    Florin diameters

    We just defenestrate them...

    Florin diameters

    I'd find a variation in diameter puzzling (and surprising) as coin machines were very sensitive to size and weight. On the other hand, they weren't so sensitive that they wouldn't take a worn coin... so ignore me!
  3. Yes - the scarce variety used to be called the "2mm variety" as that was the distance from the trident to P of PENNY, greater that that on the normal variety. The scarce variety also has a sea level so low it's barely there behind Britannia.
  4. Yes. And no. Judaism embraces all Jews, including those who are atheists. The defining of what exactly Jews are is one of the trickiest things, and probably unique in world history.
  5. Panasonic have a partnership with Leica - some models are almost identical apart from their badging and exterior styling. And many Lumix models come with Leica lenses, or Lumix lenses co-developed with Leica.
  6. Oh yes, though I haven't read any for years. My favourite was the guy who fitted a very large powerful rocket to the top of his car. Yes, it achieved incredible speed though a sandstone bluff brought EVERYTHING to a sudden end.
  7. That's L for Leica not Lumix .. so probably not cheap.

    1908 penny with a larger 0

    This was the very first image that came up on google, so unless a coincidence, I'd say not rare:

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Disgraceful. 4 over 5? Yes, if I own a 1959 penny or a 1968 halfcrown...
  10. To be fair, looking at the resale pictures (which are much better than the original seller's), he got it for a very decent price. Though his selling price is a tad optimistic for a coin that - despite lustre - is barely VF! ... possibly not even that.

    Coin prices continue to rise

    I assume all those 'desig's are American? They are the only collectors who seem even remotely interested whether a coin is 'red' (by which they mean yellow/orange of course), 'red/brown', or 'brown'.

    Coin prices continue to rise

    can you decipher those "desig"s? I infer that PF stands for 'proof' but what the hell is the rest of it?

    1867 Penny F53 6+G , UNC.

    Yeah - 1864 is also very tough in higher grades.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Feedback of 90% says it all really.
  15. that looks as though it COULD be a 3/2?

    More Pennies

    is that the very rare 'lighthouse on lighthouse' variety? 😆

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I saw that. I don't smell a rat, I smell a dead heffalump...

    Possible error.

    Possibly you meant it IS an error? But not a fake.

    VIP proof? (Very Improbable Price)

    Using acetone to clean coins

    Presumably surgical spirit - being clear - doesn't have any dye problem?

    Error Code?

    All been fine here, on my ancient version of Firefox.

    Useful Advice

    It's not entirely 'cached' - yes, that's part of the reason, but it's mainlyt down to the fact that your browser is running the site a bit "behind". As you say, refreshing the page should resolve things, but having said that I've never had a problem with Noonans where the video shows separately from the lot information and two appear to be in sync.
