    You're magically an enthusiast now. The expert grader old rank was always there. No idea why they need to have 2 now.

    Very good to hear. I couldn't find any reports of issues with TypeIt4Me in conjunction with the forum, but that another browser seems better is no surprise, browsers are so complicated these days.
  3. Chris Perkins
    New forum software feature. You have 6 badges, well done 🤭

    I think the 1843 groat is the highlight there. The other 3 are all nice coins, too. The 6d has a little wear, the 3d is very nice but has uneven toning. The third farthing looks like it might have some darker areas/surface issues.

    I found the setting and pasting should now default to plain text.
  6. Chris Perkins
    If I can find the setting among the hundreds of others, I'll try switching it to force plain text (instead of defaulting, I think, to rich text). It may have been plain text before. That could be the issue.

    Looks more like a lamination issue to me. I wonder if someone has tried to stick something in the gap out of curiosity, or might just be the pics. Those 3 halfpence are tiny.

    It comes out very jumbled doesn't it. What is the name of the abbreviation software?
  9. Chris Perkins
    Not bad. Coincidentally, those are IMO textbook examples of a normal circulated coin (around Fine) - the crown, a mid grade coin (around VF) - the florin, and a higher grade coin (around EF) - the shilling.

    The five on the left are some of the normal British WWII issue. The Italy one will be relevant later... The star at the top and the 2 on the right... I'm cheating a bit because I know your surname and how to use search engines. Gold one is the general Polish WWII medal and the cross is the Polish Monte Cassino medal. So what does the star on the blue/black indicate?
  11. Chris Perkins
    Sorted, I think! For some reason those who are in the group 'Moderators' were not allowed to upload/drag/attach images. Try it now.
  12. Chris Perkins
    Can you show me a screenshot or shots of exactly what it says and where it goes wrong? Obviously you can't post them here so would have to email. Unless attaching the long way round works.

    I think any coin person would have recognised it instantly and been able to find the exact type based on the details that can just about be made out. I'm pleased that I was better at it than millions of dollars of silicon valley AI power. I must admit though, I did use google lens to identify something the other day. 😉 I haven't been that active on the forum for quite a while, and do you know what, it's good to be back!

    Here we are, looks like this type, or a similar Paley's issue. D&H on that page is a reference to the major catalogue of such coins by Dalton and Hamer. In it, there are 10 slightly different varieties of basically the same design: Richard Paley's Bishop Blaize and Lamb Leeds Conder Halfpenny 1791
  15. Chris Perkins
    Might there be some kind of setting to improve that? (I mean in the settings of the forum)
  16. Chris Perkins
    It's some kind of 'Conder' regional token, almost certainly a halfpenny. Date appears to be 1791. That's probably a sheep fleece in the coat of arms and it's probably a bishop on the other side - someone will know what town that makes it! Unless you can read anything off it.

    Both of you are now Enthusiasts, which I know is also below your standing. The default ranks are a bit odd, they go: Newbie, Rookie, Apprentice, Explorer, Contributor, Enthusiast, Collaborator, Community Regular, Rising Star, Proficient, Experienced, Mentor, Veteran, Grand Master. I can change the names and points required, add more etc.

    Hello. Certainly a nice looking coin cabinet. I hope the content is equally high-end! The greenness is caused by PVC, which was a common constituent of plastic coin albums from the 60s to 80s (and sometimes beyond). You may be lucky and be able to remove the mess with acetone, which won't harm the coins.
  19. Chris Perkins
    What kind of device/browser are you using? It is the same if you try something else?
  20. Chris Perkins
    Everyone has defaulted to newbie I'm afraid. I can bump anyone up (have done for you) if they don't fancy waiting to accrue points again.
  21. Chris Perkins
    There's also a 'MID' leaf on the miniatures, but not on the full size. But if that's how they got to you, assuming your grandfather is no longer with us, then probably best left as they are.
  22. Chris Perkins
    Excellent! Took me a while to ID that last one on the right. Dutch Orange-Nassau, fabulous. The ribbon looks very similar to the standard WWI British War Medal.
  23. Chris Perkins
    Paddy and others, try dragging an image into a post. Should work now. Here's one such image: (That's a still from a Blue Peter episode where they used 2 of my coin images in a Penny Farthing Bicycle feature - earned me a Blue Peter badge!)
  24. Chris Perkins
    Not at all, thank you and so many others. Still not there yet with the dragging image into post error issue, but I'm making slow progress - I think. It also affects the customisation of pages and keeps booting me out behind the scenes, very annoying.

    Can I discern HADRIANUS for Hadrian on the one of the right? Looks like him if my memory is correct. The one on the left, Maybe Trajan?
