Good selection of finds coming up. Always great to see history being rescued. Happy hunting out there.

Thanyou. I'd said to the owner there would be one coin, despite the small area and there were 2! Some inane looking bits are often the most informative too. Happy hunting to you too.

Pre decimalization was 1968 to 1970. Decimalization came into force in 1971.

My apologies therefore then this 1968 10p (plus a new 5p) is pre decimalisation day D day except the multiple of 10 is decimal in nature, these 2 decimals (the first decimals) were introduced it seems in that year 1968 and circulated alongside pre-decimals of pounds shillings and pence which then were no longer accepted after D day or 1971. Alot of shops didn't accept the New Pence til 1971, presumably until they we're forced to do so. Personally it seems like it was change for changes sake, the older system seemed perfectly good really. Dave
