    I paid more for some. Like any coin, it's always nicer to have a really good one rather than a crappy one for face value. I only have archery left to get rid of as currency. I have an Athletics BU in mint pack to go too though.

    I wouldn't expect much of an answer, mine was a fair question but it didn't go well.

    She doesn't look too bad considering her ordeal
  5. Unwilling Numismatist
    I guess that answered the missing coins question then

    I'm not the only one who had a wry smile about the 666 then

    A pipe is a hollow bar, and a very short piece of bar is a flat disc, and a disc between some dies makes a coin.... Where do you want to go with this ?

    Thanks Blakey, I bought Paulus's Florin. I'm in the market for other shiny things now though while I hunt down some of the variants and rarer examples from 1887. (and save up for the gold!)

    1935 Crowns now.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1935-British-George-6-World-Crown-Knight-Commemorative-Silver-Coins-Nice/152906116841?hash=item2399ea2ee9:g:ZpcAAOSws6ZZ5sm4

    Wickes of course, where I get my best washers
  12. Unwilling Numismatist
    OK I can take a hint, I'll only buy my pennies from @PWA 1967 or if they actually have *some* detail on them
  13. Unwilling Numismatist
    Oh... macbook / apple. Eww. TextClipping also copies all sorts of formatting info I believe, so I'm still with the image/screenshot solution.
  14. Unwilling Numismatist
    For clairty, I mean the one on ebay. The pcgs one, well .. I dream of those one day. Maybe.

    And a side bet on which one will have a very limited mintage.... I'll go for L, no-one can find that bugger

    They seem to have got it all wrong, the bottom half of the bust is wrong for the head. Looks like an 1885 Lower bust with an 1847 head combo.
  17. Unwilling Numismatist
    And in this weeks issue of WTF, you call THAT a Penny... we have this lovely example of an 1877. So quick, before they put me back in the nice white jacket that does up at the back.... Is it a reverse H (sea and thn lighthouse, thats my best shot).
  18. Unwilling Numismatist
    I'd hate to leave the question hanging
  19. Unwilling Numismatist
    I guess thats possible, but after my trip to the mint, where they said they get through something like a thousand dies in a year for certain coins, I'd be suprised if it's that rather than an error with setting up the machine for a new run.
  20. Unwilling Numismatist
    I didn't think Decimal would show so many differences given the manufacturing process advancements since like 1860! I'll check mine tomorrow, but I don't keep any more than 1 set of anything these days and don't have them all. (Every little helps though right?)
  21. Unwilling Numismatist
    Screenshot it and save to an image file from paint or windows 8 or 10 use snipping tool and save the image, then upoad the image
  22. Unwilling Numismatist
    Indeed, and when the time calls for it, action is forthcoming accordingly
  23. Unwilling Numismatist
    @Paddy Thanks for the offer, it's much appreciated, however I really do need to develop enough self control I'm just being impatient, but the longer I wait, the better I can buy in the end! Cheers Kev
  24. Unwilling Numismatist
    I guess I'm just being impatient, been trying for a (reasonably) decent 1887 set for ages and it seems I could have done any other year several times over!
  25. Unwilling Numismatist
    Odd how you read something and didn't know anything about it and then see something that triggers the memory... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/US-STATE-QUARTERS-x3-ARKANSAS-MASSACHUSETTS-PENNSYLVANIA-BICENTENNIAL-x1/132490380415?hash=item1ed90ac47f:g:dnQAAOSw9Z1acwUl US State quarters. This is just to prove that my retention of stuff is working.
