I don't see how fox hunting has anything to do with race (which is basically what 'multi-cultural' is the PC term for). The hunters are white, so are the protesters. The hunters might well be toffs and the protesters are more likely to be working class, but those are not cultural differences on a par with banning Christian symbols. I have no opinion at all on fox hunting, I like the traditional looking part of it but it does seem cruel to the foxes....Then what do I know, i'm not a country person.

No doubt some of the young forum members here deserve a good slap sometimes!

Good teachers are all that's needed, although I'm sure the cane would be a damn good threating device! I was hit at primary school once by Mr O'Brien, a brand new teacher on his first day. He slapped me very hard accross the back of my head because I was hitting paper balls at Kevin with my desk lid (who was returning most of them, we called the game simply 'desk tennis'). I happened to be the closest to new Mr O'Brien when he came into the room. I think that would have been about '88/'89 before the ban on corporal punishment in school, which I think was made in about 1990.

Thankyou Syl, I'm pleased you got there before he did, saved me a groan or 2! Von Muenzen, Sprechen Sie Deutsche?

Metalwork. The Irony...

Do you have one of my books too Emex?

I can't have every Tom, Dick and Guest posting pictures and using bandwith all over the place!

Make it your own work Oli, not Spinks! It has to be more accurate, so just refer to Spink for the odd info snippet.

Well what a wonderful introduction (you'll go a long way!). It is indeed an 18th Century regional token (otherwise known as a Conder). If it's in average condition it's unlikely to be worth very much. I'm afraid I can't really help with the rarity level. Most of them are common and it should state around the edge in small lettering where it was payable/issued.

I must admit to being a bit of a Southerncentric, in that I have not yet bothered to travel outside of London to a coin fair Nothing against the Northen collectors (in fact most of this forum are Northerers I think, and probably more than 50% of my customers too, going by the addresses I send things too). I suppose I'm turned off my the extra fees for accomodation and the looong drive. Perhaps you could sing the praises.

Geordie, I have your email address for your order recently. Shall I reset your password and then tell you what it is? That way you should be able to log on anywhere (if you can remember them!)

I'll probably be stuck indoors in January. I cannot commit to much during Jan-March as the weather gets severe here and I cannot guarantee leaving the street, let alone get to an airport. We already have a good 3 inch snow covering here in the Erzgebirge region (where I am). It's about that time when the TR7 has to be put into hibernation.

Not at all. Anyone that hasn't found your website already is far too stupid to be a customer of mine.

And feel free to pinch the pictures of the Book from predecimal.com

I can't remember how many posts you have to make, I think it's only 10. Of course, it means Newbie in here, not in coins.

Great. The more you sell, the more I'll like you, it's as simple as that!

And you Andy, and welcome in here.

Well I never, another blatant advertisement in MY forum! I don't stock Spinks, so please do feel free to get one from Andy, I can vouch for his honesty.

I would have thought the forum software might have a problem if you wanted both computers to keep you logged on (because each would have a different IP address). There should be no problem for you to log on on the laptop using your user name and password. Are you sure you know what your password is? You should be able to get the laptop to 'remember' it, if it's set up that way. If all goes pear shaped I can give your user ID a new password and then email it to you. I am unable to read what your current password is.

I think he's confusing demonitisation with coins simply not being made in certain years. And from the young portrait, that's 1736 unless I'm very much mistaken. The '3' often looks like a '5'.

Yes, if you like. They should of course have a mention, but without detail if that what you want to do.

That isn't actually supposed to work, but these are the new titles coming soon: British and Empire campaign medals of the 20th Century Collectors Roman Coins part 2 (silver) New Version of Roman Coins Part 1 (I'm more than half way through) A so far un titled colaboration between Syl and myself on early milled And who knows what else, there are so many ideas that have been put to me.

I'd thought about it, but not persued it because I don't really like them

Yes, I got that message too! It's pushing things a bit isn't it. It isn't set in stone the the UK will all of a sudden adopt the US system. That message is aimed at people who have too much money than they know what to do with and no knowlwdge in coins, and I hate to say it, but It'll probably be very successful!

I've spoken to Juan (Unknown) over the Hispanophone many times you know Geoff!
