    I nearly started this one a while ago but decided I was seeing things. Anyway, without further ado ... Am I still seeing things please, and if so, what? ( I know what I think I see). A 1908 Penny Obverse for your pleasure.

    Other than THANKS FOR BUYING, SUCKERS!!!!

    Anyone else have any input on the "cleaned" status of the above 3d please - I'm very interested to understand. Cheers!

    As I'm the village idiot around here, could one of the wisened gentlefolk please let me know how you (or aforementioned grading company) came to the conclusion that this coin is "cleaned" please? I just don't see "it". Cheers!

    I don't see April yet. (download version)

    lol addict
  8. Unwilling Numismatist
    Not yet, although my perch on the fence is becoming increasingly less comfortable
  9. Unwilling Numismatist
    I'm starting to think I should take you up on that offer of bucket-diving.
  10. Unwilling Numismatist
    Is there a list anywhere ? It might give me something to look at instead of hunting down vicky varieties.
  11. Unwilling Numismatist
    I probably would if I could recognise them
  12. Unwilling Numismatist
    Be gentle with the 1898, it'd be a shame to hurt that one.

    March is traditionally Yearly Bonus month... perhaps people are pre-emptively spending. I know my hope-to-get bonus is long since gone and it hasn't arrived yet lol!

    I guess I have terrible taste in coins then, but I also agree with @Paddy - slabbing isn't something I'd do (without a very specific need for it)
  15. Unwilling Numismatist
    Pfffft. Ruin a good story with Facts?
  16. Unwilling Numismatist
    I love the toning on the 1898, and I'm not posh about digs too much so if it ever needs a new home... The 1877 seems like a "normal" example - I imagine it could look nicer with less harsh lighting (or in the hand). The George.. what do I know about George?
  17. Unwilling Numismatist
    Well, thats gonna make things entirely a lot more complicated.
  18. Unwilling Numismatist
    You can definitely tell when someone has been indoors for too long ....

    Thanks guys, I'll pay more attention to post Vicky soon I promise (And I might have to revisit my pile of GV's soon just to check if ensure my run of being unlucky persists!)
  20. Unwilling Numismatist
    I'll plead complete ignorance, but (and this is seriously because i have no idea) why?
  21. Unwilling Numismatist
    20 posts I think .. you're so nearly there
  22. Unwilling Numismatist
    Couldn't escape - it was my daughters invitation day to the Uni there.
  23. Unwilling Numismatist
    bah. Have to be in Reading this weekend. Doh!
  24. Unwilling Numismatist
    Thanks Zoo. Unfortunatey I fell somewhat better about my 20 quid HC now. From your pic it looks better than the obverse at least @Ukstu thats not a bad shortcross, it's done a few miles to get there and back
  25. Unwilling Numismatist
    I think they must dispose of the decent stuff somewhere else, pretty much all the coins they have at the mo are mingers or slingers.
