  1. My mistake - I used to live south of Birmingham and in my mental map I was travelling due north on the M5 (really, NE) and therefore north east on the M42 (really, due east). Just goes to show that mental maps can lead one astray! I stand by my Spinal Tap theory...
  2. Obviously created by a Spinal Tap fan. (By the way, the M40 and the M42 merge NORTH East of Brum - the SE is the merge of M42 & M5.)
  3. Not at that price. Yes, it's a nice strike, but anything over £100 for a silver George V florin is pushing it.
  4. I'd suggest they're just flying a kite to see if anyone bites (if you'll excuse the mixed metaphor). I'd say the fact that no-one is watching tells you all you need to know.
  5. that's because it was never a single - just a track on one of the Trojan compilations
  6. Absolutely nothing compared to Wreck A Buddy by the Soul Sisters! "I need a man to wreck ′im buddy. A big, strong man to wreck 'Im buddy. And if he′s ugly, I don't mind - He has a dick and I want to grind I want to grind, I want to grind"
  7. Caravan named one of their albums Cunning Stunts. Mind you, this was the band that had In The Land Of Grey And Pink, and If I Could Do It All Again, I'd Do It All Over You, among others...
  8. I'd say it was a simple and straightforward repunching of the 8 and 6, a very very common phenomenon with early bronze.
  9. I did too and got a very dismissive reply.
  10. Yes, well struck specimens of 1920-1926 are worth getting, as the shallow portrait isn't always well struck, and wears very quickly even where the reverse appears UNC.
  11. Astronomical. Die imperfections I can live with, but not identical digs which - being incuse - cannot have come from anything to do with the die.
  12. They were totally inexperienced and green, so they ended up red-faced and far from 'in the pink'. In fact they were quite blue, and decided to leave to take part in the #BlackBallsMatter protest.
  13. OMG, please tell me that's not real!!
  14. The link isn't a jpeg - it's a webp that my Mac can do nothing with.
  15. Why is the sovereign made of copper???
  16. The weakness at the top of the shield is perfectly normal for these issues. Nice coin.
  17. Rearrange these words to make a sentence: "well their they arses covered have"
  18. It's a very nice example but you're right - well overpriced. 1915, 1916, and 1918 are the easiest to find in high grade.
  19. I remember that his prices were fair for the coins he sold, but the grades were VERY optimistic. You didn't get the bargain you thought you were getting, but you didn't pay over the odds.
  20. Done.
