Thanks Dave. Not my thing but i know some people collect them if they are geniune.

Probably not a worst offering. Not sure if they are geniune but figured if they are somebody may want them. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/x2-Decimal-Errors-1971-2p-with-Planchette-Cut-1975-Half-Thickness-2p-A371/142571141070

Great share ! Thanks for posting it , i am not on Facebook so never seen these before.

Welcome toddmeister. You came to the right place, great bunch of folk on here with different collecting areas. Between the lot of us i am sure we can advise or assist you in your new hobby.

Crikey. Not leaving much out are they. Almost every area of collecting has effectively been covered/ replicated. Glad I've got an eye for pewter spotting!

It is yeah. Gets very busy in the summer. I've had my drone up there a few times. Get some great panoramic shots. Strange place it's got an aura that just draws you to it. Feel blessed to have it on my doorstep.

I've once had to turn back off there and head down due to 70 mph+ winds that were only a light breeze by the pub carpark. I was literally taking 2 steps forward and being blown back 3. It was difficult just to stay upright. Very bizarre but it shows how different the weather can be within the space of a mile or so.

I think its people going up who've never been up there mainly and in poor conditions. I usually set off from the Well spring's pub and go that way up takes me just over an hour to hit summit. I've got slightly disoriented in fog but always kept to the trails so had no problems getting up there or back. This was the incident i was referring to recently. https://www.burnleyexpress.net/news/lost-couple-rescued-from-pendle-hill-1-8905552

It's surprising how much different the weather can be when your at the bottom of a valley as opposed to the top. I've not climbed skiddaw. I once set off on a walk in August from Rivington heading up to Winterhill. I had shorts on and a tee shirt but had packed cold weather gear. The walk through the gardens up to the pike was oppressive the heat was similar to as you described. I must of consumed a litre of water before i reached the tower. Anyway within 5 mins of leaving the tower and heading out on to the moors towards the summit and masts the temperature plummeted to about 5 degrees and a cold wet fog descended on me , i then began to shiver so quickly threw my cold gear on. It was then that i realised why it was called Winterhill. I've experienced those conditions climbing peaks in the lakes but didn't realise these hills were similar. But most people do not realise that when venturing up there. They see the beautiful pictures people take on clear days from the summits and assume its just like a pleasant stroll in the countryside so venture out ill prepared and under equipped for a changing environment.

We get that often near me. People venturing up on to Pendle hill in just hoodies and trainers. MRT and helicopters are always passing by. Had a young couple brought off there about a week ago in a white out just before 10pm. No lights or compass or map, never even been up there before. Reckless and foolish.

That one needs posting up on CCF.

Bad luck mate. It stings a little when that happens. Hope you find another suitable candidate in the near future.

Oh my. Why ? My minds struggling to process that. Who'd bid on that lol. Got to be a shill bid surely but why lol does he think anybody else is going to go one higher ffs. Fabulous condition too ?

Ancientr. Whats the R stand for. Replica, reproduction or just plain rubbish.

I steer well clear of them. Anything bright and shiny with that similar lettering is a no go for me. Some of them look like they were made with a soldering iron.

I had similar issues. It would only send in dollars. It converted my payment to dollars at current conversion rates for some reason. Very odd. Anybody know if this will be an issue? Thx.

No. I knew what the coin was when i bought it. I'd of bought it without the COA regardless. Strangely it was correctly identified online but not on the COA. They add very little value to a purchase really as its not like its a COA from somebody at the British museum. Suppose they are intended to give people peace of mind but if any joe bloggs can write one and print it off they are in theory not worth the paper they are printed on.

I bought a coin a few weeks ago that came with a COA. The coin was a class 7b1 coin. The COA said it was 7c. It went in the bin ?. Just a laminated print off lol.

It will be down to £15 come march or april. Hang fire if anybody is planning on getting it.

I usually update mine once every 3 years. Still some running left in my 2016 edition yet i think ?

Very nice penny. Good find. ?

Ugly looking thing as well. Reported! ?

Lovely bit of gold that Gaz. You've got the midas touch. Well found!

Now your asking complicated questions lol. Because its crap , less than 12 months old and i bought it off Alibongo. ?
