Number 4 probably isn't as pricey as you would think - well, not as pricey as the other four.

Thank you ever so much, Colin! Your wishes and donation are much appreciated. I would also like to thank all of those who have donated, your money really is going to a good cause as it will provide much needed funds for Save the Children and all of the valuable work that they do. All the best! Kindest Regards, Clive.

Your pictures are very pixelated to see anything on it, i think you have böown a very small picture to the extreme and has therefor distorted the image I do not believe that brilliant images are needed if coinquest asked for "info about trade dollars"... So, here is a link that provides some concise information that might 'enlighten' you: http://silvercoinand.com/british-trade-dollar.html

Vicky Silver, I have a feeling that you will get some questions answered here as the members seem much more engaged and knowledgeable in world currency. It is an interesting proof set though and I would love to know the outcome of your enquiry too!

I like it, it makes for more amusing reading.

Not really my thing either. At a guess, I'd say Indian kingdom coin?

Sure. That's why they now have a 10% market share (up from around 2% some years ago). That's why they are now worth more than Microsoft. That's why they run Windows games faster than PCs do. That's why Windows imitates OS X more and more with every new release. That's why they have the largest market share of laptops of any individual manufacturer. Sure. Everyone hates them, that's why. Never said everyone hates them, just correcting the post to reflect my opinion.

Peter thing? There is a regular, friendly user here called Peter...

What Bob said.

:lol:

Having the photos on my HTC Desire is certainly a godsend. Admittedly, I only got the phone on Monday and so am accessing them remotely, but I've bought a 14GB card and so shall get around to putting them all onto the phone. I would recommend trying it out, I personally do not have an iPod or iPhone but it might be worth sampling various methods. Over the next few weeks, I shall let you know how my project pans out, if I get around to it...

Don't bother, it's the same on Chrome. Either way, I'm still going to come and visit this forum, so it's not a major hurdle. Clive.

Unfortunately, my browser is still reporting malware and advising me to avoid predecimal entirely.

I'm always game for deleting spam and come on here most days. Happy to help if you want.

Well, someone got out of bed the correct side this morning. Thanks Peckris, we all wanted to say it.

Google, as a user, is a bot that trawls through forums for links to enable their search engine to perform better and present the forum's posts as results when people search Google. You will also sometimes see Yahoo and others appear. So don't worry, it's only a friendly search bot that follows links. Think of it as a trusty bloodhond, if you will.

Very interesting, I didn't expect it to make the Daily Fail's headlines! Thanks for the link, Beebman.

Listing removed, thanks for the heads up.

If that's what you get in your change up there, Hus, then I'm moving house!!!

I was to happy to receive one of these in my change at the pub last night. Although I cannot, for the life of me, find how many were minted.

It is indeed a shortcross penny. The moneyer is Samuel and the mint is Canterbury. From that photograph of the obverse and the significant level of wear, it is hard to determine a class. But it, at least, looks to be a penny of King John. I hope this helps somewhat. Kindest Regards, Clive.

Looking at a couple of names on their list I can safely agree with you on that one.

:lol: Having a smart phone is brilliant though as it enables the user to internet access virtually anywhere. I am planning on getting one within the next few weeks.

Buying an Edward the Confessor Hammer Cross penny for £190 sold as being of York mint. Actually of Derby mint and exceptionally rare as appears to have used the York dies but had the mint legend altered, as shown by the crude legends and the presence of an annulet in one quarter. Buying an as-struck William I Paxs penny at auction listed as London mint for £260, actually Bristol. Receiving a cut half of Henry I Annulet type for 50 pence. Spink offered me £150. Buying a Coenwulf penny for £350 which is actually a trial strike and the said design never made it into coinage, the 'coin' has been folded awkwardly which implies it was void as tender. It's something that you cannot put a true value on.
