Stupid is as stupid does

And back to the who Still sounds great after all these years

Rewarding myself with a little lock down drink tonight , have to get the polos out for the morning.

Wow that reverse - stunning

IMO all coins benefit from not being slabbed . There are plenty more out there that think the same as well

Ps That horrible mat has gone now years ago , really nasty was'nt it

My cat has just been trained to be wary of outdoors - she knows its there but just knows it pleases me that she does'nt go there. Shes never been a stray so could not feed herself to save her life , I know she would be a great mouser but because none get in the house theres none for her to kill. A cat will always act differently if it has has been semi wild it has a different perspective on life. My cat goes in the back garden , but knows its a treat and as its well fenced off I am pretty sure she will not jump the fence and run away , she gets watched anyway .

Old photo of my cat , nearly eight years ago - shes not changed much just fatter and greadier

My cat has been kept away from birds all her life , while I am sure she really misses going out when she wants , I also feel good knowing she never kills birds , also shes not going to get run over.

Not so happy to hear rose west and gary glitter were considered more important than me

I think magpies kill quite a lot of small birds , they are very dificult to get rid of (Magpies i ment)

Just a quick reminder , this cold spell is coming to an end but please remember many small birds wrens blue tits and many others die in weather like this in mild winters so this one is seriously killing lots of them . A few little feeding stations in the garden will lead to many more birds being around in the spring .

Been booked in for my vax jab on wednesday and very pleased with the NHS for geting one of the fastest jabs anywhere in the world .

"Not taking on any paid business" Would anyone pay for such poor descriptions and rubbish service? Doubt it There again the could always avertise that they are the gradeing service that takes forgeries , cleaned and holed coins - that could be their little speciality

I always thought slabbing was about providing a grade to identify a coins value (Am I wrong)? After all they have already missidentified it so the least they could do was grade it . They seem incapable of even giving the mint mark (They did get the value right at 1 shilling) From memory tun was used from 1551-53 if my memory serves me right

I thought any decent slabing company would reject holed or cleaned coins . Is the slabbing company run by a gang of fraudsters?

As far as I know a touch piece was a gold angel - a king would be unlikely to use silver - its a curency shilling anyway. I seriously doubt its original as well it just looks "wrong" could just have been badly cleaned - but its in a plastic "Tomb" so you would have to take it out . I remember seeing a holed example on a maket stall in leek staffs , it was in GVF far superior to your and the vender only wanted a hundred for it , I was broke at the time so I passed on it but it was well worth a hundred. I hope you never paid much for it ..........Mint mark is a Tun Stress fracture points to it being genuine though

Gives marleybob hope then

It will certainly attract a premium price anyway , thats what most people are interested in

Looks like EF/GEF to me very nice for a type coin

A kilo of testicals? Thats a load of bollocks

If you expect bargain prices off heritage you will be disapointed

my cat just hates being dressed up

I remember years ago I had a friend who ran a sports shop near bury they were doing well and took on a new member of staff who had just finished school and did not know sport to much but at least she was willing . Anyway she was in here second week and a guy came upstairs and as she was the only member of staff available he came and asked her" have you got any cricket boxes?" This really confused the poor girl and she suddenly blurted out "Cricket box , do you keep your balls in it ?" Apparently the guy just went red and walked out

Not sure but lovely coin anyway - nice buy.
