    I've deleted them all. They must make make a fortune from people's impulsive click-buying once they've got them to link a source of finance to their devices.

    Morning all! Just popping in to say hi as I'm sat in my car, hoping it stops raining soon so I don't have to get wet walking to work!

    I pay for car parking in cash so I check all my £1 coins and I recently found a Cardiff and a Belfast and a Scottish thistle. Are they actually worth selling? I've no idea how to go about it, or whether they might be worth more when the round pound coin is withdrawn. Any advice from anyone in the know would be appreciated please and thank you :)

    ditto as well.

    I am wondering how we clean them - I was thinking that maybe some sort of vinegar would make them shiny?
    Is it worth actually selling them on ebay - the prices seem to vary wildly?
    Also I was worried about that one yesterday which had the words milled on the side upside down but how could you tell?
    I am thinking of getting several £10 notes to use when buying something for under a pound and asking for all of the change in pound coins - then I could take all of the very common pound coins and deposit them back in the building society every week, saving anything of interest.
    We could do with a pictorial chart of the very common ones as well, the ones that go straight back to the bank.

    There is an expert in everything on the Elite so there must a coin collector musnt there????

    Good morning everyone :wave:




    You've flushed me out pacifica9 lol

    Thank you for asking, very kind of you. I hope you are well.

    In a nutshell, I had a really bad time and was hospitalised with Life-threatening Neutropenic Sepsis after my first round of chemotherapy.
    I met with my Oncologist yesterday, and my 2 round is going ahead tomorrow :eek:

    He's reducing my dose by 10%, so he's not trying to kill me so much :o

    My positive thoughts to everyone who is poorly and/or down :A

    Lovely to see you popping in, sorry you was so unwell last time, hope this one's goes smoother x
