Yeah, I can tell the 1874's from across a room, and the rev on this one is a doddle. However- is the 'no signature' judged purely by the gap, and how come the ribbon appears central in the pic, and should be cut left? The pic below is exactly what I can see on fleabay...have you all got eyes like hawks, or do you judge using different clues?

I'm trying ( and partially failing) to get to grips with the differences between types of worn 1861 pennies. Can anyone tell me why this went for the price it did? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1861-Victoria-Penny/184191413965?hash=item2ae2a9eecd:g:hNkAAOSwLRpeWnyd

...and I suppose you've also notice June Whitfield in The Blood Donor......

Fantastic!! I'd forgotten how good Patricia Hayes was....

i think I mean the second one down being the common one....

Just listened to the whole thing in the workshop. Didn't get much work done

Oh wow that's great! Many years ago I went though a pile of 1901's, and found three or four of the wide ones. I've looked since then at every 1901 I ever see on line- I've never seen one. The second one down turns up- I have to really check to see if it's totally over the 1, and it hasn't been. The third one down amounts to 95% of them , in my estimation. The bottom one is also one I've been looking for- not seen one in any condition. I could be wrong on this- pointings in photographs are so influenced by lighting angles etc.

I remember Terry put up a montage of 1901 penny date widths, particularly pointing out the position of the last '1'. I think this is an extra wide version- '1' over the tooth completely?

Superb!!!

It'll be £25 a bottle by the end of the week...

I bought Norton Antivirus, because of what the bloke in the shop said, so I'm ok now.

Reply of the week.

Which Archers character will die from the coronavirus??? Do we care?

Today I got a 1911 hollow neck in F for £15. I'm really pleased.

I'm a mac user, so I've never needed this product, but I think it might be time to buy Norton Antivirus.

Borrow the DVD and find out.....:)

So they weren't in the same race then?

Bill Bruford IS worth paying for. Seen him loads of times. Brilliant. Genesis now, for silly money........no.

So, there were two horses, yeah, called 'Eleven' and 'Twenty-two'...am I getting this right?

I know!

I give up- what's the answer?

Oh the quality!!! 10/10 to all involved.....

I went into record shop today, and I asked the guy " Do you have anything by the Doors?" He said "Yes, a fire extinguisher and a bucket of sand."

I've seriously taken up boxing competition as part of my fitness regime. I had to go for a Medical as part of the insurance, and the doctor told me I'd got Sugar Diabetes, and I told him that in the form I was in, I'd win by a knock out.......
