    Very clever... Took me a few minutes to realize sigma didn't mean sigma

    Much on the same context.. Someone asks you if you have the time. You look at your watch and say yes. They never asked for the time, although it is implied that they were looking for the current time . So many instances of idiom and implied, versus literal....

    Understood... I just have memories of it being drummed into us in school that we CAN have something although we MAY not have it...

    Shouldn't it be "May" and not "Can"?? Possibly, in this sense however, "Can" is acceptable, inasmuch as the restaurant may not have all the ingredients in stock. Ergo, you may have a ham sandwich, except for the fact that we don't have all the ingredients. Therefore you can't have one.

    Listening to US Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren starting most of her responses with "so", was one of the most annoying speaking habits to which I've been exposed. I've always felt that the use of "so", or "well", was superfluous and annoying and indicative of poor public speaking training and habit. I've nothing against its occasional use, however it's consistent usage makes it, to me, a point of caricature.

    Neither did I.... I also submitted a spotted 1971 Israel 10 lirot Let my people go Bern mint, Mintage 80. It came back proof-68... No complaints there either

    I just received my packet back from NGC. Here is the F164a after conservation and slabbing
  11. Bronze & Copper Collector
    Coincidentally, I have recently submitted it to NGC for conservation (along with another coin) and am awaiting its return. Hopefully it will arrive within a month or so...

    The date is correct on this specimen, the coin itself is upside down....
  13. Bronze & Copper Collector
    Yes....

    "Shilling" a Crown for dollars

    I concur with Bernie... Looks as all legitimate F/P's look. I too have it on reverse G, paired with both obverse 6 and 7. I've seen other F/P claims with other obverse and or reverses, but I've yet to see one that I would accept as such. Not to say that they do not exist, merely that I haven't seen an example yet.

    Love it... A classic. ...

    Reminds me of the constantly changing sign in Fawlty Towers.....

    I've personally owned about 10-12 different specimens over the years. Passed on as I upgraded or just sold if not an improvement... I only recall 2 without the recut A, all the others had the recut A indentifier...

    Across the pond we would say that that makes no cents....

    Or get rid of cable television and go back to rabbit ears....

    These puns are getting to be a rabbit with me..

    Can't we just leaf it be???

    I had listed some lots of Halfpennies and pennies, identified by Freeman numbers and ebays' bots kicked it out as using numerical grading..... I had to change it from F number to Freeman number to get it to list....
  24. Bronze & Copper Collector
    There are times that it looks like an obverse 6 too.... You have the coin in hand so I'll defer to your assessment. Images can be deceptive even with no deception intended....
  25. Bronze & Copper Collector
    Image looks like a 7 & G, F-282.. Can't be sure unless it's in hand
