  1. Hard to say re visibilty, but I did get bidders AND buyers from Japan, US, and Canada. Whether they were searching for UK coins on the co.uk site or not, I don't know? To be honest, I've never really worried about the visibilty thing, as I believe that anyone looking for UK coins would check the UK site, as I would check out French eBay if looking for French coins.
  2. I've just sold a batch of coins, WITHOUT the global thing, and all went as usual, with people politely requesting 'do you post to Japan,' etc. I think it worked perfectly well before...a shame eBay has complicated matters, just to further line their pockets! I'm sure they're already working out how they can become a monarch of a country, sorry, empire, in their efforts to dominate the world, sorry, universe!
  3. I have to say, I DO like the 'clean' feel of your website, sound, really sharp! Good job!
  4. What did CGS give that one? Very nice!
  5. Close! 191452716852
  6. Certainly not a HAMMERED coin! Looks to be an ugly seamed edge copy!
  7. Most of the forum members are educated enough to resist the promises of Nigel Farage I hope... You're safe there, chKy! I've very little interest in politics, and have only voted twice in my life! However, I'd queue for the rest of my life in the rain, if my vote ever counted against THAT party getting even a sniff of power!
  8. Infinitely better, I'd say!
  9. A lovely coin, but very surprised to find this a CGS AU, especially when looking at the reverse. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A-UNC-1754-Farthing-CGS-UK-graded-and-encapsulated-CGS70/151520721813?_trksid=p5411.c100167.m2940&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140131123730%26meid%3Db163a1f0eab446b8bc5452b3a4156c3b%26pid%3D100167%26prg%3D20140131123730%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D231416917447
  10. Lancasters are 4-propped planes! I was curious about the flying fighter planes, perhaps they were ME109s? They're definitely not Spitfires, but could be hurricanes at a very imaginative push?I think the sky scene are meant to represent the Luftwaffe? Not sure though? Def two spits on the ground though! They can't be fighters though, not flying in that bomber formation - unless they were trying to confuse Fighter Command! I'm proposing that the twin-engined planes are Dornier bombers, and the single-engined planes the ME109 fighter escort?
  11. Is it denomination specific, or have you found it across all coins?
  12. The tartan is only a duvet cover for the same sinister skin beneath (at least with the traditional top-end pipes)!
  13. When no one is looking, l drink it from the bottle!
  14. What's his uncertain mark?
  15. I wish, Rob! Would really enjoy your company, I'm certain! I'm convinced our paths will cross at some point soon, and I very much look forward to it! With fair warning I can stock up on a couple of nice varietal local ciders and take you up the Sharpness canal for Sunday lunch at Slimbridge or Hardwicke (new refurb going on there at the moment by a very good local businessman) to shake it all off!
  16. It's not the end of the world! Someone from the school has given me a small (2.5ltr )local 'sample' to try!
  17. I've just poured the last of my Frampton Farm Cider down the sink, I'm getting too carried away!
  18. Oh, God, do I? Feel like I'm facebooking now?
  19. Old Rosie is the best of the supermarket standard stock! I'm extremely sad to confess it blows Thatchers supermarket pop out of the water, on account of the fact I grew up with Thatchers when it was GREAT!We get lucky down here and, every now and then, get to have Old Rosie poured through a wooden tap at the back of the bar! I still prefer the home brew of the farms around here! They'll make up a thousand or so gallons a season and that's it! Around September it tastes lively and, dare I say, virginal? By February it's a very mature and unpredictable bitch of a drink, but divine! It's absolutely wonderful in its heritage, history, and creative potential. I do believe Thomas Hardy was rather fond of a hot toddy!
  20. Me too. Available in Switzerland the other day too. Always a good bet.Rhetorical question, but why do they make cars so small? Brought back 150 litres of wine and loads of sausage when visiting last August - and it's nearly all gone
  21. Yes, I do think the sky scene is that of the Luftwaffe, representing the 'so few against so many'? It would explain all the wing and engine configurations! Still an appalling bit of craftsmanship or cost-costing at the minting stage if you ask me?
  22. The general configuration is what made me initially think Dornier? http://battleofbritain.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/x003-2674-943-dornier-do17-hendon.jpg
  23. Lancasters are 4-propped planes! I was curious about the flying single-engined fighter planes, perhaps they were ME109s?
