Also, is http://www.spinkbooks.com/ not loading for anyone else at the moment?
Loading fine for me - was it a temporary glitch?

I'm 71 and I only remember transport in that list, but there wasn't very much of it!

Why does he say bathroom? Why doesn't he say 'toilet' like everyone else

Sadly he is using yet questionable evidence of another error from PGCS . Drop him a message if you can be bothered . Thank you
have messaged him.

On a Mac press Cmd-Shift-4 then draw a rectangle around what you want to capture and release the mouse.
Instead of going to your clipboard, the screenshot is saved to your desktop with the date and time appended.

25 minutes ago, Coinery said:Quick question re this point. I ask because I’m compiling a catalogue of the Elizabeth I anchor shillings, and would ultimately want to put it out there!
What do you do re gathering photos from the net, as it’s sometimes near impossible to track the source or get permission from the original photographer?
You could try the following:
1. reduce the size of the image
2. add a colour cast (e.g. sepia) to make it look different
3. acknowledge the website where you got it from (if 'Contact us' has failed)

Crazily, this particular coin made $576 two years ago.

32 minutes ago, Sword said:Surely , adding 30% by mental arithmetic isn't very difficult to do. One can also produce a conversion table in advance if necessary.
No, but in the rapid bidding maelstrom, it's good to see the actual amount and not have to recalculate every split second.

The hanging gardens of Babylon, perhaps...

3 hours ago, TomGoodheart said:?? Surely, buyer's premium is added to the hammer cost. So it's something that I do have to pay (plus vat) as a buyer. And take into consideration when bidding.
I also bear it in mind when reviewing what level of 'service' I feel I've received, such as speed and cost of dispatch and the level of care taken to safely package my purchases. That the seller might not get as much because everyone is adjusting their bids down by 30% is of course also an issue.With decent auction houses, e.g. Noonans, the online bid window shows not only the current bid but also what that equals in terms of hammer, so you don't have to do any mental arithmetic while bidding.

11 hours ago, jelida said:I have examples of 1860 pennies with a 6/6 strike. As Rob says, manual entry of the last two date digits may well be a factor as well as repair of a clogged die. Gouby illustrates examples. Interesting, and worthy of note but not especially unusual to find same letter or digit overstrikes, unlike wrong letter or digit overstrikes which are true varieties.
Jerry
Interestingly if you look at my farthing you can see that the 6 has been rotated resulting in 2 tails. However you will also note that the 1 needs the same treatment, and the 2 is - as so often with the final digit - badly positioned. You can understand the correction of the 6 as it was needed for more than one year, but by that token you would think the 1 should have been corrected as it was the millennium digit!

interestingly there is also an 1862 farthing with similar 6 repunch

Click on that and you get to choose a size to attach it at, with it also highlighting the Kbs at each size! Nice touch Apple!
Yes, that's always also been an option in Apple Mail, though there the options are confined to 'Small" 'Medium' 'Large' and 'Full size'.

Yes, if you reduce the f ile size you shouldn't have any difficulty - there's plenty of software out there which will not only make the image smaller, but also reduce its quality to a still acceptable image.

The French title would possibly confirm that? Scotland and France had a strong alliance back then.

Please explain why the 1806-07 pennies are considered the fourth issue
in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

Indeed - the first pennies were 1797 cartwheels - nothing before or after until 1806.
