No Date 20P Worth a buy?

After the press induced frenzy, the price of these has crept inexorably south. I bought one on commission before Christmas for £35.00, which is probably just a shade too high. -
I've just seen a new seller on fleabay (12 feedbacks) with a good number of Victorian pennies. Not only cleaned, but polished to a mirror shine.

A sort of ancient form of bar code! Hence the price being described, even in relatively modern times, as 'on the nail.' Outside the Corn Market in Bristol there were until at least the 70s a series of ancient flat topped iron bollards, known as Nails. Supposedly these acted as De Facto desks for the corn dealers and all monetary tranactions took place there. Be nice if it could be proven.

I recently had something called an Archive Bomb. This is essentially a zip-file that opens and reopens itself until it has occupied all your disc space. Somehow it also managed to destroy my external hard drive, so they're not always inviolable.
