscription: CENTENNIAL CATALOGUE OF...
The first UK coin with a date on it was dated 1551, and was a crown (if I recall). The calendar reform of that year was only to do with the...
Both the plastic (Unc) and proof sets of 1953 are common. There were 40,000 proof sets minted, and over 1 million of the plastic sets issued....
Nice find, esp for the 1950! The 1950 has a higher mintage, but is rarer to find decent examples than 1951 (120,000).
All right ... bid won & paid for ... PM with your shipping address, and I'll do the same!
If, any time, you happen to see a 1981 10p available, could you let me know? It's pretty much the only Unc decimal I have left to get prior to 1995.
In theory, the crown-sized £5 coin (1990 onwards) could circulate in the UK ... unlikely, but it is legal tender for that amount. By the same...
No prob! I'll keep an eye on the auction. Bidding is currently at $0.99 plus S&H. I think I might go for the Rabbie Burns £2 ... I don't have...
Sounds good! I have placed the bid, and it ends in 11 hours or so.
22 carat gold, .916 fine gold. There may not be a letter - if that's the case, it's a London sovereign. Best to weigh the coin if you can to get...
Looks like a sov by colour & inscription (bronze coins have the full inscription, but spell out FID: DEF, for example, so it's not one of those),...
Let me think! Have any 1981 10p? If not, maybe some 2011 decimals? I have to say it was weird when I visited last autumn seeing the occasional...
Yes, I see that listing ... I'd be glad to bid for you and send it on ...
It seems as if there are always these common coins that are, in fact, elusive! I for one cannot find, for love nor money, a 1981 UK 10p in Unc!...
