Nautilus? What nonsense! Can't you see it's an email address? mag.bri@caro.d.g

He's leaving Friday

Oh No.

Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Hello Debbie!

Ah, there's a massive difference between ONF - which is its own variety - and an 1882 "no H" penny : there's the clogged die "no H", and there's the "removed H", and there's the genuine London Mint 1882, and collectors are really only interested in the latter which is truly rare. A clogged die, especially if worn, could just as easily be a "removed H".

No, it's not a spelling error. It's just a weakly struck R and therefore not very interesting or significant. People may find it very interesting whether it's significant or not. We will all be at different stages of collecting and what may seem completely pointless to someone may be a great starting point for someone else. It may well be a weakly stuck R but it certainly looks like a P. I certainly didn't mean to sound dismissive. It's just that often we get people whose hopes have been raised elsewhere and think they have a great and valuable rarity - it isn't fun to tell them they have something pretty worthless. If the PEMEMBER coins float your boat then of course they are worth having. As long as you are realistic about their value, is all.

That worked fine. It's definitely a Q on its side, but I don't know if that's normal for the year or not.

"Most sausages shrink when you cook 'em - you got any more of those expanding kind?"

No, it's where every post in every thread is festooned in blue border aka scroll bars.

You're talking about what's at 6 o'clock? It just looks like a nasty dent on the obverse, but more like a plug in the same place on the reverse.

Warminster?

Yes, I've had that too!Phew! It's not just me then...

15p a coin - that can't be bad! Especially considering you have some Victorian-era and earlier 20thC items in there.

Also, don't rule out the forum software - whichever browser I use in my main user account, this forum and another powered by the same software, have fairly recently developed an 'attack of the scrollbars'. The annoying thing is that they are both vertical and horizontal, but only there for the tiniest amount of scroll. Widening the page makes no difference, the bars go with it. It's the same with Firefox and Chrome too, but they're not there in another user account.

You have to wait until it's either online or go to the shop in person.

Ok, how about Ilchester, Cricklade, Shaftesbury, Malmesbury and Winchcombe?

Looking closely at the 2 and what possibly underlies it, I'm wondering if it's been 'dropped in' over (perhaps) an 8. But then again, that would be far more work than removing the H ?

Email sent.

Spinks (nor Baldwins nor any of the big names) would not look at them, but London Coins might throw them in as a job lot. Having said that, yes I agree Chris should be given first refusal.

You can certainly buy a 1968 penny As long as you don't mind that it's dated 1971 and comes in a rather cheap blue plastic wallet with 4 other decimal coins...

None of the illustrated types (http://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ/pdfs/1968_BNJ_37_15.pdf) have REGINA in the legend, and the obverse bust faces right, and is not that rather ridiculous cartoon-style effigy. I think it's either a modern piece, or a jetton or gaming piece.

No, it's not a spelling error. It's just a weakly struck R and therefore not very interesting or significant.

JG Pollard ... didn't he write very good sci-fi? Or perhaps I'm mixing him up with someone else ..

Volker Pispers gets the point quite quickly. It is political cabaret, very precise, at the point and without mercy. The second video (the first part of a documentary shown in television) has english sketches in between, the third video is entirely in English. Ah, ok. I'll give them a go.

That second guy (Mittermaier?) looks like he would be very funny, unfortunately the video is in German, which I don't speak. The guy in the first film breaks the golden rule of comedy - never stop and wait for a laugh! I might watch more, but I just don't have 45 minutes spare right now
