"Well" or "So" to start a reply to someone...
Bronze & Copper Collector replied to 1949threepence's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Much on the same context.. Someone asks you if you have the time. You look at your watch and say yes. They never asked for the time, although it is implied that they were looking for the current time . So many instances of idiom and implied, versus literal.... -

Shouldn't it be "May" and not "Can"?? Possibly, in this sense however, "Can" is acceptable, inasmuch as the restaurant may not have all the ingredients in stock. Ergo, you may have a ham sandwich, except for the fact that we don't have all the ingredients. Therefore you can't have one. -

Listening to US Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren starting most of her responses with "so", was one of the most annoying speaking habits to which I've been exposed. I've always felt that the use of "so", or "well", was superfluous and annoying and indicative of poor public speaking training and habit. I've nothing against its occasional use, however it's consistent usage makes it, to me, a point of caricature. -

Coincidentally, I have recently submitted it to NGC for conservation (along with another coin) and am awaiting its return. Hopefully it will arrive within a month or so... -

Is this right for an 1861 F over P Halfpenny?
Bronze & Copper Collector replied to Paddy's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I concur with Bernie... Looks as all legitimate F/P's look. I too have it on reverse G, paired with both obverse 6 and 7. I've seen other F/P claims with other obverse and or reverses, but I've yet to see one that I would accept as such. Not to say that they do not exist, merely that I haven't seen an example yet. -

more FAKES
Bronze & Copper Collector replied to numismatist's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I had listed some lots of Halfpennies and pennies, identified by Freeman numbers and ebays' bots kicked it out as using numerical grading..... I had to change it from F number to Freeman number to get it to list.... -
There are times that it looks like an obverse 6 too.... You have the coin in hand so I'll defer to your assessment. Images can be deceptive even with no deception intended....
-
Image looks like a 7 & G, F-282.. Can't be sure unless it's in hand
-
Technically, by ebay policy, this listing should not be allowed, inasmuch as it is being listed with a numeric grade not assigned by an officially recognized grading service. Number two, without having the references handy, I believe a Poor-1 needs to be identifiable to some minimal degree. This coin does not fit that description .... That being said, I can appreciate the humor of the listing, as I have similarly had "world's worst coins" listed in the distant past....
