100% agreed. Incidentally, where is Richard? Normally logs in several times a day. Last seen Aug 29.

looks like it's from an auction catalogue, Rob. Do you have details as to which one? Thanks.

OK thanks.

As Rob says, yours was the "PENNEY" spelling error, as opposed to the rare date. We found yours in this thread, but for whatever reason Richard couldn't properly load the reverse pic (scroll down to example 4 of the "PENNEY" errors) in his rarest pennies website. Does the date example with the bright blue background, belong to you?

I think that's probably correct. We do lack manual skill in tis country. Good job Rob is so good, and such a decent boke.

When in doubt look up

He looks so smug, doesn't he.

well yes, I take your point, but he must also know that only a tiny minority take wokeism seriously, nor does it ever affect more than a tiny minority. If Putin did decide to attack across Europe he'd be annihilated. As for voluntereering, how many of the Russian population would want to take part in a suicide mission?

They could be. Or perhaps from the USA. I'm not convinced Putin has any interest in fanning the flames of wokery.

Thanks Ian - I didn't actually buy it, on the basis I've already got one just as good, if not better, for a lot more. Could conceivably be a fake.

Absolute stonking bargain in this condition - link

My thread page buttons are working fine. Able to navigate between different pages on different threads, no problem at all.

Yes, it does seem random, as many of the coins aren't slabbed. Some were slabbed years ago and have already gone past the 10 year expiry date, and some have only just been done and have an expiry date of June 2033.I would think done at Noonan's behest after seeking Richardson's permission. Interesting that the now slabbed 1806/1805, is "top pop" - no doubt because it's the only example there. Might be worth making an enquiry about the KT3 in the sense of why no further expansion beyond the fact that it was slabbed by NGC. Is it now?

The more purchases that are made online, the less cash will be used. But if there is s High Street revival, then there will be a commensurate revival in the use of cash. Oh and don't forget that in some other countries cash is used more than here, and is protected in law.
