hehe...maybe there's some connection between the policeman and HPJ Sponk --- and no, i have not got a copy, nor have i seen any for sale!

GVF (Good Very Fine)...hehe...FVG (Fine Very Good) i suppose that as we sometimes use (example) 'obverse is VF, reverse is NVF' (VF/NVF), the american system would be 'AU58/EF45' as you said

Thanks, do you know anywhere that i could get the notes for it?...i have googled with no success

Does anyone know the piano music used in the british airways advert when the man goes to bed in Japan (i think) and wakes up in London (i think)? ...i ask this because that is the peice that i want to base my GCSE music around

Surely the colonial mints though were part of the royal mint, no?

Oh i would. In about 5 or 10 years it wouldn't surprise me idf they didn't sell of the circulation coin minting royalties to another private company, either that or they'll shift production to China/India like everyone else seems to have done and make a better profit. Or, knowing our luck, we go to the Euro (€) and our RM will be doing all Euro countries currency...we (us brits) used to make the coins for all of our colonies once didn't we?

My opinion... History should not be sealed away...a historical object is supposed to be historically preserved in its own way. A building can be hundreds of years old, people put supports into them to stop them from falling down or braking (which is okay as it helps to keep the history standing). To me, putting a coin into a capsual is like braking a coin, it stops the coin from being touched, used, damaged. History is not supposed to be protected from every little calamity in life.

if you do not have any sort of cleaning polish you can use coke

Ah, i get it now ...but i cant really see any kind of greenish on my farthings...

(Comparing to my own farthings) You should find that the early Victorian Bronze (1860-1880), and the 'non-darkened' George V (1918-1936) Farthings are gold in colour with a brilliant shine to them. The latter Victorian (1881-1895), and the Wren design (1937-1956) Farthings have a bright copper colour with a sharper strike. I am not sure what you mean by greenish though?

Yep, i agree with that, im all for conservative

Just wondering what online games people play. I play Ferion sometimes, as Combustion_Reloaded

Ooh, a tough one there... I actually agree with Mr.Blair about the fact that a war on Iraq was nessesary. If war was not decided then Sadam Hussain would still be in power. When Sadam was in power, the Iraqi public had no choice but Iraq victory, e.g. Iraqi sportsmen/women were killed if they did not win gold in the olympics! The situation after the war has been horrendus though, suicide bombs, car bombs, threats on the general Iraqi public, the horrific slaughter of innocent foreign people. But then again, what is it that these terrorists want, Sadam or their own power over Iraq? I still agree with Mr. Blair on certain aspects of the war effort.

I doubt thats the reason, old men need time to think

A wire...it is probably attached to a microphone or a headpiece so he can hear the audience...not nessesarily used to 'cheat' debates

Its a token i believe

How much do you agree with politics?... Just thought i would start this one for the pure benefit of a debate

same with me...but we speak Slough (if 'Slough' counts as an accent), all 'init''s (isn't it)and juno wa'mean (Do you know what i mean)...amazes me sometimes

i meant as good as new with the lustre... ...never mind

I didn't say restoring the detail, i said

Londoners are the worst in my opinion, they sound very thick...and if you think of all the intelegent people of london, they sound all upper class and posh

I did a little test you see on a Fine, or Almost VF at best, 1965 penny...i used some bronze cleaner used for antiques and left it in a capsual...now the coin looks as good as new with the same amount of same coloured luster as my other BU pennies... It probably depends on the cleaning method

You obviously mean cleaned hammered coins, or coins that have had their dirt removed...you would not like a coin that has been highly cleaned from Fine to BU!

History, Physics and Chemistry... It used to be just Physics and Chemistry, but when i started to collect coins i seemed to like history far more

Yes, the cartwheel twopence does exist...it is only for 1797 but with a lot of very expencieve proofs...i would stick to silver if i were you
