A new Farthing for my collection this week

Already paid for them, so that make them my precious

Thanks Peter. Sometimes you get to know a seller's pics, sometimes their coins are consistently better in hand than their pics suggest His pics above, mine below

Presumably a bit of everything. Personal experience is that there will always be some people that inter-marry, which usually works ok when religion is dispensed with. I also know of the opposite, where religion has thrown a real long-term spanner in the works following a death in the family. The demographics will become more skewed as things stand and it is difficult to argue otherwise. I'm not optimistic that it will be for the better. However good your immediate circumstances are, public opinion will be driven by the headlines. It would still be better if we were out of Europe with selective immigration, taking the skills we need.

Curiouser and curiouser. Neil thinks I placed a bid for the 1919KN at £66, and emailed me the information from his server or whatever it is. There were some problems on the site on 17th when bids weren't being recognised, so it might have happened then but every bid I initially placed was for the low estimate, just to give myself the opportunity to rebid. £66 is not an amount I would have bid. Strange, but I need an upgrade so have taken it.

I won 187... thought there was one

I'm half tempted to pay for the 1919KN, working on the same principle.

Oof! Don't let the other half see the invoice

Your nuts Ian. Not been feeling on top of the world but some of these quotes

Yes quite common at this time, most likely grease in the dies

The Soho Mint and the Industrialisation of Money is a good local read

Maybe a slight exaggeration. I should have said a bidding amble

Yes, I figured we were going for the same one.

I think that would sort my Christmases out for the next 30 years. Nice haul.
