The revised version is more up to date on halves I believe.

A little weekend homework

Well then, my wife has just told me that I actually received this from the postman and said, "Oh, is this my valentines present?!!" "No it is a cat food sample I ordered," she told me, happy that she could take it from me quickly before I turned it over and saw the BYB sticker on the back. I didn't think any more of it except that the cats were lucky to be getting treats through the post as my wife is often finding free offers for them. 

I have to say - Mrs BYB and I were very happy about this little cosmic happenstance!
We were pretty worried about either of you recognising the BYB parcel when they came through the door! Glad it was a good surprise for you both and that you guys had a good valentine's day!

First year of Sherlock Holmes, for me

Today I recieved my Coin from the monthly prize draw, the 1 oz lunar goat, over the moon with it! A massive thank you again!
Also a few pick ups over the last couple of weeks, some junk silver for the date runs, my oldest Coin an Edward III silver penny from the Canterbury mint and I have finally completed the 1887 currency set. Next to complete is the 1902-1910 Edward full sovereign date run. 

British trade dollar:


Now riddle me this, it came with a COA but I can't figure out who it is that issued it? Anyone able to shed some light?

Another godless florin... Won't go into the ridiculous lengths I had to go to to retrieve from the post office

The florin was only introduced properly in 1849 (1848 ones are very rare). However after some criticism they changed the design; most notably including dei gratiam (or an abbreviation thereof) and changing to using Roman numerals. The absent dei gra on the 1848/9 florins led to them being colloquially referred to as "Godless florins"
