    Chris is right, look for hair. The BU ones have hair on his head, very faint sideburns and a full beard.

    I'd put: Cracked Die - Sometimes, when a coin is struck with too much pressure or the die is old and worn, it starts to crack. When the coins are struck with cracked dies, their metal is forced into the cracks which makes little raised lines on the finished product. Siege Money- Siege (or obsidional) money was essentially created as a means of payment during a siege when normal sources of revenue ran out. Siege money comes in varied shapes and sizes.

    The bright lustrous one are fantastic no doubt but the blackened ones have a certain...mystique about them, wouldn't you say?

    Although not as extensive, Chris' is better because he actually uses pictures & descriptions whereas Coincraft just uses descriptions.
  9. Emperor Oli
    Ridiculously overpriced
  10. Emperor Oli
    Coincraft have quite an extensive online glossary that explains those terms too. BTW, all Edward VII farthings have a nice dark finish on them; this was to avoid confusion with half sovereigns. There's a picture below in which one can see it is very different from the others.

    "My yacht was boarded by marauding Pirates and I've been traumatised ever since"?
  12. Emperor Oli
    I'll buy some next time I purchase some farthings!

    There's also triphthongs in words like mower, iron, fiery etc!
  14. Emperor Oli
    Me neither

    Ahh I did say vigilantism, and presumptuous vigilantism at that!

    The end product looks good anyway!

    I didn't create it; a dipthong is a recognised character. A dipthong is two vowels together
  18. Emperor Oli
    That's the thing though - why three pairs??
  19. Emperor Oli
    Hehehe any other special character requests?????
  20. Emperor Oli
    Twas one of his highness' new rules set down a few weeks ago. Vigilantism I believed I called it!
  21. Emperor Oli
    One shouldn't skimp though

    Here's a dipthong for you to copy and paste when typing Æthelred's name! Æ

    Actually I've been worrying my parents, but on sites for Wedding attire, they do nice white gloves for the bridegroom etc which are nice but I don't know their buildup and they are quite expensive!
  24. Emperor Oli
    No, one must humour the elderley. Something more subtle like "I'm scared of Pirates" may do the trick!
  25. Emperor Oli
    I just hold mine between finger and thumb. I've yet to find some nice white gloves though!
