  1. As he's only the Vice President, does that make him just a half pense?
  2. Hilarious adverts! As to the product, this might interest you: https://anewlifeinnorway.wordpress.com/2012/09/30/seen-it-before-copy-cat-products-in-norway/
  3. Yes - they were hoarded in bulk in the early years following the debasement of .925 silver to 50% in 1920. Many people, not just collectors, wanted the higher silver content. That's also why you see so much high grade silver from 1942-1946 after the removal of silver in 1947. As for the 1920s issues, yes fewer people hoarded them as they were debased, but it's also partly due to the shallower portrait from 1920 which meant the larger silver wore much more quickly.
  4. I'm not sure - they moved more than 25 years ago! I think it may have been number 11?
  5. My sisters lived in Boscombe for years! Undercliff Rd near the beach.
  6. Heracleum Mantegazziani!! ("Mighty hogweed is a veg" as one of my Uni friends thought they were singing..)
  7. Yes, a better picture. At least AEF I'd say.
  8. Nice one - a useful gap to fill. I'd personally rate it NEF/GVF but nevertheless a tricky better grade to find.
  9. I might find this more funny if I wasn't myself a snowflake (surely one of nature's more beautiful things? and each one unique..) and proud of it.
  10. Pictures here please, would be much appreciated, or else please post the link to the precise page you mean. Thanks.
  11. Can you put pictures? I've only ever seen it as a vertical dash with one end slightly wider than the other.
  12. Have you actually done that? I haven't got an 'Unread' notification.
  13. It does look polished. However, I'm not convinced about the fibre - could be scratches?
  14. As the bishop said to the actress...
  15. Have you tried looking in web mail to see if there are more messages there than you're seeing in Outlook? That doesn't help resolve your Outlook problem but at least you can keep a weather eye on your email until the spam folder is restored one way or another.
  16. Except that by his calculations the human population would now be in the trillions.
  17. That second example doesn't look like a normal lustred coin. It looks more like a darkened farthing that's been treated? It certainly doesn't look natural.
  18. You lived right by Windsor Castle?
  19. Fine stuff - if almost the very definition of a Vertigo band!
  20. "Double struck" as opposed to double punched? Yes, I'd concur - the linear circle shows the same phenomenon.
