    They charge a fortune for putting it in a "plastic tomb" and cannot be bothered putting even the most basic info on the coin - they miss off the moneyer

    Maybe a obverse die that was due to be scraped wasn't and was accidentally used again by mistake - my idea of what happened
  12. copper123

    Cracking Queen

    I suspect it happened because of the "dent" rose obverse 20p die was twined with the wrong reverse. Easy mistake to make i would emagin when you have two different obverses and two different reverses in one year

    I have had several of these mules and also had the pleasure of examining them close up (well before all the hype in the newspapers etc started),and ALL have had the defective obverse die which really should have been scraped by the royal mint . I would conclude therefore that only ONE pair of dies was used to make the mules ( though i could be wrong i surpose) Also the coins show a marked obverse and a few look in worse state than others . I would expect that the coin dies were twined up for at least a month before the mistake was noticed , pos even longer
  14. Yes georges head was too big and caused the ghosting - it was put right with the slightly smaller portrait and its also in less high relief

    Stranger Than Strange

    A man with a cow slurry fetish has been jailed for five years after threatening to kill a family who tried to stop him targeting their farm. David Truscott, 44, repeatedly rolled around naked in cow slurry and developed an obsession with a farm in Redruth, Cornwall. Exeter Crown Court heard that Truscott, formerly of Camborne, Cornwall, targeted the property for eight years. Last year he admitted making threats to kill and also damage property. Calf killed The court heard that he initially removed cow pats from the farm but his behaviour escalated, with Truscott regularly entering the farm to perform a sex act in slurry. The court was told he then decided to exact revenge on the owners when they erected bollards and removed slurry from their farm in a bid to deter him. Truscott, who was jailed in 2005, 2009 and 2011 for his actions at the property, repeatedly set fire to their shed, tractor, enclosures and hay - killing a calf in one blaze. On Friday he was handed an extended sentence of 10 years following psychiatric reports. Judge Philip Wassall said Truscott, who has autism spectrum disorder, would spend the first five years of his prison sentence receiving hospital treatment. He will serve an extended licence period of five years on release from prison. The judge also imposed an extended restraining order to keep him away from the farm.

    Swedish police hunting man who loves bikes a bit too much by John Stevenson June 25, 2013 Man filmed having sex with a bike YouTube.png Related stories Volvo to trial driverless cars on open roads within three years Swedish 'test cyclists' get free bikes in return for driving less Swedish company unveils airbag cycle helmet (+ video) Anyone done/doing Vätternrundan in Sweden in June? Hiring race bike in Stockholm? Tags sex Sweden Annoyed at someone interfering with his bike, a Swedish man has caught a bizarre bike fetishist red-handed. Per Edstrom got fed up that someone kept puncturing his tyres and set up a CCTV camera to try and catch the culprit. What he got was footage of a hooded man holding a piece of paper, getting intimate with the bike. The miscreant stands over the rear wheel of the bike, punctures the tyre and then masturbates as it deflates. Police in Osterlund are looking for the velophile and believe there may be a link to a series of crimes in the area in 2007. A 35-year-old man was arrested back then for allegedly slashing the tyres of 20 bikes, before masturbating over their saddles. Mr Edstrom says he is willing to forgive the man, but just wants him to leave his bike alone. “I am not scared of him, just irritated over all the punctures I have had to fix,” said Edstrom. “This man is probably completely harmless, bicycles are just his thing.” The video is frankly a bit ‘ew’ for a family website, although there’s no nudity involved. If you feel you must, you can watch it on YouTube. Unusual as this story is, it’s not the first instance of human-bicycle sexual relations. Earlier this year, Danish police were seeking a man who repeatedly masturbated on a women’s saddle while her bike was parked at a train station. And lest we think this is a peculiarly Scandinavian kink, in 2007 a Scottish man was sentenced to three years’ probation after being caught having sex with his own bike.

    I kinda like the way he graduated from cow pats to slurry - a thing that some folks (like normal ones) go from say older women to younger girls. You could say he started on the hard stuff
