  1. 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.
  2. FDC = Fleur de coin. It's the best one can get - never been touched by human hands I think, but I could be wrong.
  3. Somebody probably broke up a set. Some tosser on Ebay was breaking up an 1826 or 1887 proof set the other week - scandalous.
  4. Ah looking at the stats that would figure
  5. They're unofficial anyway so nobody would care if you broke a few, it's just spamming and post-whoring I can't stand.
  6. How ironic! Not only is it not a rare issue, it has one of the largest mintage figures in recent years!
  7. It was ok but I drove it slowly as I wasn't paying for repairs! I've also "taken the wheel" in car parks and swerved round the concrete pillars which is fun, if you ever get the chance to do it.
  8. There is nothing to admit, as I meant it to be a rumour. I thought basic logic would have seen to that but obviously not.
  9. Yes but you said rumour, which that was
  10. I've driven a Porsche Boxter once but not a Ferrari. Twas on a private estate...
  11. Cough 1982 Twopence cough cough
  12. Maybe his family have a long history with old Kaiser Bill and named him in honour, like that mad Iraqi woman who named her child George Bush. She said if she had another, it would be called Tony Blair
  13. Ditto, perhaps the profiles could be altered to allow for an actual portrait as well as an avatar.
  14. You are mistaken, it's the German cognate of William, not Oriental.
  15. I thought so. If I was you, I would have said it was sarcasm to embarass me, but both works!
  16. On the modern ones, there are little peg things I think which fit in holes. These can be prised off if you find a rut in the side but I don't know if the older ones are like that. Did you just buy it for the bronze? It would have been cleverer to buy the coins individually as nobody will want a broken up 1970 proof set.
  17. Hmm I doubt that pointing out a whole gender change is nitpicking. Plus many companies class 15-yrs olds as adults. And I find that walking behind small people is annoying, so if you are small and I was walking behind you I would find you annoying.
  18. I don't know, I couldn't think of a female equivalent of William so I translated in into German (Wilhelm) and changed the gender to..........Wilhelmina! I wish I had cool fangs like Dracula (I'm getting some veneers soon so it's kinda like it!)
  19. Wow, that is rare! Is it your most cherished coin?
  20. Yes, Chris, always bow to peer pressure!
  21. Hold you tongue, rogue, if you'd cared to pay attention, you would have seen I was in fact referring to 11yr old GIRLS, not boys - or is there something you're not telling us Wilhelmina?
  22. I have an old Irish penny mounted in marble that goes with me where I go!
