Quite so. One thing hard Brexiters just will not accept is that there are very many reasons people voted the way they did in 2016, on both sides. Who knows what the sentiments are now, but if there is to be a second referendum (based on what we now know rather than the vague information and promises made 3 years ago) then both sides must accept the outcome, whatever it is. You say "unfortunately" but in the case of Ireland and Denmark, the voters overturned the result of the previous referendum so it wasn't their government who decided the outcome. The case of Greece is different - the government there ignored the result of the referendum and settled a deal with the EU. You'd have thought that Greek government would have been thrown out at the next election but amazingly they were re-elected. I think the FIRST referendum did untold harm to the political system already, but as we may be seeing seismic changes in the traditional 2-party FPTP system, that may not prove to be a bad thing in the long run. A single party exerting a stranglehold for 5, 10, 15 years is not really a good system for the modern era.

I think it's a legislative amendment? Cooper's similar amendment was defeated a couple of weeks ago, but the non-binding amendment that was voted on the same night was passed.

Yeah - I downloaded iOS 11 for my iPad before realising that with iOS 11 you can no longer switch off "2 Factor Authorisation", something I find a PITA as despite "trusting" my browser I can't login to iCloud on my desktop without first entering a 6-digit code sent to my iPad. Sigh.

Obviously stuck in their pocket with other money for several months...

The Apple habit of issuing a new OS every damn year is also horrendously irritating. I'm still using the ancient Mavericks (2013) which is only a little older than Windows 10! And don't get me started on the lack of optical drives. Wot, we don't watch movies any more???

Mine looks rather sick by comparison, especially the reverse, but I can console myself with the fact it only cost a fraction!

That would be the square root of F**kall...

Good job there isn't an F, to commemorate the naval landing on....

That's a strong price! But worth it in that condition, I'd say.

The EU cannot compromise on the backstop - they (as May obviously isn't going to, in thrall to her ERG 'party within a party') have to protect the Good Friday Agreement. Interesting - where did you hear that? If it happens, it means any EU member state could use Ireland to get effectively free trade with the UK and vice versa. I imagine Dublin would soon take a dim view of that, especially if the EU threatened to protect the Single Market. I very much doubt Brussels would wear it for very long. The Single Market does have its own border after all. Corbyn's conversion to the idea of a Customs Union increasingly looks like the most sensible alternative. There's no great resistance to the idea, apart from the hardest of hard Brexiters.

or a little under £200

Very nice Mike. You're right, it's probably the hardest Edward penny to find in top condition, and that includes the 1902LT in my opinion.

What's worrying is that they've combined an obviously fake portrait (the eye is wrong and the beard is just too detailed and perfect) with the 'not fully struck up' Britannia that is par for the course on genuine examples. Ok, it's only £12:50 but someone is going to buy a few and sell them to unsuspecting punters for hundreds.

Are they the same coin? They appear to be different shapes!

I think it looks good. Couple of things: 1. it's "coarse" not "course". 2. I'm a bit confused about the difference between the first screen and the Home screen - the former is a nice welcome with a pleasant scenic picture, but the latter is exactly the same but without the picture! Are you planning to develop the Home screen so there's more on it? I think the Denomination approach works best, as it's usually particular denominations, not monarchs, that come in for fakery. E.g., George III is known most for evasion halfpennies (and contemporary forgeries), and also Northumberland shillings. The halfpennies make an interesting historical study for the reasons that underlay their forging; the shillings however are modern and intended to fool collectors. Otherwise the halfpenny and shilling fakes have absolutely nothing to do with each other. So IMO the denomination approach is not only better but more logical.

Takes all sorts. I love pre-Conquest (Ancient) coins, and early milled on. I just don't much care for those medieval wafers.

Their GEF is barely EF. Your EF is at least GEF!

Seems to be £160 now, just about everywhere.

The resolution is exactly the same - it's digital.

No images visible, just little blue squares with white ? marks.

It's just that - having no interest in hammered - I ignore the forum completely, so it's good not to see hammered in other forums!

Have fun, Grandma

This whole thread should really be in the Hammered forum
