  1. Why would they list it as cleaned if it wasn't ,does not make any sense if they have .

    Mind you slabbing companies often surprise from what I have seen on these forums

  2. POLICE are hunting a prolific Birmingham burglar who went on the run after winning bail because his girlfriend had just had their baby.

    Joseph Moore, 23, was allowed home each day during a two-week trial at Warwick Crown Court on compassionate grounds.

    But the burglar, from Stechford, failed to turn up for sentencing and was jailed for nine years in his absence.

    Police are now trying to track down Moore, who went missing on the day the jury returned with a guilty verdict.

    He and co-defendant James Maxwell, 27, were jailed for nine years after being found guilty of conspiracy to steal and burglary offences.

    The pair committed a string of burglaries across the region. The court heard they were so prolific that they were stealing from three homes every single day at the end of last year. The pair were caught when an off-duty police officer spotted them in Charingworth Road, Solihull, driving an Audi estate bearing different front and rear number plates.

    Ironically, police started investigating the pair after a break-in at a lock-up linked to both men in December.

    The industrial unit had traces of a cannabis factory, a stolen Audi S4 Quattro, jewellery, passports and numerous false number plates.

  3. Ahh thanks for that it explains why its only slightly smaller than the halfgroat I bought the weight would have been another big giveaway.

    Overall very pleased with it though , thanks for the id info very useful.

  5. Thieves stole a £2.8m solid gold toilet from Blenheim Palace in an "audacious raid" which took just five minutes, a court has heard.

    The toilet was plumbed in and fully functioning as part of an art exhibition at the Oxfordshire stately home in September 2019.

    Michael Jones, 39, from Divinity Road, Oxford denies a charge of burglary. Frederick Sines, 36, also known as Frederick Doe, from Windsor, and 41-year-old Bora Guccuk, from west London, have pleaded not guilty to conspiring to transfer criminal property.

    Their trial at Oxford Crown Court was told the toilet was most likely broken up and was never recovered.

    police said they had nothing to go on

  6. This would occur on george V silver wouldn't it, it's an absolute nightmare for grading, I suppose with only a couple of points between them the graders have not really done a bad job really few coin series have as many problems as the one shown

  7. Wow some lovely coins there seldom seen like that and the 1897 set is a lot rarer than many think esp in top grade - some lovely lauers in there
