    Today I've started a report on a client's investment portfolio but the majority of the bugger's (yes I can use that word - read the Daily Mail today!) companies have changed their names about 5 times so I've got to trawl through the CGT Service book and if that doesn't work I just leave them alone!

    Aha Mr. Latin is here! It means "Clearly but cautiously" and was on the coins of Osterwitz. Geoff nearly got it - Well done!
  3. Emperor Oli
    Because they're fools duh

    That's what we're trying to establish in the other forum if you'd care to take a look

    Nice condition!

    Ok I don't have my Spinks book with me (as I'm at W.E) but off the top of my head I'd say top-right is a George IV Penny and the bottom is a Half-Crown. I can't make out the top one because I've got this anti-glare thing on my screen and it dims everything.

    Oh yeah just change in my trouser pockets

    Maybe they think one would wear them out from handling so many coins

    Ok here's a rundown of what I do/have done so far: 1) Get in at 8:30 and write up share reports and prices for the Telegraph 2) I read the FT for 45 minutes 3) I then get assigned a task; first day it was filing, then yesterday I did ISA customer details and today I bought and sold stock 4) Then at 4:25 I send out the post and Direct Exchange letters Thrilling stuff!

    Well if we're really going hell-for-leather I'd say the 1933 Double Eagle

    During this week and all of the next one, I am at work experience at a Stockbroker's in Blackburn. It is quite fun but there are some boring bits so I come and post on here!

    Haven't we all!?

    Oooh look at the mistakes on this! Fool on Ebay Title says VF but in descrition it says EF?! The picture is that of a silver proof not the one being sold But wait, you get a free 50p so that makes it all worthwhile

    They should keep their mitts orf! I want a pair of white gloves for mine but when I saw them on a site (this one??) you could only buy them in lots of 5 pairs or something

    Yes I read that on the Royal Mint website (in the foundations of cathedrals I think). I think seven (?) were minted but a while ago one or two were stolen so some lucky devil has one or two in their collection!
  16. Emperor Oli
    Correct and here's the page

    A zillion. It's on Spinks a la moment for £35,000
  18. Emperor Oli
    Queen Anne Five Guineas "VIGO" SECVNDO variety - £45,000. Something more down to earth (not much!) a 1933 penny.

    Talking of threepences.....
  20. Emperor Oli
    I've just completed my collection from 1936 (All BU) at a fair cost so I shall assess my fiscal position shortly to see whether my cavernous vaults can afford such items
  21. Emperor Oli
    I'd like lots of filters (age condition etc), the ability to upload pics onto it, store info on it, update accurate BRITISH prices from the web.
  22. Emperor Oli
    Is he still a friend??
  23. Emperor Oli
    I've got both of those too
  24. Emperor Oli
    Biblical times
  25. Emperor Oli
    Darn it, Chris! I already have one (to my recollection I bought it from you) but never mind - this shows useful a thread like this can be!
