Atomic and bomb are 2 perfectly valid words on their own, I suppose I would allow 'atomic-bomb' as one word. Churchill Crown and Queen Lizzy II are most certainly not in the dictionary!!

I don't have that book, but it sounds much easier to follow that the attempt to classify the varieties in the 2004 Spink!

Actually it turned out to be a quite nice looking Greek (Roman imperial) silver coin.

Yeah, well done Master J.M.D, but try to use actual words in any new topics you start rather than stupid faces, it makes things much easier to browse through. 'shouldent it' be Shouldn't it? You can't even string 4 words together without mis spelling 25% of them! Pot, Kettle.

(thought we were supposed to being doing one word only)

Yes, I meant prince. DID own a large estate. You don't impress me in the slightest unless it's still in the family, and even if it was you'd still be an ordinary school boy Oli, with ideas above his station! Someone once traced my family tree back to a Frenchman (sorry) who came over with William of Normandy in 1066.

I have a coin from Lauenburg. I saw a real German price on TV recently, he worked on the Dodgems at a fairground.

No, you have to choose the actual jpg file.

Yes, all mintage figures should be taken with a pinch of salt, and should be used just as a rough idea.

Didn't work for me.

Thanks Penny Master, see you monday. Don't take that Oli too seriously, he's just a snob

With the 'File attachment' option at the bottom of the posting window when you post something. You have to browse for the picture on your local hard drive.

That didn't work. You can't link to your password protected webmail account! It'll only work for you, when you're logged in.

Well you came back and followed it up, so that proves you were not merely advertising. What that auction site needs to do, is somehow persuade lots of dealers to auction things on it continuously and at the same time spend lots of money on promotion to get the audience there. When ebay was just starting out, there was no ebay to compete with it. Now ebay already exists with it's massive audience and amount of lots it's practically impossible for any newcomers. Auction sites that start themselves now, need a lot of money or to be tied to an existing brand. If I were to start up an aution site I'd find a few thousand things to auction first and spend as much money as I could on promotion.

Or HMGM as on some Victorian medals. I'd heard about the alleged Hitler thing, and how fussy he was with the coins. I suppose those are all pretty good reasons to push him out and let it go to the Duke of York, you have to take being a King quite seriously I would have thought. It would have no doubt been very interesting if had been King though wouldn't it.

Triumph! (although Punks never had Motorbikes, you're getting your fringe groups confused dear boy!)

It's a magazine that blokes in pin stripe suits and Olli reads!

Full marks for the picture attempt! Can you now scan each side at 300dpi, I'd like to see the rims with more clarity. I'd give you £15 for it, if it really is a die slip error.

Well, you never know what goes on behind Whitehall doors. What were the more serious reasons that they wanted HRH King Edward VIII out of the way, i've never looked into it?

Ok, no pressure or anything. It's well worth it for £5.75 (to you) inc postage. Goes into a lot of detail with varieties, and you get all the other mintage figures too.

Punk (again!) ha

Plenty of ideas there for my Radio show! In between tracks I could even take some calls on coins Mind you, perhaps even Twisted Sister is still too far out for the average BBC 3 Counties listener!

Oh yeah, just noticed it says the King died in 1936 above! The palace would probably rather that had happened, and I bet they considered faking his death, like with Princess Di. (oooo Conspiracy )

The book I do, Collectors Coins GB 2004, has all that info in it.
