  1. My latest unofficial farthing, holed but pleased to have it (w7010)
  2. The 'lol' acronym can also mean 'lots of love'...….just to confuse the situation lol
  3. You'd of thought they'd of put it in aligned to the two pence after going to the trouble!
  4. I really like the design on this one and its a nice example, near unc on the reverse the obverse about ef
  5. My latest group of unofficial farthings collected over the past 6 weeks
  6. The only one I can recall at present is 'Isle of Man paper money' co written with someone but not sure who
  7. Yes it's Alan Kelly and the shop is Mannin Collections Ltd A quick google search shows it's closed now
  8. A rare die number perhaps? I can't quite make out what it is though
  9. Are these any of any use to you Larry? if so pm me
  10. A little more info for you from 'The building Medalets of Kempson and Skidmore' by R. C. Bell page 36/7 ''D&H War.297'' (then gives a description of the token followed by) ''The building was originally a hospital founded at the beginning of the reign of Henry II. At the dissolution of the monasteries John Hales purchased the chapel and converted it into a free school.'' Unfortunately it gives no information on edge varieties
  11. The two listed in the 1990 edition are 297 with edge reading Coventry and 297a which is plain. There is no mention of any 'Coventry token' edge for 297 in the corrigenda section of the book
  12. We use a similar 3D visual for our dementia training, while I'm sure it is nothing like what a person with dementia suffers it gives us a look, all be it very briefly, into how their world is. You have to remember though that everyone is unique and the dementia (or autism) affects the person in an equally unique way with no two suffers experiencing the same thing
  13. Professional? Me? Definitely not! Intelligent? The jury is still out...…..
  14. I was a litho printer for 15 years and have now been in dementia care for the last 10 years

  17. Excuse my ignorance but what is a 'high six?'
  18. https://www.cooperscoins.com/collections/crown/products/edward-vii-1903-silver-halfcrown-key-date-gf same coin but £15 cheaper on his website
  19. I've bought from his website and had no problems at all, was very pleased
  20. I'd hazard a guess they was pennies and two pennies and it has something to do with them being copper clad steel as to why only those coins was affected but how I have no idea
  21. If you cash in al your Italian lire Zoo you'll be able to afford two!!
  22. I have absolutely no idea!
  23. It took me along time to settle on collecting one theme until I stumbled across one of these in a second hand shop for a fiver, I now have around a hundred and fifty. It fascinates me all the different trades that are depicted on them from schools, engineers, post offices and port supplies. Some are common, some are really quite rare and it's always nice to get a local one
