Hmmmm..trying to remember- yes- there is the 1880 with missing waves on the right, another 1880 with a fragment of the '0' above the top of the '0', an 1861 with a loop of a small '8' under the '8' I think you've seen them before over the past 4 years....

Don't get me started, Mike- even though your talent for doing so is impressive!!!! You are so so right. Madness. Same same same in my world of vintage Pro Audio. Does anyone get pleasure from such coins? All the sane people on this forum know what I mean- such coins don't HAVE to be graded highly by someone else for a fee... I have an acquaintance who collects expensive whisky. He has a mouth-watering collection. He has no idea what any of them taste like. Nuff said.

Oh please...someone ask them if they can buy all the actual coins in the picture and see what they say....pleeese!

OMG they are using the same picture again!!!!!!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234889351176?hash=item36b07f1008:g:gKIAAOSwAJpklhVx&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4FlH%2FfXPiXSsJPre7l4FkwuzQ%2FFY%2FXHxwomdwyGhYYo%2B0IrGq%2F2%2FNJH5ztcr%2Fzi2pXplG3cjx%2FXguuOcL6AfzurEwiGofyO5AC1gJi87HUywe32bRGsMxGk7xgZMNj21v7BnU8DRoNpCWisNzkc8%2F97eWnUDD0VTnk3owH7kPYaIj0OBq6rmBXZAc1B%2FDNdMrl7mWIG5EB5vQVxweqbXHnmwCW4Yg8uTJiBp95eUBmHGAvGg%2F%2FJln5ZmgePDb4GEarXl62LeZJCDWAVeo0%2F5pPMPkYxCEf0pw1ACqMgQd3qo%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR7j4m9G1Yg

Remember this penny?? The one that Cowell coins pictured on their listing, but didn't send me? Well, check this out!!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334927997148?hash=item4dfb43a8dc:g:8qkAAOSw0olknXO5&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwA%2BbcRNetiK29HGvHSs30gsTbAJ1s5m8yLCUB7SK7Dy9MYibTiNMnvUjEe%2BiPDwq65keMqw%2FztGut%2FdOU1EqlxTsvF2lo7yxxmIVCmwTy9pnEkzu%2BOg%2FL3khzhwGk72los77%2FOHbI9pciEuSGWCsJetPym8fe%2B0QLYuT3%2FilLu42WsLhI%2F1MPerYaTfDxHZDroJQItIDyfdiKK7PF4pClt6BLYCNW%2FIyxbUe7oB44o1wwzG80WN2sCVFAOUBHmLVig%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6z4m9G1Yg Compare with the one I thought I'd bought.....

Without the 'Check Your Change' booklet, and the 'I-Spy Book of Cars', my childhood would have been very bleak indeed.

I forgot about this thread! Here are some pics of a bash I lit last month, obviously 'boosted' by exposure length:

Why don't people of his calibre go into politics?

Ah. just realised...this is is referring to the Parthians, who used the Palintonos, or 'bent backwards' composite bow, that can be used when retreating, hence 'Parthian shot", corrupted down to "Parting shot"...

Go canal boating. 2 mph and swans coming on board to feast on wet bread, their rough mouths wearing away the skin on the top of your thumb....wonderful.

Oh yeah- I just didn't recognise the abbreviation...

What is a ' .webp' file? It tries to download something, but nothing...

Ooh...hadn't thought of that. What's 'D&P'? Here are a couple of pics that show the adjustments- focus, iris, and two that are pre-set in slots. There is a photocell by the opening at the bottom as well....

Does anyone recognise these two bits of optics?

1666, apparently. No trains to throw about though....??

https://www.stratusdeck.co.uk/tornado-scales Britain's strongest is a T8-9, so around 240 mph, so around F4. The T scale is way more scientifically based than the F scale. I'm in Figueres, NE Spain, on a job, and the locals have been complaining about the heat....

https://www.netweather.tv/weather-forecasts/uk/convective This is always worth a read- often very complicated!! British weather, eh? I was a member of TORRO yeas ago. No-one would believe me when I said that only the US has more tornados than us....

How would be unique? Would the mistake have been spotted and the metal removed in the time it took to to mint one coin?

Yeah...sorry 'bout that.... My wine merchant was hassling me for my overdue account, the boat engines both need an overhaul, and I need to build a new submarine. Too soon?

So have I, and I don't collect copper! Fascinating meticulous research.

I am very pleased to point out that my reaction to this post has made Alfnail's points total equal the number of listings.- 692/692. A full reaction point for every posting is a hell of an achievement, and just shows the quality of his postings.

Years and years ago, I saw a listing finish with the winning bidder having bid over a million for a piece of hopeful crap like this. The winning bidder teamed up with a mate to bid the item up. Both had zero feedback. The winner's ebay name was 'making_a_mockery' and I'm still laughing. Genius.

I do note that your note struck an odd note.

That makes my Mother-in-Law a Type 2 then....

it rather looks like the type of 'E' used is used for ONE and PENNY.....
