I was browsing through pre decimal listing & came across this 25,to me the date does'nt look right,i think we've discussed the suspicious bidding by the under bidder in the past.

The coin looks OK but it's only VF and already up to $137 so I wouldnt want to pay too much more

Hi, Just a brand newbie here retired for a while and reviving the old hobby of long ago, I haven't really looked into it since the 1980s. I have a near set of Pennies, every one personally collected from my own pocket change long ago, Â£5 in pennies on one side still too. I 100% had a 25 but somehow it disapeared back then, after letting my son's show their friends my collection. So that to replace and a 1926 which I have never had and apart from the big one 1930 that is a full date set for me. So I am inerested in catching up on whats available.

Hi Possie Ron, :welcome: to the forum. It's wonderful to see a new member posting straight away. :yahoo:

Thank you for the reception I am overwhelmed. I have only been back with it for a week, I have been trying on other sites but the responce has been like watching paint dry. As I learn to use the pages here posting pic's etc I will try to contribute.

:welcome: to the forum Possie Ron,you'll probably notice a huge price difference since you bought any coins but in saying that things seem to a bit slow at the moment with a lot of people struggling for a dollar and having to sell their collections off cheap so its a good time to find a bargain

Thank you Steve, I have never actually bought a coin, everthing is out of pocket and gifts from friends. 1,200 pennies and about 300 other pieces. But I will be buying a few more bits to compliment what I have I am sure. Only an old pensioner so do as I can when I can.

Welcome Ron, hope you find the forum both fun and imformative. With the mob here you will find all that you require and more.! Don't forget to check all the pennies for errors and die cracks, this will add another dimension to your collecting.!
As I found out no question is irrevelant and no answer is too difficult for a new member. Best wishes with your reborn interest.!!:ok:

Thank you Robster. It is so nice to be welcomed to this group. As I was sorting through what I have here a couple of days ago,. I did notice one coin I think it was in the 50s, in particular had a large piece of edge flat. Obviously a miss stamp not after damaged. Does that make it of interest ??

Robster · February 28, 2013, 07:26:41 PM

The best way to solve any mystery is to post nice clear photos here and somebody will provide an answer.!:scratch_one-s_head:

Welcome to the forum and enjoy your time with us. (That's one pensioner to another). However, I am sure we are not the only ones.
