  1. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/QUEEN-VICTORIA-1862-BRITISH-LOVE-HALF-PENNY-COIN-/301071336264?hash=item4619400348 Is this a good way to mark a coin with its grade, do you think? It would certainly stop people resubmitting to TPGs looking for an extra point or two...
  2. What's the history then VS? That sounds intriguing.
  3. A friend of mine used to live downstairs from Ian Gillan's auntie. The said Gillan came down once to tell him to turn the music down...
  4. Known as the Wisteria sisters I understand, on account of their aggressive climbing.
  5. And so it is, John! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
  6. oh dear, sorry, me and my "keys are always in the ignition" obliviousness again. Amazing I've lived this long really.
  7. Family Tree Maker, for software. I haven't used it in a few years, but it was darned good back then....
  8. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that there's no safer pension than coins, Peter! I know I'm completely reliant on it...
  9. Maybe not even that. Sheldon 35-40 I've got down as F+. Looks like your grading of it was spot on, Peter!
  10. Christoph will know all about them (ChKy)
  11. Don't do it, Dave. It' be a poorer place without you...
  12. Vines & Rees saw me safely through to an E in my Biology 'A' level !
  13. Just to clarify, the digit is punched on the die individually, not on the coin!
  14. Whole coin:
  15. All sorts of interesting things going on with this 1854 Groat: we know about the small date and the large date, but I haven't seen one over the other before and... N over I think a P in REGINA It's also Davies 1232 - with an extra stop under the colon after NIAR, and an unlisted one around the D of F:D: Seems to be a bit of a neglected series when you consider the amount of time we all spend peering at pennies.
  16. Nice score, Bob! That looks remarkably like the one that John Jerrams was selling...tell-tale scratchette on the cheek.
  17. Here's a good one I got this afternoon...don't click the link - it doesn't go to eBay ! I want to let you know that i have completed the payment of € 266 last Friday by PayPal and i didn`t received the product and also you didn`t sent me any email. Is something wrong ? Don`t make me start a drama. Item number : 320637204642 Item URL : http;//cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320637204642 Thank You
  18. Good tip, Peck - I'll try that! I suspect I'm still set to overexpose by half a stop - that was the setting I came up with, with much ecperimentation, a few years ago. Of course, that was in the gloom of a bus under a railway viaduct! Times have changed....
  19. Tell you what, brg, your photography is superb. I always lose colour with copper...
  20. This one got my heart racing for a minute but I don't think it is after much examination - any thoughts anyone? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GREAT-BRITAIN-UK-Victoria-1863-bronze-Penny-attractive-brown-XF-/190787369116?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item2c6bd0389c
  21. Nice one Bob. How does that compare to yours, MackSilky?
  22. The whole things a bit of a farce really. Even if we don't mention the current German imposters, the Normans only took the throne because they were better at fighting.
  23. Michael Gouby has one at AU60/65 for £45. Just sayin'...
