I'm talking about the Unread Content. There's two options there, Expanded and Condensed. Expanded shows the thread titles, the sub-titles, and the first line of the new post, taking up 5 or 6 lines. If there are - for example - 7 or 8 topics with new posts, that's a lot of scrolling down. Condensed gives you just the topic title and who posted, in a single line, so you can see more or less all Unread Content on one page, which is what I have always used. However, the Condensed button is borked, for me at any rate. Try it yourself and see if you see any difference between Ex'd and Cn'd. Let me know what you see. If you don't know what I'm talking about I'll have to use screenshots.

Any responses? Anyone seeing Condensed listings working since the day before yesterday?

I doubt it. I doubt wreath crowns circulated. There just weren't many of them, and most shops wouldn't have even known what they were. I think that some owners kept them - as you say - as pocket pieces, or rubbed them clean often. Their treatment would have been the same as 'circulated' but remaining with just one person.

Anyone else noticed this problem? I normally view Unread Content by Condensed listing, but starting today, it refuses to display that; everything is in Expanded form. Yes I can click Condensed, though it doesn't take effect, and next time it's reverted to Expanded.

Strange - my post has since disappeared. I simply said that The Mail has put the 1926ME and 1919KN pennies firmly in their place.

I go with the "genuine coins turn into fakes after 10 years" thesis. 😃

Sad news. Remember the Innes Book Of Records? 😥

No, quite right. VF+ = GVF. Intermediate grades - e.g. from F to VF - would be F / F+ or GF / NVF / AVF / VF. (N = nearly A = about). A wearing die versus a new die might be AEF / GEF. Where the obverse and reverse are different grades, they're given separately (obverse first) - e.g. VF/EF

Many would say EF - I just think parts of it are a little soft, but it could be a wearing die.

British coin grades are standard: UNC and BU EF VF F Fair or VG What varies is people's interpretations of grades. EF and VF aren’t as strict as they were 30 years ago (except as listed by Spink). F is more consistent though I've seen even reputable dealers use it for coins no better than Fair.

I agree, and thought that even before I saw your reply.

You've only posted the reverse, so this is qualified: it's slightly soft, so I'd rate it AEF with traces of lustre.

That may well be true. However, it's a fact that the changeover to bronze was delayed by the many difficulties the Mint encountered, so the 1860 output WAS rushed and may account for many of the strange features to be seen.

Hugh Grant was discovered getting a bl0w j0b in an LA taxi. He pleaded guilty to indecent behaviour in a public place, and asked for soixante-huit other offences to be taken into consideration.

Yes, I'm very familiar with Sylvia Sims (I'll rephrase that...) - I meant the asp picture.

Good question. They were so far behind when they struck 1860 bronze my guess is that they might have "not noticed". Only a guess mind.

No space in front of the W ? Well, that's ok then! 😄

Welcome back Madness, even if only for Christmas!

I'm not sure. I think it's a lion. Or possibly a lamb..

Sorry if I'm being insensitive, but as an MS sufferer myself I was wondering what MSA is?

I'd be happy to go with that! I mean, I've avoided the Brexit topic for months on end.

Then I'm totally baffld by your GF assessment Mike!
