Excellent, sorry should have said Bombardier but my eye-sights no where near good enough to have got the shoulder titles and wound stripe. Get all the details together as soon as you can it's very important. I was lucky enough to be able to talk to my Grand-dad about his service in the second World War although sadly he was completely paralysed with a stroke just before we go to the end.

If it helps, and I'm sure you know but the image shows he was a full Corporal in the Royal Artillery and he had been fighting for three years when it was taken or in total if the War had ended at that point.

I did own an Ides of March, Brutus Denarius for a while. Totally genuine with provenance but now long sold.

We've got a road nearby that's a 14mph limit. I believe it's done to make it more necessary to look at your actual speedo

That said I must have 30 or so George III fakes that I simply cannot list. If I get them through the original listing process someone always reports me. A bit annoying really considering that these can be quite desirable.

Anyone had any luck with replacing these with something which fits snugly in the original case. They were very thin wobbly plastic which sometimes stained a gold colour which looked terrible. (Mainly Isle of Man Silver Crowns) Luv from Dave

Thanks guys. I do regularly consign but this is something extremely special so just wanted to hear if there were any horror stories with either of the two.

Any recommendations, it's a five figure coin and I've narrowed it down to Sovereign Rarities or DNW. Sorry but can't give any more detail. Not looking for other suggestions just which one would you go for out of the two. Luv Dave

Really sorry if this is a stupid question but which UK based slabbing company is the one to deal with (Assuming there are more than one). I've shied away from all things slabbed and purposely know nothing about it however, needs must when the devil farts in your general direction. Thanks and luv from Dave

Nice photo but I'm afraid it's a Kestrel

It was Chester Thompson when I saw them, him and Phil Collins doing the double on the Brazilian - brilliant!

you might be right although I don't recall it being that secure, I'm sure I popped to the shops when Paul young was on (support) and also a well known local ex dJ who doesn't deserve a mention jogged right through the crowd doing a "charity" mission or something Other than that a brilliant concert but if I went now with just my wife it would cost more than our first car!

Saw them at Roundhay in 1986, I'm not exactly certain but I think the ticket was around £7.50? We have been looking at E.L.O tickets recently and they're over £200.00 each - they can stick that, absolutely obscene!

I had a lot of luck with the original Explorer (XS?) moving onto the Explorer II when it first came out about 2003. We used to test it on cut quarters and it was the only machine that never missed.

Has anyone had any experience with coin sorters/counters for use with pre decimal and foreign. Obviously the ones off the shelf are designed for circulating British currency but are there any whereby you can alter the diameters to sort for example a bulk lot of Shillings, Florins & halfcrowns. Following on from there something which will sort foreign in the same way. I know you're never going to get it by country but lumping coins of the same diameter together would save me hours by itself. Lots of luv Dave

Typical ebay seller my arse - don't lump us all together, some of us have made a living from it for 20 years so we must be doing something right. I mean responsible, no hype, correctly graded and identified original coins etc. There are a few of us that do just that and to compare us to this bloke is a fcking insult

Got a Denarius ca 2nd century as I recall in change in place of a small 5p ca 2010 - sadly it was a fake. Luv Dave

That's how I got started with coins. A friends father was a gas man and he found a Victorian copper Farthing in good very fine condition in a meter whilst emptying it. Can't remember the date though but a nice present in 1973 to a four year old.

That's pretty much identical to my experience with her. Not 100% sure but I think I sold her the original coin in this thread Luv From Dave

I deleted my original post as it was obvious I was over reacting.

can't be bothered

Don't forget chemical/acid testing is no-where near a reliable system. Plating, previous harsh cleaning, contamination, measurements or even a few specks of crap will skew the results.

Not coin related but anyone else notice the similarities with a Mr Christie of Rillington Place? He kept some things in a wallpapered off alcove.

Blimey, wasn't the college up Woolston way, used to drive past it regularly. By 96 I was a burned out homeowner but I had a good ten year run with those two clubs and others - did you ever see the rabbit on the roof of the Postern Gate or am I going back too far.
