    No not really. Things that have annoyed me today: Small people Children Slow people Inefficiency Stupid people The "Morgan" bag brigade (stupid girls who have morgan bags and talk about crap)

    He said he had been collecting for a "few years" so I didn't class him as beginner level, even though this is the beginner's area.
  3. Emperor Oli
    Why, though?
  4. Emperor Oli
    Ah if he's keeping them in a box, my bet's that they're crappy anyway.

    I think we need to see a picture of Chris; for too long now, I keep thinking that Dee Snider is Chris - this must be stopped, so, a request for you piccie Chris!
  6. Emperor Oli
    We've never seen a picture of Chris...this gives me an idea!

    No I just meant giving away money to worthy causes I was just wondering why they were prohibited, after all, it is their money.

    Well the legend's correct and the effigy looks kosher so i'd say it's not a forgery. Not that I can talk, I've never seen a manx farthing before!

    People who want to display the swastika have to apply to the Reichstag for permission. People who do this are historical re-enactors etc.

    Thanks for clearing thatg up, Chris. Btw, you still have that auto-message enabled from when you were away.....

    I was going to put that about how rarity means more but I didn't think people would understand - you've encapsulated it perfectly! People say "Oooh I have a 1967 Halfpenny, it must be worth a fortune cause it's 40yrs old!" Old doesn't mean valuable!

    If one had a really nice coins though, I think slabbing would be ok but I don't know many of the pros and cons (not an invitation to submit them!)

    Don't delete them, just archive them so they can be retrieved without taking up space on the site

    Well you have to pay someone to grade it (I'd want two grades - both american and english for accuracy), the materials to slab it, the slabbing itself etc. I think it's about £15 but I could be wrong
  16. Emperor Oli
    Duh not just for one coin, you can attach scans of your many other supposedly "lustrous" coins plus it's useful for scanning documents etc.
  17. Emperor Oli
    It doesn't matter about age, it matters about rarity. This is an unrecorded, possibly unique coin. as such it is worth the money set by the seller
  18. Emperor Oli
    Tis a bit O.T.T, will!

    Comandeer a friend's or buy one; they are fairly cheap and useful
  20. Emperor Oli
    As it's a rare error, of course £350 is right.

    No, slabbing wouldn't get that kind of toning. I've contemplated slabbing my better coins but decided against it, purely because of cost.
  22. Emperor Oli
    Try scanning, these coins sound excellent if the coins are the way you described them!
  23. Emperor Oli
    I'm not saying it's a bad coin, as implied by your post, I'm simply saying I could think of a better way to spend £300+!
  24. Emperor Oli
    The guy seems to know ewhat he's talking about plus it isn't recorded in any of my books. It's far too much for a George VI crown though imho!

    The Queen Anne one is quite nice (the one with least rainbow!) and that toning brings it out perfectly however once the rainbow effect comes in it's revolting
