At one time around 1790 small change was often given by weight very few legal coins were in circulation

This time the puffy lips and the thin britannia. You would think a gram underweight was nothing , why not make it a five gram fake . Might as well be hung for a sheep and not a lamb

The rather weird shield is a real givaway - its a contemp fake

looks to have been polished off to me

I did that as well - horified to see price of kews now.......😥😥

Nothing like a kraut trying to keep his job and pension by changing his name . Victoria did the same didn't she , probably to upset her mother , they had a strange relationship those two

Was just brousing the bay the other day and I came across what seems to be a peck 821 (1721/0) , its from the same dies as the one that I have in my collection as it has a v over v in georgivs. It's not been seen by the seller just take a look its only got a day or so to run, seller has missed it due to it not being that clear . It is a rare coin though I suspect a couple of people might have spotted it anyway. Item number 332795576612 just in case anyones interested - I would grade as near fine

About £2.50 , you really will not get rich off that

Anyone know where you can get the mintages of the modern decimal IOM coins please? It does at least give you the idea of whats rare and whats not

a non existant pattern

I once did a Photoshop mock up to show how Boehme's portrait would have looked without a crown:Boehmes portrait was one of her daughters ideas Victoria was badly advised to use it by the said daughters , but when Victoria makes up her mind there is little in this world that will make here change it. Must admit it looks better without the crown

he eats raw fish , i hear. Deffo does not play for england though . Oh he's also got a strange ring obssesion

who is gollum?

Mules are stubborn but not as stubborn as humans see above for details of how stubborn humans are ! They even argue over mules

I found this recent story in the press funny

father ted rip gone too soon

who remembers this pic from a classic rock bands first movie

Just looking back on the monty pythons life of brian clip Did you know it was the ultimate insult to say a roman had a huge penis , in roman society having a "large one " was associiated with barrarians and enemies of rome . heres a picture from" the hidden room" in naples where I went last year for a city break in Naples. It would have been brought out at the end of an evenings entertainment , it depicts northern european foes of Rome , they are of course lamps .

To the best of my knowlege that tubby salford lad never made it to NASA so maybe the old buggers wiser than everyone thinks

I laughed out loud hearing katie price might go bankrupt . To think she might have too end up giving bjs and tit jobs to any old man with wads of money and false teath. I might be in with a chance, LOL , two out of three aint bad as meatloaf said .

My father told me about the israel conflict against the uk troops , apparently there were many sneaky terorist plots and bombings, they had enough in the end and just pulled out - who would have thought that from the most anti -terrorist country on this earth , being created from terrorism

The Eu was winston churchills baby wasn't it he always wanted a united states of europe to avoid another world war. The french however made sure that we never joined till after churchill was dead , so he never really saw his baby born

it is and sorry I forgot it does not have its value on it anywhere
