news on bbc tonight might just give clinton the edge, a narrow clinton win seems likely

"We are all fated to turn into our parents " Said the wise man

Am I the only person in this country that does not love two hours of x factor at the premium times on saturday and sunday nights ? Whatever happend to those period dramas and good films that were on nearly every weekend , now replaced by the sharon and simon show . Makes you bloody sick . Partner now watching this drival so I cannot watch planet earth II till its finished , grrrrrr Bah humbug

this is nice

Amazing to see its lasted 156 years in that grade - it must have had many careful owners

a nice reverse well struck dark finish

yes that is more likely , as you can see its got almost full black lustre

As we are on the subject of farthings heres one my edward collection 1909 the obverse is close to perfect

TBH that 1906 penny looks cleaned as well are you sure its near unc? Perfect example of a badly struch edwardian bronze coin Obverse of the 1888 groat lets it down big time though the reverse is great

better investment than a 1887 as well , totally yummy coin - dont spoil it with a slab!

The unfortunate thing about these mint darkened farthings esp the war ones,is they can be badly struck and the part of the coin that is usualy badly struck is britannias head this often leaves many collectors with the wrong impresion as regards grade . A coin can be unc or near to and end up looking less than EF grade with a badly struck head . TBH these coins are a bit of a nightmare to grade anyway . The best thing you (the collector) can do is just get a coin that pleases you and stick with it , in the end very little else matters. If you like a coin you can bet your bottom dollar another person will as well, so although common it should have a resale value .

seriously scary

Edward VIII proof count as silver - there were very few of them issued

Fenton fenton LOL OFF WITH HIS HEAD

"There is some lovely venison down south already" Yeer but it pays a fortune to live down there so in the end it ends up topping itself by running into a car or something

Tatton park venison is lovely . Why should we send you decent venison down south? We only send you the tough,old and fatty bits and leave the best bits for ourselves

I was on a short break in the lake district and happened to listen while a guy showing us how to work the new payment machine for the trip across windamere( by car) explained to a load of tourists that there was a 50p coin in circulation with kew gardens on the front worth £50 with only a few thousand put into circulation . I did put my ore in and explained that I had found at least ten over the years , he looked at me a bit strange like I never knew anything about the subject so I decided to keep quiet . This coin along with the undated 20p now seems to have entered a magic land of urban legends where anyone in the country can list a number of facts available that are totally not true . Thanks to the mail etc LOL

that make me feel better as i spent about 10 ak47's

Hey there scott there are deer in philips park near whitefield , its got extensive grounds and theres quite a bit of countrysibe around kersley wher they can wonder round as well

Yes I cannot belive that the guy with the AK47 five pound note is upset that he has not been sent his £80 000 via paypal . I always thought this country was full of idiots but he really takes the biscuit

sorry but thats me as well , the thrill of the chase is everything

YEER your idea of entertainment is a flash at pennington

well not really wild in manchester - its at dunham massey, an enclosed park - I do know the odd one or two goes missing but not at this time of the year -its the rut - they have other things on their mind besides escapeing at the moment.
