    Would not forgery of these pieces result in the rarther drastic sentence of death, or was the very common death sentence becoming rarer as Farmer George entered his final years?

    I just love the victorian medals bagerap they are truely stunning and show the uk really had some stunning artists/ engravers- the golden age of coins dare i say. Few would argue against

    Have you ever thought they might be having a day off? Surely after a couple of attempts it is clear you should try another time! It really does cost to have a phone manned 8 or so hours a day

    Incidentally my brother has met jon anderson a few times and every time he said the guy appeared to be tottally out of his tree , admitiedly it was straight after a yes concert , he says he wanders round hugging and shaking hands saying peace and love crap and not really responding to any questions . I bet hes been the same for fourty years now. yes are the band that has made the least over the years from cover versions!!!!

    Tis true a good album , i saw nearly every song on it done live at gnebworth , not as interesting as wind and wuthering but at least it was not total pop pap

    sale is far too posh for such a slapper
  10. copper123
    Radcliffe greater manchester not sale i am afraid

    Wind and wuthering, genesis, a band at the peak of creativity and not a bad track on it with many tracks anyone would die to have written
  12. copper123
    yes (the band) albums were pretty arty but they slowly went downhill after the yes album anyways as regards the music , or maybe it just got too complicated for my small brain.

    I once heard about a girl who has her thrupennies tattooed one had "mild" and the other "bitter" round the nips - she had a bit of a reputation if you know what i mean
  17. copper123
    yes and Ann Robinson accused him of killing shep - the evil bitch. And it was purvis I think all the pervs were on top of the pops after legs and co - or maybe something a bit younger

    I see a much superior mule farthing has appeared for sale on ebay at the same price as the platt coin .Strange thing is even though it is considerably nicer it has less than six watchers and the platt coin had around 24 at the last time i looked. How can this be the guy has no reputation at all, except for selling overpriced, cleaned rubbish. You coin collectors are a strange lot. Or maybe it is being watched by you lot on here looking for shilliing evidence

    Who would clean a proof set ? there were some right numpties around in the past wern't there ! Country cottage interiors ?- more Like cunrtycottagecleanedcoins
  22. copper123
    I see the mule farthing has decreased in price , at this rate it should fetch the £150 or so it is worth by the time christmas comes along

    you are of course very, very right many many more wreath crowns got wear from being pocket pieces than through circulation. Have you though that they maybe were kept for a time and then passed on (spent) and the next person that got hold of it maybe used it as a pocket piece as well after being showed it as a curio by a shopkeeper
  24. copper123
    But surely a sixty year old sweet shop owner in say 1930 would remember well that a crown was the size of a wreath crown and also be well versed in recognising a coin that is made of 50% silver and not made for use overseas. I have seen many many 1935 and 1937 crowns with lots of circulation wear

    Or even a broke adult - remember this country has always gone boom - bust forget what gordon brown said about abolishing it - it still happens
