Not that, then..........

I did have the words Ro*al M*il in there, properly spelt. We'll see if it accepts this.

I tried to post something today but all I got repeatedly was: 403 ERROR Sorry but the page you have requested has encountered the following error: Forbidden Please feel free to browse the rest of my website You may also use the "Search" feature to find the product you are looking for I apologise for the inconvenience. What does this mean ?

It may look that way because of the different number of border teeth on the 2 reverses.

Actually, looking at the 2 reverses, there is a greater difference in the waves, which are engraved completely differently on the two varieties.

Am I missing something ? I can't see any difference in the rock between 1909 rev D, 1909 F169 rev E and 1910 rev E 1909 F168 rev D 1909 F169 rev E 1910 rev E

In geek-like fashion I had recreated the article in Word, even including the 2 photos and decided to insert the word "nevertheless" after "specimen" - so we're on the same wavelength (is that a good thing ???)

The sentence below the photograph seems to end abruptly after the words "but a specimen"..... Is that how it was printed or is it a fold in the paper ?

Do you mean suck seed ?

1903 penny

Any pictures of a 1903 florin anyone ?

Presumably they will ban you if use the phrase "frog in my throat" ?

What on earth is this world coming to..................

I'm posting the following images for Gary: Obv 7 Rev C#

I can't get at those scans......

A bargain !

I still maintain that one can't tell whether a coin has been "cleaned" or not from a photograph. Photos can differ dramatically according to the technology and lighting that are used to take them. None of the coins pictured above look particularly different from many other of the London Coins photos. There will never be a substitute for examining the coin in hand. If in doubt before buying or bidding, check that you can return the coin if not satisfied.

I bought the F79 in this week's DNW sale. It's virtually BU.

Que ?

The 1869 penny was described as "wiped" in the catalogue. What exactly does this mean ???? I can "wipe" my brow or I can "wipe" all trace of something. Another ambiguous term.
