    Alpine lake, altitude 8000ft, Sierra Nevada, when Yosemite was burning. No photoshop or anything. It just looked like this and I screeched to a halt and clicked.

    "I hope it didn't damage your colon." Good line. The 1890 is an odd one- the date has so much more of a 'change' to it from normal than many varieties of other dates, yet it's hardly commented on. The London Coins examples make me want to look for more of them though.....

    I restore lots of old studio gear with lots of different plastic meter fronts etc. - I find toothpaste is just too 'hard' - brasso works well, but try T-cut first since it isn't designed to hammer the paint surface....

    Doesn't this guy have a 'history' on this forum? He seems to be attracting those who get excited and click 'buy it now' without reading the 'disclaimer' at the bottom.....https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bare-Head-of-King-George-V-Britannia-Fourth-Design-Penny-1926-Coin/163675196264?hash=item261bcd4b68:g:KIkAAOSwJxtczCU4

    Let them cry!!!!!! I'll save all my Earth-shattering insights and life-changing observations for this Forum. ( It will actually be a half-baked pile of badly thought through tosh masquerading as intellectual mumbo jumbo. It's a new system. ) ( Rather loosely based on the old system, if I'm perfectly honest)

    Yes, it's not clear, but the German being A to Z would, I thought, have been the smoking gun for someone.... I'll think up another one.......

    Rightyho..... "if you wrote down the numbers 1 to 999 in alphabetical order, which numbers are first and last on the list?" Mr.T was soooo close.

    Again? You do lots of quizzes then Pete?
  9. blakeyboy
    Everyone given up?

    Tell you what Pete, I'll give you $170 for it- problem solved.....;)

    That's a bit of a surprise.....didn't know there was that sort of tracking of a coins 'passport'.... Mind you, that price was a surprise too- nice one!

    Just did- omg how inept. Politics is now the domain of all the weirdos from school......

    My late father in law, a pilot, used to play this to my wife when she was a girl. Still a masterclass in deadpan public speaking..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KbUNzi58wM

    Oh wow ...... you are closer than you can imagine- and yes, the German version is a dead giveaway......

    I hit a full stop whilst speed reading once- very nasty.....

    I'm sure I have that very wide date on a worn example - noticed it years ago in a pile of 1890's. Not sure if a good one commands a premium..

    Ohh...maybe I understand that you don't understand, but now I know you do. You not a Penny Freak then Rob? I had to fix my vacuum cleaner because it sucked because it didn't. Fixed it and now it doesn't suck because it does.

    Sorry, I don't understand.... i hadn't got a reasonable one like this, and it took some finding. Are they really common amongst members?
  19. blakeyboy
    What?
  20. blakeyboy
    Anyone got a good 1890 dropped 90?
  21. blakeyboy
    No cigar Dave.
  22. blakeyboy
    Haha! Nice one, but it's a wee bit more specific!
  23. blakeyboy
    Could I do that to some of the yobs where I live?
  24. blakeyboy
    Fantastic fairy story. I always get silver wrapped in pewter when I go magnet fishing too. Looks perhaps like a livery button to me.....

    Yes, you spotted the clue, but no, no big knowledge needed, and the question can be gleaned from any of the three answers....
