secret santa

I tried to use the Contact Us facility on the new website in order to let them know of our views and discussions but, surprise surprise, that feature also doesn't work ! So they will be blissfully unaware of my views. I have now sent that message to some of the previous dnw.co.uk addresses so maybe something will get through.

I often get the same sort of results but, of course, when you include them in a Word document or on a (Wordpress) web page, you can drag them to be the same size.

Any reason why you don't crop your photos Mike ?

I worked in the development of I.T. systems all my life and to see something this poorly tested really annoys me. It may not have the importance of the Royal Mail Horizon system or an Air Traffic Control system but if they're blaming the lack of rigorous testing on tight deadlines (set by themselves) they should be ashamed. And it doesn't say much for the level of respect they show to their customers. End of rant.

The more you look through this website for particular collections/coins etc, the worse it gets. It really is appalling. I hope someone from DNW is reading this thread.

Just tried the archive function - clicking on a previous catalogue brings up............nothing. Don't they test these things before going live ?????

The DNW site was one of the best coin websites - very quick and easy to use. Excellent archive options. The new site is (currently) several steps backwards.

Their new website is a disaster. It runs like a dog, has no option to increase the number of items per page and has no option to select a sub-set of lots (e.g. pennies) from an auction preview listing. They're not doing themselves any favours.

They must have spent a fortune on this new look - it's surprising what an increase in buyer's commission can do.

Ian, can you send me photo of reverse please.

Sure does.

Didn't see it -can you supply link ?

Scientists claim to have discovered a planet with intelligent life. This planet is populated by a number of species of flora and fauna and is effectively “run” by a race of bipeds who seem to be at the highest evolutionary level. This race is incredibly arrogant, claiming to have been created in the image of the all-loving deity that many of them worship, yet appearing to only tolerate the existence of lower evolutionary species as long as they either provide entertainment as pets or curiosities, or provide food for the bipeds, for which they are bred and killed on a huge scale. The “master race” is also incredibly hypocritical in that they go to extraordinary lengths to ensure that handicapped members of their own societies can lead a full life but have no scruples in mass extermination of other members of their species whose culture and beliefs differ from theirs or whose territory is rich in products which they desire to own. Where can this planet be ?

Presumably their website name will stay the same which makes it all rather pointless.

Could we edit the title of this thread to replace "that" word please.

That's a lovely one !

Ian, Jerry and any others Could you please email me photos of your 1882 over 1's for the website.

Just heard that Boris and Rishi have received fines for breaking Covid rules so they'll presumably resign in the morning, or maybe get on with the important things like supporting Ukraine ?

But so naive - they must know that the opposition and the tabloids are continually poring over their every move, looking for headlines, like the so-called "parties" and Dominic Cummings' road trip.

Thanks Mike, now added.

Obverse C for sure

I should probably include the 2 1882H over 1 varieties on my rare penny website. Could I ask collectors to email me photos of their examples please.

Looked at Peck earlier and the of two obverses it could be, KH22 and KH23, Peck says the only difference is a flaw on the first G of GEORGIUS in KH23 - I can't seen it at all in Peck's plaster cast photograph of KH23! Perhaps other people can spot it. However, your photographs give better resolution I suspect, and I can't see any flaw on these either. I also checked Peck and couldn't find the flaw that he referred to.

Well known variety but no decisive/definitive description.

Again, not Ebay, but what a bargain ! https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/cadmore-auctions/catalogue-id-cadmor10051/lot-70763b11-b9b7-4d79-bde7-ae6700a2f6b5?utm_source=auction-alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=auction-alert&utm_content=lot-image-link
