Can anyone solve this mystery for me? I have a Microsoft Live account which I only use for the free 5GB storage it offers. I always used to access OneDrive by logging into the hotmail account, then selecting OneDrive from the little square icon representing the apps associated with an account.
Just recently, I've done the same thing - logged into my hotmail account - and there is no way to access OneDrive or any other app from there. That little square icon of tiny squares has gone. What gives? How do you access your OneDrive?

Since when was the MG "mid-engined"?

Given to me as a schoolboy in 1968 - in change, from a bus conductor! I'd only just started collecting, and I didn't have any 1926. It was many months before I realised (oh happy day) that it was an ME.
Blakey - one very similar to yours (but with an attractive green patina) went for over £300 at Warwick & Warwick, back in 2001.

Was there one actual bidder?
Someone trying to prevent the sale! Actually, both his coins are unique - there's no other quite like them.

I have a farthing and a penny with King Edwards head on but the text around the head reads "Georgivs"
Can anyone offer an explanation to this please?
George V and Edward VII have similar portraits. If facing right and dated 1902-10, it's Edward and the legend says EDWARDVS, if facing left and dated 1911-36, it's George and the legend says GEORGIVS. £ to a penny yours is George.

it's a penny - the 2d (for unknown reasons) has a proportionately larger head in relation to the central area within the raised rim.

Yes, M.E. - and very rare in that grade. GEF with dark red lustre - you're looking at a £1k coin minimum.

Here's what you can do:
1. get some silver dip (Goddards)
2. lower the ugliest coin into the dip for a MAXIMUM 10 seconds
3. rinse immediately and thoroughly, and DAB (not wipe) dry with a clean towel
If it works but not sufficiently, then repeat ONCE ONLY.
Good luck!

Wonder how many people took them up on their offer of a £1 banknote instead of gold? Not many, I'd wager.

Wow, someone got a bargain! If I'd known about it I'd have bid on it.

And that's WITH "For the sake of completeness, a few spots of foreign matter are noted around Victoria's head". You mean, the coin would be incomplete without a few spots of foreign matter???

What actually was the price? (Doesn't give it on that link).

They wouldn't be allowed to call themselves MailOnline and use the logo, if they weren't part of the same group. They'd have been taken down or sued long ago.

What you say is "fake news"! The Mail Online is absolutely the online arm of the newspaper (aka xenophobic toilet paper).
This is what the site says:
MailOnline publishes content produced by its own editorial team as well as content from the Daily Mail newspaper and The Mail on Sunday newspaper.

I would certainly say that any listing claiming any bronze coin dated 1971 was "ultra rare", is neither reliable or trustworthy. In fact, it's a downright untruth. Any journalist who accepts such garbage on face value, is a fool.

Worse still is the apparent belief that eBay listings are reliable and trustworthy.

Is that the edition split into three horizontal strips so you can compare particular obverses and reverses side by side? I have that one, and wouldn't part with it - very clever idea.

If a coin has been 'improved' by a careful act of cleaning, then I see nothing wrong with that, in fact I would applaud it. There are a mix of positive actions, such as gentle washing, extremely brief dipping to remove ugly tarnish, the application of surgical spirit to remove surface grime, acetone, or the long term soaking in olive oil to remove corrosion, etc. They are all cleaning, but can be done with care and attention.
However, if a coin LOOKS cleaned - polished, unnaturally toned by dipping, or covered with hairlines - then that's a Bad Thing and will negatively affect the coin's value.

It's a form of propaganda by showing the head of state as a strong robust woman and not a frail old lady - just a slightly more subtle way of doing it than that media shot catching Putin with his top off in that Siberian river.
Don't forget "and stable".

11 hours ago, NRP said:When we do a coin fair in America any coin over the value of 37,000gbp (i think, the figure is around this value) needs an export licence, you have to provide a picture, provenance, value etc, if they are happy with the information provided it normally takes around 7 days. Its a real hassle though but necessary.
LOL. I don't think there are too many coins valued at over £37k !!

Mystery solved. The square icon HAS gone as part of the new layout, but there's a new set of drop down menus one of which is "Products"; in there is OneDrive. But you know what they say in software - "If it ain't broke, we'll fix it".
