    Had a few insect bites this Summer, but no major league bites as from horse flies. Just a bit red and itchy.

    Thanks a lot, Ian. Much appreciated

    Evening chaps - can someone kindly confirm for me that this is reverse N. I have an opportunity to buy a F114, and I want to be absolutely sure that this is a F115 before I splash out. I'm 99% certain it's the much commoner reverse N, but there is just that niggling doubt, as it was bought in more unsophisticated days simply as 1882H, and no type. I find the two reverses difficult to tell apart as the differences are (or appear to me to be) quite subtle. Thanks in advance.

    Thank you Richard

    Beautiful coins above. I'd love to see a pic of the unique Freemans 2 & 34 (1860 and 1861) Victorian penny gold proofs.

    What's the latest with regard to the fire itself? Not been much about it on the news recently.

    Agree with you Peter. We need a picture. If the date hasn't got an H underneath the date, then the minimum rarity is R12, which is rare. In fact the commonest 1874 halfpenny, with an H, is R8, so not common even then.

    That's the problem with buying a slightly sub standard coin. You always want an upgrade, and when you get one, the first coin becomes a redundant spare. Unless the coin is of exceptional rarity and unlikely to be offered again in a hurry, at any grade, don't settle for second best.

    Harry Maguire - the toast of England so far ETA: Dele Ali - the second toast of England 2nd ETA: Jordan Pickford third toast of England Well done England. They were rampant today. Bring on Russia or Croatia on Wednesday. If Russia it will be like an away match in an incredibly partisan atmosphere. We will see !!!

    I notice some idiot has been arrested for starting a fire on Winter Hill.
  12. 1949threepence
    Oddly enough, all my best purchases seem to be made in the Winter period, almost without fail - from all sources.
  13. 1949threepence
    Again, thanks very much for that useful info @kildonan. Much appreciated.

    I know they do, Peter. I think we'd either drive up, or get the train, on the day. Problem with the train is that whatever route we decided to take from here, would necessitate at least one change. My current favourite is to change the once, at Peterborough. Are you going?
  15. 1949threepence
    Thanks for that, Pete. Very much appreciated.

    Thanks Pete

    Seriously thinking of going this year, and may well make purchases. However, I'm wondering if it's best to armed with a wad of notes, or whether dealers are happy to accept a debit card payment. From what I've heard in the past, notes are better, but unsure as to what payment medium is generally preferred/acceptable. The other point is whether or not it's on the ground floor, and are there seats placed at convenient intervals? My partner would quite like to come with me, and because she suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, can't do stairs or stand for long periods of time. Needs to sit at reasonably frequent intervals, although only for two or three minutes at most. If not at ground level, is there a lift? Also, is anybody else on here planning to go, either as a visitor or a dealer? Thanks in advance

    They are very hard to find in top drawer condition. I got mine in a partially completed Whitman Folder of threepenny bits, predominantly worn specimens, apart from the 1960's, but with this really nice 1948. Not, however, as nice as Mick's. Never realised before that the 1946 and 1949, were specifically minted for the West Indies, so thanks for the info. Knew the 1950 and 51 pennies were.

    There were nearly 7 million of the 1927 old shield reverse issued, but as ozjohn says, only 15.000 proof versions of the new shield reverse. I bet the owner did fall on hard times. Either that or it was stolen and the thief just thought it was an ordinary halfcrown. The term "impaired proof" comes to mind.

    It's not reflecting anything. It's merely deflecting away from a point you know you can't logically and factually address. No It isn't. I've just checked all the posts in that thread.
  21. 1949threepence
    What thread was that on? I've not seen it. Just made a search for the phrase and it leads straight back here.
  22. 1949threepence
    It's factually incorrect. Bear in mind what the moderator, @TomGoodheart said in the now closed thread about certain things that are said reflecting on the forum, and also bear in mind this is a public area of the forum. You have stated that the majority on this forum lean far to the right of centre, despite having seen only a few people on the forum post any political views, and of them, the prevailing viewpoint was one of questioning charities. Manifestly, that suspicion does not dictate one's overall political opinion or leaning.
  23. 1949threepence
    One person said that. Let me remind you what you said:- Which is patent nonsense, and a nasty, unwarranted thing to say about fellow forum members, many of whom you've never even seen post..
  24. 1949threepence
    I'm not having any difficulty with following anything, Larry. You didn't say just right of centre, you said "leaning far to the right of centre". I think you should explain what you mean by that. You said it, and clearly aimed it in a derogatory manner at posters who were simply questioning the honesty of charities. Quite how that defaults them to "leaning far right of centre", I don't know. So I believe it is incumbent on you to define what you mean by that, and why you are making offensive presumptions regarding the political views of people who you don't have the remotest clue about.

    <Snipped for brevity> First quote above: Most women aren't interested in coin collecting. It's predominantly a male hobby - fact. Second quote above: The entire purpose of the forum is numismatics, so the fact that posters here are invariably happy to acquire coins, shouldn't really surprise you. Conflating coin collecting with power crazed men and the quasi dictator Mugabe, is offensive in itself. Third quote above: Define "leaning far to the right of centre".
