It was never going to be a straightforward separation, and I agree it will probably be a time consuming act that will direct resources elsewhere and will cost the taxpayer. It will be a good time to be a lawyer .....actually is there ever a bad time to be a lawyer?

I think it very rare for someone not to have peaks and troughs in interest with this hobby, you only have to look at a lot of the forum members who drift away and then resurface again as their interest drops and then returns again....there are only those select few who are severely addicted who are in it permanently ......and the dealers of course. The addicted members know who they are ...I won't name and shame

We were told throughout the campaign that virtually no laws were made by the EU that affected us....it should be a breeze

Are you suggesting we kill the Queen to speed things up

Given the political situation in the country, no-one in the political classes would be willing to turn back on that referendum decision unless they wanted to start civil unrest....it would lead to chaos in my opinion. As others have said there could well be another referendum but it would have to be on different terms, but I think even that will get some form of backlash......but if you can get a healthy majority behind it things would soon settle down.

They are worrying times.......someone just needs to grab the situation and drive the decision forward.....a leader is what we desperately require...the longer a vacuum remains the more risky the situation becomes.

@ChKy apologies on the partial quote, I was originally going to comment back just on the petition, but started to delete it and then got sidetracked I understand and agree that we should listen to the opinions of others, and have no problem with them airing their views, it was the fact that this particular petition website is set up purely to allow topics to be raised by the general public on specific topics that may not normally make it into parliamentary discussion. If an individual can get enough votes behind such a topic it has to be discussed by parliament. Therefore by registering a vote it is it is allowing people to have an influence on our politics who may not be entitled to do so. I agree that the situation has the potential to become hostile, but I would fight with vigour for us to have that right to choose..even if I may disagree with the outcome of any specific democratic decision...it is in my opinion a fundamental British value. To turn our back on democracy in such a way would be a more dangerous move in my opinion.

No .......those votes should not count when the petition is to get a topic discussed in our Parliament, the website clearly states that you should only register a vote if you are a British Citizen with a British postcode. I understand that other people around the globe may be affected by our decisions, but it does not give them the right to interfere with our democratic process and by stirring up such trouble they risk prolonging the uncertainty currently affecting the Nation. Whether Scotland leaves the union is a decision for Scotland, and it is for their parliament to decide whether that is something they want to do, and I would respect that decision. However I would add they were fully aware that the decision to leave the EU was a UK wide referendum and that a single vote majority would trigger a result that was binding on the whole of the UK. It was inevitable that when big business supports further globalisation, and were staunch advocates of the remain side that they would continue to drag out the doom afterwards so that they could take the "we told you so" stance. Yes the pound will devalue, and anyone who thought there was not going to be an economic backlash was quite naive. This is not a debate over what is economically in the best interests of the country nor was that the question on the ballot paper. However where I do agree with you is on the last point, our politicians should be hanging their heads in shame, when we need a decisive way forward, and for parliament to rally behind the result and drive forward the will of the Nation...they are left fighting each other again in power struggles.

Does anyone have any information for the following lot? Croydon Coin Auction 208 - September 2008, Lot 417...and if possible a realised price?

and how many were for "retaining the status quo" without thinking about anything else or the drawbacks of such a vote. We all have different priorities, and I accept what is a priority for me is likely to not be the same for others, but that is the joy of democracy you abide by the rules and get your vote which is as worthwhile as anyone else's vote.

I would be interested as well Declan if there are any left

Is that any different to those of us who have never had a say about membership until now, or dealing with a governing party who you did not vote for? If anything this should encourage the younger generation to realise that democracy actually works and that if they can get enough support for a change in the future it has the possibility of becoming a reality. It was nice to actually have a vote that counted

Welcome to the forum...you can get some nice coins from the Empire for very reasonable prices. There are also a whole host of designs to aim for. A side collection of mine was to collect farthing sized colonial coins, and it has been a slow process but it is a wide range of coin designs and metals.

Prax... I have the Norweb catalogues...lot 43 is a saxon penny...is that what you are after? I can give more info if it is

Can't think of any named farthing collection that could relate to.....I thought maybe Colin Allerton at first...but it doesn't seem to fit, it does seem to read Collection.

Dave they wouldn't get the chance unless they were in the auction room with the rest of us. A single coin would not be recordable and therefore would not go through the treasure process.

I wouldn't be selling through Spinks at the moment, they seem to have no end of technical issues when auctioning. As a result I think the prices realised would be less, unless you were auctioning something prestigious then I would be tempted just due to the name.

Of course you are in, did you try the spreadsheet version further down the post?

Just a note to say I will be closing the window for entries tomorrow at midnight so if you want a go, get your forms through to me as soon as possible

Looks like that special Celtic Unit will be getting fewer bids

Anyone else have the DNW website go down about 5 minutes ago....cant seem to get it back on.

Nothing better than a bit of a challenge.....

A great book, some great bits of information hidden away between chapters...that one had me stumped for a while

I have also attached an excel file, in case people find this easier than the PDF Excel Euro.xlsx
