    Napalm. It's the only way.

    Bags of Roman

    They don't turn up that nice very often. I think we've had about 20 silver for some 2000 copper alloy of mixed quality.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    You misundertand Pete when he says "typical ebay seller". Rougly translated it means people who aren't sufficiently concise about their ebay dealings and who don't frequent this fine establishment
  4. Feel free to let me know when you do
  5. I'd be mighty happy with both of those!

    Royal Mint Circulation figures

    For anyone hunting down commemorative figures, they're here .. https://www.royalmint.com/discover/uk-coins/circulation-coin-mintage-figures/ Oddly not attached to the "other" mintage figures.
  7. I hate Chrome. Firefox wins.
  8. it has good instructions but you need to be a bit techy. I'll convert them all to laymans terms when I get some time, it will be scary but it isn't actually hard.
  9. Here's a useful link http://lmgtfy.com/?q=How+do+I+stop+videos+from+playing+automatically+in+Firefox%3F #DontKillMe
  10. For that, look for a content blocker and then check out how to stop the videos even loading
  11. Mozilla realised that their signing check in the new update invalidated pretty much every addon for 48 hours, so thay applied a fix sometime about 2pm GMT yesterday. I realised how much I hate the internet without Adblock

    Silver ancient coin unidentified help please

    I'd stab at something like a campania nomos or didrachm, but really not my speciality. Welcome to the forum, you are in the right place

    Weird Toning

    I'd go with the quadrums too, I think for coins you want to handle they're the best option. If you look on ebay, pay attention to the pack size. Some are for a 10 pack @ £6.95, other people have packs of 6, 5 or even 2 for that money.

    Royal Mint Circulation figures

    Yep thats the same answer I got, although they do publish the sets and commemorative figures occasionally.. perhaps they'll be up soon. (hence grab some more sets before they skyrocket lol )

    Royal Mint Circulation figures

    2017 £2 coin and 20p coin - these do exist in annual sets, so the mintage was >0 but no further clues available on how many sets were issued. Grab a bargain while you can

    Royal Mint Circulation figures

    The 1992 is no longer a circulation coin as it is a "large 50p", although to me that explanation doesn't stand up very well. I actually blame media hype instead .. and people looking for a quick buck.

    where old pennies go to die

    for me to get better at geography ?

    where old pennies go to die

    I need to sort through Paddy'sfor any lesser known varieties before they go to the penny paradise in the sky. Mine should all be fair game though

    where old pennies go to die

    I wonder if they need another 5kg of them.....
  20. Unwilling Numismatist

    Stephen Hawkings 50p

    These aren't in an annual sets, any cash-cow editions are always presented after the annual set has been released, ensuring further revenue for the mint.

    Latest 50p from the Royal Mint

    Really... no-one? April fools day. Suckers.

    So, Brexit....What's happening?

    I vote @Robfor PM.

    So, Brexit....What's happening?

    Oh, but the majority of voters do want it. It's the majority of remainers who don't want it, but they number less than those of us who voted to leave.

    Latest 50p from the Royal Mint

    I wonder what day it was yesterday...

    Crikey, that looks as rough as a stucco bathtub already! Which one is it?
