Well here first my new baby
I went out of town to get a thing done. Saw one of those road side "antiques" junk shops. So I stop and looked around. Found a bag with some UK coins, my new 12 sided pound. And a few notes. Saw there was a 50, 20 and a 10 pound note. And some coins. So I thought 80 to 90 pounds for 100 dollars. Good enough. God was I wrong there was a 50 pound, two 20 pound and two 10 pound notes. A 10 pound note from Clydesdale bank. And 9 pounds 92 pence in coins. That is altogether 129 pound just 8 pennys short of 130 pounds. For 100 US dollars.
I think someone went to the UK and did not exchange their money. Great for me I think I am ahead in this one.
That makes the cheapest coin I every got. My 2016 1 pound coins was around negative 40 to 45 dollars to get. It nice to get paid for to take a coin you want.
Daryl,
Did you know of the two variants of this coin?
If you look at the obverse side and look for the ETH in ELIZABETH, then turn it to look at the edge, most of them have the milled edge, but some, and that is a very number has the plain edge.
I have checked well over 800 £1 coins now, and found only 2 with the plain edge adjacent to the ETH.
Great purchase by the way. We do not have shops like that in the UK. Went to a small antique market yesterday, and a guy was selling the 1981 Charles and Diana 25 pence coin for £4.00 each. He will be keeping them for a long time
thank you COINMAN1 did not know that. It is with the milled edge next to ELI. Ole should know about this one.
I also got this one. The last one of the Km number I needed
I don't usually post things like this But got a fat head and was very happy and full of myself.
Early,
This how the lettering fits this £1 coin.
E-Milled
LIZ-Plain
AB-Milled
ETH-Plain
II-Milled
D.G-Plain
.R-Milled
EG.-Plain
F.G-Milled
Some of the letters are obviously right at the junction of the plain/milled section. The E of ETH is at this junction.
Checked even more today, but still only found two of these oddities.
I been working on get my UK in order now for two years I keep changing my mind how to have it. I have around 750 coins now from the UK. The 50 p coins I just put in two parts common and commemorative. And have to finish them . Then I will do the same with the 2 pounds coins.
I have mine in date order by denomination. Easier to keep an eye what is missing. Any commemoratives go in another page directly behind the normal circulation coins. This is obviously difficult with some of the denominations, such as £1 & £2, as they all circulated, so these go in date order, keeping the series together. The standard issue £2 coins are also in date order.
All crown sized coins are at the back of the album. Hope this makes sense
Take a look at my swaps and let me know if you are interested in any of them. I only have one or two of some but do not have all types.
I can reserve those you request, whilst you sort out your side
I know iam still missing some Olympic 50 p. But have get everything in catalog to know for sure. and a few common coins. Always looking for UK coins I don't have .
I have 3 Olympic 50p's put aside for you Daryl (just to make sure me and coinman don't duplicate): Basketball, Aquatics & Wheelchair Rugby. I also have a Shakespeare History £2 coin for you.
So of the 29 the page says you have 9 of them (ticked √), and pcarey2003 mentioned the 5 he
is sending you - so is the list correct that you need the other 15, marked in bold letters?
God things have been nuts here. With family ,work and life. Iam sorry this is the first time I had to get back here.
The EAA is all most over. Makes things a mess but a good mess here. This year we had over 10,000 airplanes stuff in 12000 acres. From a B-52 to open air one seaters. A lot of jets this year low and very noisy to weak me up. Thank you ZacUK for the list. And Phil as always thank you for all the help
