By the way we could merge the forum if you want to make it easier and more active with less competition pm me on My forum I suggested that earlier

You may like to rethink some of your prices. Nobody would pay £40 for a fine 1967 half crown.

If it wasn't GCSE year, I'd jump at the chance. From now on though, the workload is going to get heavier and heavier so I don't think I could really afford the time to do it. Thanks for the offer but I'm sadly going to have to decline.

Why don't you merge your forums and both become admin?

Nah I just fancied one.

I ordered one of the new 6gb Ipod Minis in blue yesterday. Do any of you have one, what are they like? Some of my friends have them and say they're good.

Great start, Chris! I look forward to seeing the end result. Spotted a typo - first page "preceeding" only has one e.

I think you mean vulnerable; venerable means impressive due to age. Oxidation

Web-portals are the bane of my life. I don't particularly like Russians. I have never heard of any famous Russian entertainers. Russia itself seems quite backward in comparison with western Europe. These are my thoughts.

The Sun kept reflecting off all the gold and jewels so they had to be done away with for that picture. Moments later I was clad in ermine and precious metal, have no fear.

I think it's a guide to the Musee d'Orsay ACTUALLY

Perhaps I should post one of myself to dispel some myths. ...moments later: ok here I am sitting on a bridge over the Seine in Paris, with considerably shorter hair than I have now. Definitely NOT that person above.

Dear God that thing is not me!

I think steam came out of my ears then.

In average circulated condition, it will be worth around £1. If you register, you can post a picture so we can assess the grade more accurately.

Can you give us a link, we could probably grade it from the photos?

Well we can eliminate a 3 or a 5 because the alignment for George IV farthings was changed in 1826. Some crap probably just got caught up in the die.

Expect a hefty price tag...

Looks more like a filled die to me.

Looks like it's just sovereigns. But look, some fools are still mounting them.

^^ A Penny Farthing. Does this clear things up, Alex?

Well, I guess only you could answer that... There are only two basic types (one penny and two pence), although there are two main varieties of the penny (10 and 11 leaves in the laurel wreath). Maybe there are some other varieties? Don't know... So you might have a collection of three coins... which could be a bit pricey for the best quality. There are pattern (like prototypes) cartwheel style halfpennies and farthings, as well as proofs in various metals... but that would be a very expensive collection indeed! You might extend the idea to include other coins minted by Boulton at the Soho mint (first steam powered mint!)... so that could include the later halfpennies and farthings of George III, as well as some Conder tokens (some look like the cartwheels), some Isle of Man coins and a few colonial issues (also quite expensive I expect). Would you be satisfied? I remember being amazed by the ones on Colin Cooke's site - they're quite beautiful. Gilt proof farthing Silver Proof Farthing Silver halfpenny All contemporary patterns, by the way.

They are the links, it will be a private account though. Try using photobucket or imageshack.
