I suspected that was the case, because the coin was very rare, or in unusually good condition, but I can't believe that something invented last week, that doesn't exist, is such a lure for people. How or why 'mining' happens is a mystery too. When it all collapses into a Malthusian nightmare, and people are jumping off tall buildings like they did 100 years ago, then I'll understand a little more.

Explain this to me please this, bitcoin people : if, for example, you made £1K from buying and selling a bit coin, who has lost £1k?

..but then you lose the understanding of the etymology and derivation of a word which I think is a shame. Mr.Webster can take the blame for this- immigrants couldn't learn English quickly so they simplified it. At least in the US or the UK we don't have to explain to foreigners why we think windows are feminine..... -

I'm working in a better area of Paris right now and everyone is fantastic, but only because, I firmly believe, because of how I treat them in the first place, and keep standards up from then on. If I did the bigmouthed opinionated GB News idiot type of thing, my trip would not be pleasant..... -

I wasn't doing any more than pointing out that right now, more than ever, this confusion exists, and is rarely clarified in televised arguments etc.... -

Anyone know the Lumix DMC-GF2 camera?

Thank you for this- I'm just off to work in Paris, so I'll read more closely when I'm not eating, drinking, or visiting cheese shops.... -
From a pre-ww2 stamp album page header. No wonder we lost everything! Children would have read this.

I thought 'Sandstone Bluff' was a card game......or maybe Donald Fagan's second album..... -
Anyone know the Lumix DMC-GF2 camera?
blakeyboy replied to blakeyboy's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Ah right- I've always held a plano-convex lens over the front of a cheap camera to take pics of coins etc.... ....I have seen some things like that but I don't know the lens/thread terminology very well. Is the extension tone as it sounds? It fits over the lens rather than on the front? -
Anyone know the Lumix DMC-GF2 camera?
blakeyboy posted a topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Yes i know it's old hat and worthless, but I don't have a reasonable camera, and I've just inherited a GF2, with a 14mm lens and a 14-42 lens. I'm hoping, because I think I can turn everything off, that I can do par focal down-the-eypeice shots with a telescope- my crappy auto camera takes pictures of the telescope....:-) I would like to try taking pictures of coins with the GF2, but the only macro lenses I can see seem very expensive- is there a simple screw- in lens available to fit on one of the two lenses I have? -

I still think the 1875h is very overvalued- it's not as rare as it's 'mintage' figures suggest, in my book. -

I laughed so much at the cheek of it I ignored our 'Ebay's worst offerings' section and put it here! My wife has suggested they change their name to "The Dunning-Kruger Coin Company".... -
Coin prices continue to rise
blakeyboy replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
It's all so moronic and designed for rich gullible twats with more money than sense. The giveaway for me, and a main indication of why I won't take notice of this crap is that in the 1952 penny row it has a 'shop now' button. as if you can find one on Ebay!!! The morons who run this site can't see that this is just really sloppy.... -

A fiver. Out of that came the postage, and Ebay's fees. We were left with about £1.80. I was expecting £25+. I have the remains of three pre-WW2 albums, and I'm trying to shift them. I put 20 lots on, all at a fiver start, and only two had bids.
