    Totally turns the search on its head, doesn't it! Here's another, do "I'm feeling lucky" with "anti-war peace protesters"
  2. Emperor Oli
    Erm no, those grades don't exist. Sylvester explained in another thread BVF would be GVF (Good VF) or AEF (About EF) I think
  3. Emperor Oli
    Pf no idea. It's in the back of a drawer somewhere
  4. Emperor Oli
    What's BVF and BEF? British Expeditionary Force?
  5. Emperor Oli
    Old, but still relevant I'm surprised google hasn't fixed it! Another one is "French milirat victories" Edit: God that's a bad typo, it's "French military victories"

    Well done, Chris, clever manipulation! On another note, do google "Weapons of mass destruction" and click "I'm Feeling Lucky"
  7. Emperor Oli
    Forties

    No way. Proofs have mirror-like fields, these didn't. Plus I don't think my father would fork out the necessary money to buy them!

    I hope Coincraft release another edition of their book because I would buy it to go hand-in-hand with Spink's. Coin Yearbook lists its (oft-wrong) prices by denomination too.

    No, twas a year set with half crown to farthing.

    As you know, I'm trying to complete a full 20th century (EVII-EII) date set (minus the obvious ones) in brilliant uncirculated condition. After that, I will continue to move back in time and buy older farthings. I voted other, as although my collection has a direction now, it is all a mishmash of different coins.
  12. Emperor Oli
    Right. My dad once bought me something like that in a frame, specifically to hang on a wall. I thought the coins looked odd, as the shine on them was off, and not as-struck as the frame said. So I smashed it up and lo and behold, the coins didn't have milled edges - they were very good copies!

    No, by going to University (LSE), I hope to become a stockbroker or investment banker with Goldman Sachs.
  14. Emperor Oli
    No, I want to go to University, get a job and not live on benefits.

    What area do you actually focus on MJMD? Cos you seem to buy late bronze and then forties coins - are you trying to complete a particular set or what?
  16. Emperor Oli
    Save it and buy nice things. Edward VIII and Cromwellian coins are such a lot and only the ones who can afford them should buy them. Just pick an area you like and spend it on the best examples of that (not all, though!)

    I've got a lovely 1838 Maundy threepence in uncirculated condition. It really is quite beautiful and intricate!
  18. Emperor Oli
    Yes muchas gracias, William. Was it a big bit or was it just tucked away in a corner?
  19. Emperor Oli
    They could have at least had some nice headshots taken to give it a more professional look but 35mm doesn't seem to cut it with them.

    I have a Kennedy 1/2 Dollar, 1967 I think. I got it from my grandparents, along with a casino chip from Monte Carlo and a Morgan Dollar.
  21. Emperor Oli
    Yes, my Dad's good friends with a guy who has acres of land down South and I attempted to drive it and did about a mile (kinda stop start but mostly smoothly ) but then the owner got scared and politely asked if I ould like him to finish off!
  22. Emperor Oli
    Point taken
  23. Emperor Oli
    That's a different edge inscription though
  24. Emperor Oli
    [sarcasm] Mmm with billions of people in the World, I'm sure some psycho is going to spend the time and money to track us down. [/sarcasm] You have a typo in your sig btw MJMD, it's etc for etcetera, not ect for umm ectcetera?!

    So one can transmit messages of a treasonous nature through PM? Wow how modern we are!
