  1. oh matron!
  2. It never fails to amuse me how stupid the general public are
  3. How about that scouser that created a new curency with fag papers
  4. look like a die crack to me as well
  5. And what about Mrs Sloecomes pussy that was more famous in the seventies than keneth william's Oh, matron.
  6. I'm sure paddington smells of marmalade sandwiches and not fish , he does come from peru of course
  7. Looks like the queens "We are not amused " portrait , no wonder it was rejected. I quite like the reverse
  8. Of course if the world goes on as things have gone on over the last 500 years there will be an infinate ammount of art produced so its a fact the human race will have more and more art as painters etc and born live and die , in fact everyone will drown in works of art while coins just become rarer and rarer year on year . "Funny old world ain't it" (these are the last words of a guy in north wales as he bought a packet of paracetamol and a pint of whiskey and went on to commit suicide.
  9. Cook for 2 hours until rainbow coloured Unless your not american , then one hour is enough
  10. Can I be first to wish our national team the best of luck in the forthcoming world cup - they really will need it!
  11. I would love to see a gazza coin , it might be more at home at the bottom of a pint glass
  12. I can see a nasty mark on the obverse
  13. Coins at this time were not really collected as momentos , this really took off in victorian times and after (thats why 1901 and 1902 coins are so common) A shilling would have been worth a couple of days pay at the time so only the rich would have kept one as a keepsake, remember the georges (germans)were never really that popular with the public till george the third at least . It might have been hoarded more for its intrinsic silver value there was a lot of this esp about 1790-1815 when the recoinage produced lighter coins
  14. if trump and kim had sex this would be the result? Looks like little britain gone mad
  15. I picked a set up the other day at a flea market of £3 , totally mint grade would sell on ebay for £15 On the other hand between 1953 and 1962 or so many sets were broken up to spend as the set retailed for only a small premium over face the only 1953 pennies in circulation came from these sets I believe , everything else was issed as per circulation.
  16. Unlikely thinks will change as decimals are getting lots of publicity at the moment
  17. these william pennies are notoriously hard to find in nice grade. most have to make do with a near vf or worse coin
  18. Yes the plastic set coins are more common
  19. Is one out of the plastic set and the other current circulateing coin ? Number 1 looks lightly struck more than most , plastic set?
  20. Reverse looks close to EF never seen one anywhere near that good
  21. I actually saw this tour in Sheffield about 1996-97 now if I remember rightly , I saw brian tour about three times as a solo artist , he used to do a two hour set and I used to enjoy seeing brian on his guitar . I have seen the new queen but not with the new singer though after seeing them on ther new years specials its clear i have missed out I am pretty sure this tour was about the time they started retailing these picks , I remember seeing them for sale for around a tenner 2006? Maybe. there are probably different ones for different tours , at a guess yours is the rarest
