Here are the farthing, half penny and the three pence. The farthings are mostly pretty rare actually. I only have two.
I'm working on collecting the Irish coins now among my many interests. I like the design and the fact that they haven't been produced for that...
You could have started your own thread instead of hijacking mine, inheritcoins. Anyway, you can't just give a year, you need the country and the...
I don't blame Krause so much as I do Australia. Why can't they just put a letter like most other countries, not a series of dots? With the French...
OK, I see it now. Thanks. This is more complicated than it needs to be.
Krause lists different mintmarks for many Australian coins, but I can't find them anywhere. They all say KG, but that's not the mintmark. The WWII...
I've always loved history and was a history major in college. I see coins as a little tangible bit of history that I can own, and that's what...
I buy a lot of coins on ebay (usually at least one or two a day) and I'd estimate at least 1 in 40 or so never arrives or arrives with the item...
I saw this too. What I didn't understand was there seemed to be some dollars that were slabbed with grades in the 60s, and the dealer was...
Doesn't that apply more to proofs and other new coins? I'd think a coin from 93 years ago that has been in a value bin is probably immune from...
The British 2 shilling is not silver. British coins after 1946 are not silver, while those before generally are unless they're obviously...
My strategy when searching through world coin lots is to grab anything that is older, in great shape or that seems unusual. By unusual I mean it's...
I don't keep track like most people seem to. I have all my coins in 2x2s in plastic pages sorted by country alphabetically. There are about 10...
I get the 2x2s from my local shop at 100 for $4, but the plastic pages are a lot cheaper on Amazon. I think it costs about $15 for 100 plastic...
No, the pennies were still made of the usual mixture during the war in England. Yours has been messed with. It should look like any other year's...
I wanted to share this article with everyone. I didn't see anyone else having posted this, but if they did, be nice....
Someone else shared this site with me. It's a good guide if you don't have a Krause available. I have it bookmarked at the pennies page, but you...
Actually it's straight under the date. For the penny, there's an H in 1874, 1875, 1876, 1881, 1882, 1912, 1918 and 1919. The KN is 1918 and 1919....
I like these types too. I have the complete pennies from 1860 to now and the half pennies and farthings into the 1800s, with some dates missing....
I'm also collecting the Brazilian Reis coins from the same time period you mention. I like the coins and they are low mintages yet usually pretty...
