Any garden pics this year?
secret santa replied to copper123's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
My 3 tiered cordyline also bit the dust. I've cut the trunks down to ground level and with luck they will regrow - it did once before when the same happened. -
That makes sense now. Thanks for the pics.

Have you posted any photos of this ?

My rarest coin is a 1922 penny obverse 4+ reverse C - unrecorded and the only specimen I've ever seen come to market. I have a photo of what appears to be a BU specimen of the same die pairing but I can't find any confirmation of its existence.

I'm not sure it's there.

Campanula ? (blue, bell-shaped flowers) -
I think I remember Michael Gouby told me a few years ago that DNW had asked him to go through a collection of pennies to help them identify the varieties but, as they didn't offer him anything for his trouble, he declined.

Not a trace !

You can always get replacement drawers with the appropriate size of recess - I did that a few years ago with a second hand cabinet that I bought.

Ah, Heavy Eyes Lost Me My Coin at Noonan's Today
secret santa replied to VickySilver's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I sympathise, Eric. Many's the time I've just done a "5 minute job" before my lot came up only to get engrossed and completely forget about until it's too late. The scars never heal ! -

I have noticed that the normal obverse 1 has 157 border teeth and the Hollow Neck variety has 163 teeth. -

I've just been looking at these 1911 reverses and it seems to me at first glance that the best way of distinguishing between them is by the position of the middle date numeral 1. It is either (virtually) over a bead or a gap. Or am I barking up the wrong tree ? -

Ignore my previous post - I wasn't aware of Gouby's new types. I'll do some work on those and update my website. -

Bad news - reverse A 151 teeth, although A of HALF points to a tooth. More work required - watch this space. -
Hang on a while - it may be worth a fortune.

I remember that well - "Lay down girl, let me push it up, push it up". Subtle it wasn't. -

I think the original was "What's the difference between a magician's wand and a policemen's truncheon ? Answer - one's used for cunning stunts and the other..........." -

"Cupid Stunt" - the most risque spoonerism on TV. -
I messaged him and said that it was "naughty" as such copies sell for a few pounds - must have tweaked his conscience.

Coin prices continue to rise
secret santa replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I attended that Gregory sale and examined all the pennies. I put a tick and the word "nice" in the catalogue next to that 1859 proof (lot 416) meaning that I'd bid for it which suggests that I thought it was genuine but also put an exclamation mark against the hammer price (£1100) which meant that I was very surprised at the price. All of which tells you (and me) nothing ! As you say, too much of a gamble to bid remotely. -

Halfpenny ID check

I last emailed Iain Draycott about 3 years ago when I was putting together my halfpenny site. I have his email address from then if anyone would like it.
