We just defenestrate them... -
Florin diameters
Peckris 2 replied to david.bordeaux's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
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! -
1897 Penny - NGC calls these two High Tide, seems incorrect
Peckris 2 replied to SilverAge3's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
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. -
Astonishing colonial attitude

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. -
Anyone know the Lumix DMC-GF2 camera?
Peckris 2 replied to blakeyboy's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
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. -
Stuff to Make Us Laugh
Peckris 2 replied to Madness's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
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. -

That's L for Leica not Lumix .. so probably not cheap. -

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

Disgraceful. 4 over 5? Yes, if I own a 1959 penny or a 1968 halfcrown...

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

£15 ? -

Peckris 2 replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
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'. -

can you decipher those "desig"s? I infer that PF stands for 'proof' but what the hell is the rest of it? -
Yeah - 1864 is also very tough in higher grades.

Missing Horizontal line on shield
Peckris 2 replied to Mario's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
that looks as though it COULD be a 3/2? -
is that the very rare 'lighthouse on lighthouse' variety? 😆

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

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

VIP proof? (Very Improbable Price) -
Presumably surgical spirit - being clear - doesn't have any dye problem?

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

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.
