Copied from a piece by Dominic Frisby (recommended author):
'In 1695, counterfeit coins accounted for more than a tenth of all English money in circulation. Massive LOL: the English used the counterfeit coins, in particular, to pay their taxes. The Exchequer that year reported no more than ten good shillings for every hundred pounds of revenue.¹ Coin clipping was also a major problem, especially of old coins, and silver coins were disappearing from circulation altogether.
Silver was worth more on the continent as bullion than it was in the UK as tender, so arbitrageurs shipped coins abroad, melted them down, and sold them for gold. Everyone from the Jews to the French was blamed, but by 1695 it was almost impossible to find legal silver in circulation. It had all been melted down and sold.'
Interesting 👍

Copper in a pre-decimal £ is worth £17.13 at current prices and adjusted for inflation a 1971 £ is now worth £13.98.
And the Copper in a pre 1992 £ is worth £2.70, adjusted for inflation the 1992 £ is worth £2.10.
Even lowly Copper is a decent inflation hedge.

Only a little bit of silver from town today….. but it didn’t cost me anything 🤔😮 …. a present 🤔😁

Of course, I didn’t mean to suggest you believed it all 🙂. Was interesting to read out of curiosity 👍

" Today I returned to the Royal Mint " would also be a long, popular thread to 

As an alternative, is anyone interested in a thread called "Today I waited for the postman to deliver..." and we can all post pictures of things we didn't receive.

King World News isn't a bad site, it has some very good guest interviews, although it can be a bit sensationalist.
I did qualify my post by saying "if this is true."

Yeah, Atkinsons have matched other dealer prices for me before once or twice 👍

Looks like customer service at Atkinsons when I ask them to match a lower price.

Wait, you can do that??

Strange.... In the pendant you sold it to me she look beautiful....
 

Looks like my wife when I tell her I've bought another coin
