You're probably right Chris, though it's the typography I find most disturbing.

I know nothing of your wife's poetry but if you're going to self publish maybe spending a few quid with a graphic designer would have been a good idea? I doubt that image would scrape a pass for a 4th form art project. And before you all start whinging, I have 35 years experience in publishing so I know what I'm talking about.

Just now reading in the 'More Pennies' thread about the B over R 1862 penny which sold on eBay recently and it being only the eight known example it occurred I'd not shared this here. A 1694 halfpenny with the MVRIA error in the obverse legend. Before now both Rob and myself had believed there to be only three in existence. Mine makes four. Extremely rare, and to give this some context; there are now six 1695 DEI GRATIA halfpennies recorded.

It does Ian. I'm pleased to own it. Oh, by the way, eighth, not eight. Apologies. -

What if a supernova made all women on Earth infertile?
Michael-Roo replied to blakeyboy's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
I like that Richard, it reads very 1950s sci-fi pulp fiction. I'd make a weeny editorial change your synopsis to include more than just the one all-loving deity which inhabitants of the newly discovered planet have, for millennia, slaughtered each other in arguments over the non-provable existence of. Oh, and, in our house, the idea another living, sentient, creature should need to die simply for us to be fed was long ago dismissed as bol**cks. -

Coin aquisition of the week.......
Michael-Roo replied to basecamp's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
When I was buying most you'd get four or five sovs for a grand and, as I said, aUnc-Unc old coins would be included. Now a grand won't buy you three and choice collectable coins will not feature. However, check out the five to ten year graphs, you'll still get a better return than you would from any savings account. I see the ten year interest for gold currently stands at 47.66% and fifteen years a whopping 342.79%. -
Coin aquisition of the week.......
Michael-Roo replied to basecamp's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
A fair assumption though I suppose as I did put aside a particularly nice one from my birth year. I've bought lots of bullion coins over the years and, back before it became the popular form of saving it is now, you'd often get aUnc-Unc coins included in the batch. I always separated these out and keep them stored individually. Ten or so years ago Vickies and Eddies, which are now sold at a premium in VF+ condition, would be included in aUnc-Unc with any group of sovs sold as bullion. -

Very interesting Chris. Is there even more 'enhancing'? -

Hang on a cotton-pickin'-minute.... In good faith I bought a coin I believed to be a proof, struck in silver, with an attractive blue toning. What's this brown jobby you've sent me? Joking aside; I'm gobsmacked. You're absolutely right Mike. -

That fake ceiling was criminal. Well done sir, and a lovely reclaimed space. It reminds me very much of the Barnston women's institute hall which is around the corner from us and where you'll find a plaque informing you it was the venue at which the Beatles appeared for the first time in the suits Brian Epstein had bought them. Yeah, yeah, yeah..... -
Absolutely.

What a shame.

Why is Rishi Sunak held responsible for his wife's tax affairs?
Michael-Roo replied to 1949threepence's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Ah, I see you've deleted 'getting on with important things like genocide' and have replaced it with 'get on with the important things like supporting Ukraine'. The question remains: what does one have to do with the other? -

Michael-Roo replied to 1949threepence's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
How can you conflate the two issues? Or do you mean you have information about a genocide Johnson and Sunak are planning which the rest of us are yet to be made aware of? -
