  1. The lion on the crown etc
  2. well i did get one - i must admit it is not really that awful , while the coin itself is actually a white metal (full marks for that!) the packing is super - just a shame a few details are wrong - no reeded edge to the coin but there again they have to be sure you can tell it from an original coin
  3. i really have a good mind to get one of these free on saturday - just so i can laugh at it and how bad it looks
  4. Does the BM stand for BM bargains?
  5. The 1775 farthing for sale on the cambridge coins website for £75 is also an obvious fake - all-beit a contemp one

    NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms - Oh damn!

    But nobody expects "The Spanish inquisition"!
  10. What did they call july before Julius caesar was born? Surely the romans did not walk around with several unnamed months before they were named properly - this would create lots of problems at work trying to get through to your employer what time you want off , though not as much bother for slaves as you could just refuse them any time off (great to be the boss ain't it ! ) LOL
  11. Ok hodgeson did not on purpose set out to lose the world cup but in the end the buck has to stop with someone and someone has to go too make way for someone better (hopefully?) lol
  12. Anyone think hodgeson should go? Sorry i think he should , in the end he is taking a wage 12 x more than he deserves
  13. LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE COMING BACK IN THE NEXT DAY OR SO WITH THE WOODEN SPOON> At least they gave it a go though SPAIN were attrocious.

  17. would be funny to see prince charles in one. not for real , i mean a doctored photo (not sure if doctored is the right word) lol
  18. reviews are quite funny - prob worth buying just to leave a scolding review lol

    My First Slab

    They charge a fortune for putting it in a "plastic tomb" and cannot be bothered putting even the most basic info on the coin - they miss off the moneyer

    Midland Coin Fair - Suitable For Beginners?

    i would love to go i went three months ago and had a field day bought loads of good stuff including a 1856 farthing e/r in fine grade for £6 , beat that guys!!!!!! I have been rota in to work today (grrrrrrrrr) and i have two adult entry tickets for the west midland safari park (via clubcard) valid for six months ( as i cannot justify traveling 120 miles just for a coin fair to my partner , there has to be something else....

    it has gone worse yes but the coins are at least not made as cheap as pos like in the usa , cent coins are very poorly made

    Churchill

    must be one somewhere - afterall mintage was over 5,000,000 not bad for a coin everyone considers ugly

    Cracking Queen

    Maybe a obverse die that was due to be scraped wasn't and was accidentally used again by mistake - my idea of what happened
  24. copper123

    Cracking Queen

    I suspect it happened because of the "dent" rose obverse 20p die was twined with the wrong reverse. Easy mistake to make i would emagin when you have two different obverses and two different reverses in one year
