Thank you.

Please make sure the titles contain information about what it wanted as it saves browsing time. You will also need to have a minimum of 30 posts in order to be able to create or reply to a thread in this section.

I'll read it through again.

I think you also seem to be getting the wrong Impression of why i exploded scottishmoney. I will explain, but before i do, i also noticed you've deleted my comment on this thread from last night. This Explosion was nothing to do what so ever with this thread and American TPGs, it was to do with FACT that the American poster has been Digging HIS CLAWS into me for the past 2 weeks which you can see from several threads such as "toned coins" thread and another. Now when you start deleting my comments and not looking at the cause then i think its getting a little one sided don't you? As is Aid in my deleted comment, i'll make my apologies to the forum for my outburst but not to the poster who Sees fit to continually goad me about my opinion (which is a perfectly good opinion) although according to him, my opinion does'nt really count as you can see from the beginning of this topic I deleted another of your posts yesterday evening too, azda! I've also tidied up some language. I know you get very passionate about coin related things, and I know that you're harmless and entitled to your opinion, but your language and the fact you were getting personal towards the American gentleman was not acceptable. You will tend to find in life that your opinion counts for less when you start being confrontational and using naughty words in posts littered with awful typos. Bloody behave. Ski, I know your post about your Indian uncle and French brother in law was tongue-in-cheek, casting you in a non-rascist man of the world kind of light. However, it had too many thinly disguised naughty words in it, so that too has been removed. Lets just forget about it all and be friends please.

Had a very late 51 plate MGF a while ago. Head gasket went. And, with the wrong make tyres on them they are a nightmare in the handling department. Apart from that, perfectly good cars.

I buy silver coins like that. Can send someone round if you're in the SE of England. Or possibly further.

I will.

Who knows. Sold in the city of Kortrijk I suppose, as a decorative item just for fun. I'll try and find a Belgian forum for antiques and collectables. Probably one of the kinds of things that everyone in Belgium has in the loft!

The feel of it is older than mid 20th century, but it's certainly post industrial revolution I'd say. The piece of string and rings could be a later addition.

Not a coin, but it is numismatic in that it's seal related. I wondered if anyone had seen something similar or knew anything about this kind of thing? It's a brass dish 24cm (9.5in) in diameter. The centre appears to be an impression of a medieval Belgian seal that reads: S'PREPOSITORUM ET SCABINORUM CURTRACENSIUM The S' is, I think an abbreviation of SIGILLUM and from what I can tell the whole thing translates to something like: Reeve and Alderman seal (of) Kortrijk. A Reeve was an official responsible for an area, I suppose something similar to a mayor in this case. The Alderman was probably a lower rank than a Reeve back then. Curtracensium was a Latin name for the Belgian (at that time Flanders) city of Kortrijk. The 77mm seal in the middle of the dish is described in an 1873 book, referred to here: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=fikKAQAAIAAJ&q=prepositorum+et+scabinorum+curtracensium&dq=prepositorum+et+scabinorum+curtracensium&hl=en&sa=X&ei=C0MbUvmtFMjKtQafoYDoAQ&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAA Any idea as to why an impression of the seal was made into a brass dish (I imagine at a much later date)? Any idea of the age of the dish or any other information gratefully received.

That may be because you only get limited time (a few minutes) to edit posts. This was originally due to people posting things and then changing them when they realised they were spouting naughty things and were rightly getting flamed! What you say here, is permanent (after a few mins to check for typos).

Avoid the often over-priced modern ones and buy the older ones at around bullion value. Sometimes high grade 1880s to 1930s can be found for around the bullion value.

Unlikely. I think the newer ones just have a different style edge.

Printed (2008) version out of print. Download version can probably be arranged but I don't think it's offered anywhere. Would very much like to do a new edition, but it could be a way off.

I've made it so that it shows the exact amount of time that has passed since the last post. Hope it's ok like that.

If there's some kind of switch I can switch to turn it back on, I will. If not, then you probably have 3 'opes: No 'ope, Bob 'ope and Envelope.

Hmmm, copy the URL from the browser bar when you get this so-called 'cross scripting' problem. When I first come to the page it seems to point me at british-coins.com/forum instead of predecimal.com/forum but it soon seems to right itself. Does anyone else get a cross scripting error or ever see british-coins.com in the browser bar?

As far as I know you should still have admin privileges. I'm very new to the new look too and have hardly looked deeper into it yet. It seems to be working, that's the main thing. And I believe the image posting works again?

Doing it! Tried to fix it myself to no avail. I now have my new wonderful local (to where I used to be) webhost looking into it!

I think it's probably the old predecimal.com/british-coins.com confusion again! I don't know why as the latter shouldn't exist anywhere except as a redirect to predecimal.com. I've put in a request for Invision (the forum software people) to upgrade everything to the latest version. I'll also mention the problem with the missing old images and cross-site scripting. Should be upgraded in about a week. Users may notice temporary changes in appearance. Actual down time should be minimal.

Ok, must just be me then. Good to hear.

I buy a lot of pre 47 silver etc.

I've re-calibrated, re-counted, re-synched the whole forum and have removed the server stored cache files and theoretically it should be fine now! At least, there should certainly be no more disappearing threads, but as for the confusion in the browser bar between predecimal.com/forum and british-coins.com/forum I'm still personally experiencing problems with that. Anyone else having similar issues? This could cause people to become logged out.

Oh, it all helps at the moment, believe me! Just managed to get a tenant into the Gillingham house as of yesterday. It was only empty for 15 months.

I don't suppose one of you could do me a favour and test the functionality of the coins/stuff sales. Perhaps with paypal and also with a credit card just to make sure both work? You could use this as a test: http://www.predecimal.com/1965-scottish-shilling-p-775.html Very cheap, but of course I'll refund the money anyway! Let me know in here first, because I don't really need more than one test per payment method. Thanks.
