Geordie582

Who or what are the Back Street Boys?

You've never heard of the border reivers. Basically, local lords who were empowered to keep the peace in the borders because the king couldn't! They were really a bunch of north english and southern scottish land holders who did what they liked. mostly raiding each other doing the usual, rape pillage rustling. A nice bunch. I don't know how long they'reigned'. but from about 13th to 17th centuries. Border Reivers

So that's what happened to the reivers!

Yep! But I'm not bothered. As long as it doesn't interfere with future bidding Dislexia of the fingers again!

OK! I've cracked it! I'm back on ebay by subterfuge. I have registered again, using 582geordie instead of geordie582, and using a Switch card instead of Credit Card. So now you know! A silly thing as, once registered, they put me staight to the coins pages!!! Do you reckon they know what they're doing??

Oh! and by the way, I'm selling an item on ebay, so how I'm supposed to service the deal when the auction finishes, I have no idea!

It was ebay alright. Their customer services email confirmed it. I guess I'll just have to cast the site into the dustbin! Probably a good thing. I have bought some good coins there but some duds also. It maybe teach me to be more picky although my main past-time was buying coins that were doubtfully identified and trying to calalogue them correctly.

I used to browse coins on ebay and bid and buy occasionally - but - they have now blocked my ident and password saying I am a security risk. This I could accept if I had viruses but a scan with AntiVir and the "malicious program debugger" from Microsoft can find nothing! A long list of bugs was given by Microsoft, all clear. I wanted to appeal the blocking, but the only help i got from ebay was to be told to log on and go through the appeal procedure. You've guessed it! I can't log on because I'm blocked! Anyone else been in this position? and if so, what's the answere?

Wow! Top class start! I'm envious!

Sorry! I don't wear French Connection.

Evolution? Backwards!

Nah! Swallowed one once. Got it back later!

Children! Children.! Decorum please! This is a serious achedemic site!

I'm surprised you could attribute them to anything! Even a toy manufacturer couldn't make such a mess of it!

Ah! But sooooo welcome at christmas dinner!

I've noticed a gradual increase in the prices of Henry III, Edwards I, II, III lately. Don't know if that is general across all Hammered?

Don't ask!!

My ancesters were Scots - but I've tried to hid that for years!

I can't understand why you are encouraging him/her/it!

Get some new glasses!

I'd say Constantinople mint. You may be right with Valentinian though Gratian used the same reverse, as did Valens!

Spot on Sylvester. Are you going to put the Royal Mint right?

Henry III? Has anyone seen such poorly produced hammered as this?

I can't be bothered with a website. Too much troub;e keeping it up to date, taking time away from coins! I just use Omnicoin for selected coins I may want to discuss.( courtesy of Coinpeople.com)

I prefer German or Spanish. They make more sense!
