  1. No it doesn't. Omnicoin is specifically geared towards recording coins along with the community functions it offers. There is A LOT you cannot do in Omnicoin that you have the function for in Wordpress. Personally I don't like the basicness of the layout and general 90's style visuals that you get with Omnicoin, but that's preference of course
  2. Sign up at wordpress.com, it's pretty straight forward to get started once you're in and I find that googling anything you're unsure about goes a long way. Uploading pictures is easy and you can choose sizes and quality etc. They also archive the pictures so you only need to upload them once as well. Best of all it's free and you can look at your coins where ever you want, as long as you've got an internet connection!
  3. If it's the same email every time, just create a rule to delete or move any emails from that address, then you wont even know it's been received. Depends what email client you're using..
  4. I've a similar setup to Steve's but I just been using wordpress. It's free and you can edit what ever you want, where ever you want! www.mypennycollection.wordpress.com It's technically a blogsite but you can edit the timestamps on the posts to fit them where you want, and because it's wordpress there's a plethora of help out there if you get stuck..
  5. Sorry to go back a few posts but loving the die clash in that penny PWA
  6. I think he's used what he wanted to use, albeit a strange description haha. He has written.. "The modified coin has been engraved with some enigmatic floral scrolling with some decidedly erotic figurative shapes." Maybe he can see something we can't...
  7. He did say VF - AEF, not exactly very optimistic if you're saying it's VF.
  8. From the Colin Cooke website; (sorry but i can't copy and paste text)
  9. Welcome Fluke! The forum is excellent, it's certainly the most helpful and you'll struggle to find a question that one of the guys/gals on here can't answer! Look forward to some pictures of your coins
  10. Ouch. A nice cut out though!
  11. Certainly a nice coin PWA, on both sides that is.
  12. Interesting, thanks both. Had a quick flick back through some threads and I can see one that was an 1919kn penny with quite a big rotation on the axis, so I guess it wasn't just the London bods that had this issue.. It also ties in with what you said Jac about the mid George V pennies. I have a couple of QEII pennies with a slight rotation but it just seems like more of a slip when struck if anything.
  13. Thanks Jac, do you know if these are spread throughout the reigns or are they confined to the 20th Century? It's a nice little error to have an example of
  14. How common is it to have a penny with a different rotation on obv. and rev.? I've not seen many but then again I don't actively look for them, but I just picked up this one and the obverse has been rotated around 15-20 degrees compared to the reverse...
  15. Very interesting, however from my computer it looks like someone has ground the numerals off. I can see striations under the exergue line. I'm also interested as to what the lines are that seem to be in relief on the obv. and the rev. if you know what they are? I've never seen a genuine example though so I think your guesstimate is about right Jacinbox, if not more to be honest.Here's my example, from another collector on here, however the discoloration is a sign of tampering we think...
  16. Is that a pro or a con for you VS? Bad pictures will put you off even bidding in the first place, and a coin that's not as great in hand is such a let down, especially when you bid accordingly..
  17. Here's a side by side of Bob's second example and mine. The loop looks to be in the same place, and the upright bar of F seems to be a little wider on Bob's example, which would be consistent with part of the upright bar in P being slightly visable and then the F wearing down to blend into the P, hence the bigger bar.
  18. When compared to the first real example by Bob, it does seem like a smaller 'P' loop on mine, but against his second example the loops like identical in size, the serifs on the F go slightly past the P loop. But it's more concerning that there aren't any F over P examples with this die combintation. I spoke to a dealer for a second 'in hand' opinion and he believes it's dirt, after playing around with it for a while. But it's just so perfectly aligned and the dirt elsewhere doesn't give the same effect on the coin, especially as I can feel the bump where the P should be. Not sure what can be done to be 100% certain, maybe this is the first 5+E F over P example to surface...someone had to find the first in the other die combos.. Thanks all for the help as always.
  19. Thanks BCC, so is there no known F over P for this die combination then? So... what's under that F???
  20. He does sign off with.. "The world is full of retards. Beware!" He did warn you..
  21. Thanks for the comments I'm getting closer haha! Here's the obverse.. I still wonder though, if you say it's rev. E and there's no example on that reverse..
  22. Thanks Bob, great example as well. So I can certaintly see the upright bar of the underlying P in both pictures, and an even closer picture looks OK as well- I still have doubts though
  23. Hear hear, and I reckon your latter assumption is correct, he probably has one he wants to put up for sale soon..
  24. Hi gents, Need some second opinions if possible please! I have this 1861 halfpenny which I think could be an F over P but just want a little clarification if anyone can help.. I've run a nib between the gaps in the bars of the F and I can feel a bump, but unfortunately these varieties are easier to spot when they wear flat. Any help is appreciated as always Nordle
