Greg Yes, I see the photos! Sometimes I can't see certain pics when viewing from work, but can see all at home. Your pics I can see from work...
Seconded! The geezer sounds well dodgy! Drugs or not, some sound justice ought to be meted out; unfortunately, in the society we live in, these...
Greg Very nice! Did he bring spare ones to bake into the Christmas pudding? A British tradition was to do that with silver 3d coins, and then...
Greg Yes, that is indeed a cool piece! I have seen similar, but what with it being your dad, that makes it extra special! How long did it take...
So yes - a good buy!!
Assuming: - price of silver = $33/oz (per Kitco this morning) - 50% silver (weight below is weight of silver content only) 2/- = 0.1818oz,...
Very nice indeed! Congrats!
Yes. You can still go to certain banks and exchange them though. So that and the 1973 & 1992/3 EU reverse are no longer with us!
Also this link from the Royal Mint: http://www.royalmint.com/Corporate/facts/CounterfeitPoundCoins.aspx contains a link at the bottom to a...
Yes, that 1994 WWII D-Day commemmorative reverse is a really good one! I remember going to the bank that year and buying about 20 of them and...
A splendid set indeed! I'd love to have such a set :)

I think all Victoria's coins are beautiful, especially the shield halfcrowns like this - very ornate (esp 1887 - 1901) ... thanks for posting! I...
Another example of a rare mint set is the 1986 Irish one, mintage 6,750. The reason it's currently valued at €575 is that the ½p, 10p and 50p...
A fairly common trait is that the edge inscriptions on fake £1 coins range from moderate to downright awful! So, missing letters, or letters that...
It's pretty much over the range - I know for sure it afflicts pre-1997 issues, not sure about the Bridges series or not yet. However, I don't...
Very nice! I'd say MS-65 for the 1901 and MS-64 for 1899.
A good article by the Royal Mint is available from the link below: http://www.royalmint.com/Corporate/facts/CounterfeitPoundCoins.aspx There...
As stated, the existing coins of Elizabeth II will remain in circulation wherever, and the new monarch's portrait will circulate alongside. It...
One easy way to spot the 'better made' ones is to look for mismatched obverses and reverses. The clowns that forge them are often so stupid to put...
