    I might have found a workaround solution...

    I ordered this from Amazon:

    https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07VDX2TVH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_4QALFbSH0V9A8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

     

    it's a 3 ring grouping, supposedly with the proper spacing for the 2 individual 3 ring sections of an a5 binder. If 2 if these are used separately,  you can make your own binder with the proper spacing between the 2 sections. Just make a front and back cover to protect the saved pages..

    I'll let you know how it works out when I receive the shipment from Amazon..

     

    The 2 individual sets of 3 rings worked out.... these were only 3/4 inch rings, but they matched the spacing as imaged.

    I just cut an unused plastic binder that I had to make front and back covers to protect the pages.

    Not a perfect solution, but for me it works.

    An additional benefit to this option, is that the pages lay flat and you can keep them with the updated guide book.

    Sadly my attention has just been drawn to it 😆 . What a lot of cut and paste rubbish! Why do these people think yards of pointless text enhance the sale of their pointless tatt! EBay should charge by the word, might speed up my internet connection ☹️.

    I would never have thought that it could take so many words to say NOTHING...

    Possibly more words in the listing than in the dictionary....

    No the seller on eBay gave it me 😂 👍

     

    Extraordinarily GENEROUS Seller..

    Unlike most that you find .....

     

     

    Seriously, a lovely coin...

    There was a high grade slabbed example on ebay that became unavailable about a month or two ago.... I was watching it, but it was out of my price range.....

    Was that this specimen???

    You're close to Bletchley Park. Do you ever visit there?

    I went in 2012 - fascinating place.

     

    My father was stationed there during the war.....

    Many fond memories of the area...

    They had a temporary exhibition a few years ago,  that was supposed to be converted to a smaller permanent display, about its role during the war .. My dad sent them some pictures, his library card, and some other memorabilia on loan for the duration....

    Not sure if it still exists though. I haven't heard back from them recently, and he asks me periodically about it. (He's 99, my mom 95, married 73 years this Oct 12).

    If anyone visits Bletchley Park, I'd appreciate an update...

    Not a problem - Doc's exempt, being an NHS worker :lol:

    However, which of the Magnificent Seven will have to take a hike?

    And even 6 Brides can not get together with 6 Brothers...

    One would think that, siblings or not, they would probably want to be alone with each other.

    They would have to remake 7 Brides for 7 Brothers as My One and Only.....

    Hi Everyone,
    We just received this piece back from PCGS: https://www.pcgs.com/cert/40396601. We can't find the overdate listed anywhere and wanted to see if any specialists in British copper knew of such an overdate or if it might be a die flaw instead? I have attached close-ups of the date.

    This is similar in many respects, however I consider it to be a 5/5...

    I'm not sure that yours isn't a 5/5 too...

    That being said, I'll defer to John and Ian for a more definitive response....

    Thanks - how many have you seen, out of interest?

    Just the one....

    For full disclosure, once I checked it off my list, I didn't actively look for more....

    However it did take me awhile to find this specimen...

    Chingford or Alfnail might have more information regarding population...

    Its existence proves that they do exist though...

    Good Hunting.....

    I've got some racing geese for sale. Let me know if you want a quick gander.

    I'll check it out like an EAGLE eye HAWK

    If it's nice, I'll be RAVEN about it. I'm just  BATS about them.

    I might have to DUCK if it flies overhead though..

    The price would have to be fair to you however, inasmuch as I would not want to be ROBIN you. Just as I would not want it to be overpriced, as I am not some PIGEON waiting to be plucked like some CHICKEN.
