From mist to hail,to turbulance to tornado,red rain from desert across the world BBC have a good ducumentary polar vortex they say it is connected to dust,fire or warming i think,from solar flare,solar wind maybe comet ison or accumulation of dust in earth,they already said that it will be a cold winter there are 2 vortex in north located in Canada another one in siberia,with all the heat and cold,cold can reach its absolute temperature while heat is planks heat of the universe they say,what earth can hold or limit?,dust to rock even rock have salt and other minerals do not know the freezing point of salt heavy current brine or boiling point of it,....rock salt or and maybe other stones with sodium?,just a comment.

Stay safe. it is in the news. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_vortex http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/10552977/What-is-a-polar-vortex.html BBC have 4 weather episode in weather a compilation another one by National geographic in case the polar vortex hit,what part what continent,it depend on the season when warm air and cold air meet in spring or fall.
  3. Revelation 16:8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire. Revelation 16:21 From the sky huge hailstones, each weighing about a hundred pounds, fell on people. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible. Balance,symbiotic,in harmony... tipping point?

    Removal of 5p and 10p from circulation

    There are other metals as well. Private patterns means you can do what you want - as indeed can the RM. I think I posted an image somewhere. What was the primary purpose of a private pattern? Was it a private submission to a Royal Mint commission for a currency coin? Usually. You have to remember that contracts were given out worldwide for currency, so any coin would show the engraver's/manufacturer's competence. Some were popular despite being rejected by the RM such as Moore's model pennies and halfpennies to the extent that they had to publicly disclaim them. Another box ticked! Thanks, Rob! Who owned the artistic image in the coin or note?the artist the engaver or the mint?
  10. That would be James I of England and Bust 6 of Scotland? Probably referring to James I's sixth bust on his English issues. A large, detailed bust - just what I look for. Im not into old coinage it is to far for me. Like the history,time to time found new things. More to dig more things found,the more or longer process,its like endless. Bust 6 seen in the web have One lion,three lion,harp,iris. No tower or eagle.
  11. I raise my hand,King James I.

    Numismatic Websites being targeted & hacked?

    Hus's hosting site told him a short while ago that they would stop hosting in 6 months, but then shut it down fairly promptly. That is why the account suspended page came up. It was based in Egypt apparently. According to an email he sent me a week or so ago, he is trying to get the forum contents onto another hosting site with all the data intact. That is why it disappeared. Ah I thought I had done something wrong. I also thought of that. Before they will block most account they do give warning to members didnt recieve any,so I did search in the web for any other reason. Coinsgb is down also Euroswapper is downsizing I think? Maybe next time I will edit and print other good thread in other forum just in case,the library is still standing but other forum is having difficulties, hope other will still last,just a comment.

    I would value members' grading opinions

    Two things occur to me: Is there a resource anyone knows of where you can see high res photos of various grades to compare your prize possessions against? If for example the dies on small coins like this didn't produce anything better than my example then there wouldn't be anything better out there I guess (rim knocks and bag marks aside!) When selling I like to be completely open and honest, the last thing I want is a disgruntled buyer ... but would it really make sense to supply very high res photos that magnify tiny imperfections that would not otherwise be detected? After all, as some have observed, you wouldn't expect to examine 400mm pictures of a crown (or would you?), and if you did all sorts of things might show up! Just a comment. Grading companies US and GB may have photo preservation of graded coins and there pop report??? Pictures from members here who sold coins or dealers and members and their coin collection.

    I would value members' grading opinions

    It all depends how you grade. Some people downgrade weak strikes, but I would find that confusing - better IMO to mention the weakness in the grade, e.g. UNC weak strike on shield Unless of course all (or virtually all) the coins of a particular denomination struck in a particular year are weak (1920 pennies spring to mind). Agreed, to both. Weak strikes will command lower prices, just as early strikes attract a premium. Unless ALL or MOST such coins are weak (in addition to 1920 pennies, there are the reverses of 1907 pennies, the obverses of 1919H pennies, the reverses of 1917 sixpences, the reverses of 1895YH farthings, etc etc). Just a comment Expert in grading. Predecimal Grading and co. Settling others opinion???
