Title: Crimped Coins
Post by: robbiegal on April 10, 2013, 09:57:58 PM

My crimped coin collection is getting even bigger now with the lastest addition of a QEII halfpenny thanks to a very generous member here - thank -you Robster!! :yahoo:
The halfpenny is a perfect match to the 1934 penny - very sophisticated crimping
Here are my babies with the lovely Liz being the newest additon!!

Different Robbie, pretty cool looking really,here a decimal 10 cent one if your into it,personally i think some bidiot will pay too much for this one though.

Thanks!! OMG - that coin is gorgus!!
but the lister has it as a 'mint error' so it will go for a few bob
whereas, if it was an honest listing about workshop art
well then it'd go for around $15 tops

ho humm

Nice collection Rob. You could start a decimal collection now with that 10c on ebay but I can't bring myself to recommend you purchase it!

Why is that PP? Is it a shed job?

They are all, as Rob says "Workshop Art".

I do have have a 10c piece with an engraved V on it
but that is all

I think that the older crimped coins may have very well been in the trench art genre
whereas the later years , not so sure

some patterns are very thoughtful and evenly spaced clips, so they weren't just kids doing grafitti on a coin

I only keep the neat and evenly spaced ones for my 'odd, unusual and workshop art' album
