Oh they bought a few hundred then - how many mugs do they think are out there? They might have been better off with 1967 pennies - the amount they would have to lay out would be a lot less after all The London mint keeps on going doesn't it

Headline- No claim of responsibility for suspected Abramovich poisoning I could make an educated guess

The coin has a lamination fault as well , but to be honest I would say its good fine ....

OMG what a retail price - it is a scarce coin but not worth much more than seventy pounds

Russia's army has said the first phase of its military campaign in Ukraine is over ....... I dread to think what they have planned for afters

What do you call a cross between a Jack russell and a shitzu JACKSHIT of course

I must admit the coin is a-unc but it does suffer from a few bag marks on the obverse cheek this alone would make it worth about a tenner .....

Not sure if these clowns care about any of these issues except the money they recieve for their Service

Who but an idiot would slab a 1942 florin? The slab is five times the worth of the coin There again there a many idiots that could , I surpose

EF OFF?

In a nutshell

Asda have them and sainsburys

Remember I did say it was the first time in fifteen years I had found something , checked hundreds of times and never found anything thats why I mentioned it , I would not surgest anyone took it up as a full time job.

Well someone left coins worth about six pounds in a machine and did not take them home - hardly CRIME OF THE CENTURY ,thats a supertramp album isn't it?

Reject box rejects all non current coin - say you put a usa dime in it it would pass straight through and go into the reject box as it is not legal curency in the uK same with a pre decimal penny. It is not given to charity but passes through the machine so you have the option of taking it home - if you don't and choose to leave it there then you cannot moan as you at least COULD have taken it back

The train to birmingham coin fair this weekend is normally full of dogs, (And their owners) bloody dogs dont even pay, (freeloaders).

Those coin machines in many supermarkets that turn your change into a voucher to spend in the supermarket

Somebody must have been really hard-up few forgeries of later victorian bronze are known.

Hey we all have stories about the one that got away . I must have been second in loads of ebay auctions Coin collectors love to gab on about the ones that got away , just like fishermen....

There were little clues over the last ten years or so that something like this would happen. - russian help in syria -the novichok sailsbury affair -and above all the mighty war chest they were building up and Putin making himself life president , dictator in effect. The real tragic thing is we don't seem to learn from history and are forced to repeat it over and over again. Boris another churchill ? Not sure about that , he does love a drink and a party though.......

Lovely tone as well

While all wars would be better never started the fact is that when a war comes along jokes will be made , my grandfather was a political cartoonist with a national newspaper , he in effect earned part of his wages from drawing caricatures of Hitler ,Stalin ,etc. He was gassed with mustard gas in the first world war by the way.(And I am very afraid that Putin has something a lot worse that that in store as he showed in Syria.) God help us . While you might not think anything or think a joke is in poor taste its a quite a british thing to mock an enemy look at the jokes about Hitler we still find funny like that episode of faulty towers(so loved by the germans as well, funny enough.) To laugh at something that scares us makes us somehow feel better
