Another very nice coin

Welcome to the forum Krasnaya, nice to see more people joining the forum I hope you feed the Russians, ancient Greeks and Ukrainians that you collect

Very nice

Money, Genuine One Pound Coin And I quote: " Although I have no actual evidence that this was the actual coin used by Prince Charles to put the deposit down on Camillas new engagement ring, it has got a picture of his mum on the back! ( a bit of a give away don't you think?) " ...and its recieved a bid...!

It does look nice. Out of interest, do you know who designed it?

Indeed

Ebay

Yup, I agree with that too...good advice.

Its looking good so far...one typo: "I got this lot fo less than three quid".

Thanks Kuhli, I shall edit that when I get home from school... Oh, and Mitch, I have replied to your question in my forum (in the ofice area).

You can say that again!...and I live about 100 miles from kent!

I am currently in the same situation as Oli. Not that I am in the year when I take the GCSE exams, but most of the coursework for the GCSE's are done this year, and so far its been a very time consuming task...just this week (Monday and Tuesday) I have been set a 200 word French essay, a 1500 word piece of English coursework, two ICT reports that should be at least two pages each...its immence!!! Good luck to whom ever you choose

Thanks William, I shall make sure that they are corrected tommorow.

Could do, I suppose, I have already asked Mitch if he would like to become an admin on my forum...

After Mitch created his free website, I got the urge to own one myself. Also with help from Mitch at getting the host and site builder working, I have now finished it (My Webpage). There is still a bit more to do to it, and more pages to load, but I think I have completed the basics of it. There is also a forum link (My Forum), which, as with Mitch, I am looking for moderators and what I have put as super moderators to help the forum in control (PM me if you want to be a mod/supermod).

I don't have an Ipod Mini, but two of my friends do (haven't seen them with them yet though so I have my doubts )...Ipods are great, so I suppose that Mini Ipods are even better

Very good point

Looking good so far, just reading it is giving me visions of owning some of those pictured notes..but then I look at the price!!! The passages at the begining of each section are an interesting read. It would be brilliant if this continued throughout the book... Good work indeed, I also look forward to the end result

Well done mitch

Thats if he would even want to sell it...maybe there will be a latter edition sometime in the future.

I think you mean vulnerable; venerable means impressive due to age. Yes, thanks for pointing that out...stupid Frontpage Spellchecker ! Edit: And Oxidisation is what I coppied from an online dictionary!

Buying Coins There are a few things to look out for when buying coins. I have found that it is best to buy the higher condition coins (Unc. to BU) as they have no real let downs. When buying lower condition coins (Fair - EF), you have to make sure that they are not damaged or diseased as this will affect its price and its overall look. When you buy your first coin, it is usually a 'willy-nilly' pick from a group of coins that appeal to you. This is a good thing as specialising in a single coin type usually takes time for you to decide what to do with your collection. When buying coins, you should look out for: Verdigris - Greenish grey discolouration, caused by oxidation. A disease that grows on coins if kept in damp and humid places. Copper is the most vulnerable, silver is more immune to verdigris, and gold takes ages before verdigris sets in. Edge damage - Dented rims, and chips on the edges. This is commonly found on British copper coins between 1797 - 1860, especially on cartwheel pennies. This is where the coin has been dropped at some time. Blistering is also a type of edge damage that is found on tin coins through corrosion. Scratches and other surface marks- A scratch across the surface of the coin can be off-putting. Some coins however can have die flaws that resemble scratches, an example of this is the 1736 I/A in Britannia farthing which has a scratch through the date that appears on every coin of this type. Streaky lustre - This is found after the coin (EF. or higher) has been badly stored so that the lustre remains look streaky and quite off-putting. Wear - Some parts of the coin have been worn down so that detail is not seeable and letters are not readable. This is usually found on coins that are Fair or below, and usually attract no interest (unless it is a rarity). This sometimes occurs as a die flaw, an example of this would be the 1902 type A farthing which has a blank patch on Britannia's breastplate. The above things are all bad and not worth buying unless you really want it. Damaged coins sell for less than perfect coins.

Going by what Millimoo said, I am pretty sure that he used a book. Welcome to the forum Snailx

Its a very new name, the dictionary that I have (published 2004) lists words like 'dunno' etc... and 'chav' is not in there. Edit: 1600th Post

Every week in the 'Slough Express' at least one of the pages has an article titled 'Group of Chavs Attack Pensioner for a Fiver' etc... They are rarely seen in Grammar or Private schools. They are found en masse around Secondary schools, pestering everyone as they walk past (I always walk on the other side of the road when passing the Secondary school that I pass on my way to school).
