  1. I don't mean for guests, I mean for newly signed up users, who are signed in when they post
  2. OK, here's the first question: Permissions and thresholds for edit your own posts Newbies are often a bit frustrated that they cannot edit their posts, even a minute after posting, just to correct typos etc. I believe this improves after a certain number of posts, and maybe improves still further after even more? One such newbie has just been voicing his frustration with me (privately) What is the purpose of enforcing such restrictions? Do you know what the thresholds are? Can they be eased?
  3. So you're an Admin now Matt? Stand by for some questions / enhancement requests!
  4. That's great, thanks Chris!
  5. I think Nons is coming on in leaps and bounds, he is less than a year in, and far more advanced than I was after 2+ years
  6. I think the 13, 17 and 24 also looked dipped, to one extent or another ... but it could just be the photography ...
  7. It's Roman (or Roma if you are a careless CGS grader), and must be UIN 35660, as there is only 1 in their population report:
  8. @Peter Although you may not like the slabs
  9. I would definitely NOT say UNC, GEF overall for me
  10. This is probably not the best site to ask how to stop collecting coins! For many it'a a life-long obsession, I'm 8 years in and now am only interested in higher grade, mainly English, pre-decimals
  11. Welcome to the Forum BJ (ooo-err!), there is an amazing resource of superb advice on here
  12. @brg5658 very kind of you to say so Brandon, I look forward to your pics, which I'm sure will be top notch as usual! How do you tag people like you did me in your post? I've attempted to tag you back (just by typing the @ + your user name) but I'm not sure that it has worked? @brg5658 Edit: Got it! In my 5th year of using this Forum and never knew about that!!
  13. A stab at GVF, but as Rob says, better pics required
  14. Chris (CHP) has created a Facebook Group called "Pay your court debt/fines in £20, £50 and £100 coins NOW"
  15. Very nice, was there still a 'host coin' for these, or is that a stupid question?
  16. This is mine, I would like a better grade with the host coin showing through more
  17. I would say aF for the first and GF (Obv) nVF (Rev) for the 2nd
  18. Hi Matt, it's a simple cheap desk lamp like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lloytron-L961BK-Flexi-Desk-Black/dp/B002TLC3EY/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1452511686&sr=8-7&keywords=desk+lamp The rest of the room is lit by daylight through the windows, or a ceiling lamp, it doesn't seem to make any difference. Hope that helps
  19. Welcome to the Forum Mycoins Not my area at all but AFAIK all sovereigns must contain precisely 0.235420 Troy ounces of pure gold at the time of minting, pursuant to the Coin Act of 1816. So a genuine 22ct gold sovereign should weigh 7.98g
  20. I agree Rob. Rejection reasons I find logical are: Unauthenticated (i.e. a forgery) Cleaned or dipped Tooled Artificially Toned (although the definition and identification of this may be controversial) Environmental damage Graffiti
  21. Here's a link to my coin collection pics Frank https://pwcoins.wordpress.com/
