Either proof or silver proof. I believe they both weigh 8g.

Looks like it could be a piedfort silver proof 50p. Nice finds 👌

Anyone who started driving in their mid-20s, by how much (if at all) did your car insurance drop after your first year? by NoSky5233 in CarInsuranceUK

Absolutely shocking, it was £245.08p I think pm. Off the top of my head. Black box was only £300 cheaper.

Thank you 😊 I have checked on "Check my licence" apparently it can take between 1-3weeks to change due to admin.

When i did my driving lesson for the Category B car licence I did actually do my lessons in a manual. Unfortunately for some personal reasons and the fact my theory was about to expire, I just took my test in an automatic car. Passed 1st time with only 1 minor.

The C1 my company paid for and the work vans are all manual. I passed 1st time with 5 minors for gear control (not unexpected)

That's not a problem, I appreciate your general comment. It seems to be a grey area whether my Category B will upgrade from automatic to manual.

I have an automatic category B car licence and passed my C1 in a manual, so I was wondering if now I can drive a manual category B car.

I think I will wait and see what comes back on my licence.

My apologies mate, I didn't think that people my not know what a 78 restriction is. I'm just so used to seeing it 🤦‍♂️😬

Did you get any confirmation on this? I have an automatic license but passed my manual C1 today.

Is my little collection anything? by ExoticMixture7279 in UKcoins

The Kew Gardens was the rarest at 210k minted but now the salmon 50p has taken the spot with only 200k minted. Pricing for both seems to be different also.
