  1. I have a 13 width. How unusual is this?
  2. Me too. £3, wins or no, is neither here nor there.
  3. 'Minor'? Ridiculous. How many confirmed examples do we now have, seven, eight? They've included the 1694 MVRIA halfpenny for many years even though, until a recent fourth came to light, only three were known. And if we're talking about early milled minor varieties, and whether or not they are deemed worthy of inclusion, just one 'off the top of my head' example of many, I'd suggest they might like to reconsider would be their 1675 farthing, no stop after CAROLVS. Again, been listed for years, and given a value, yet has anyone here ever seen one? I haven't, nor am I aware of anyone who has.
  4. Same design as the old halfpenny trial dies. I have the 1957 one.
  5. How about this for 'extra metal'.
  6. The most common.
  7. Standard 2/B, and not a proof.
  8. I've a large bag of tulip bulbs in the shed. A grand a piece to anyone who wants some.
  9. I can't imagine what their ugly coins might look like.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/72366/i.html?_ssn=coin.empire&store_name=coinempirenumismatica&_oac=1
  10. 'Ollies' were your regular marbles. The larger ones and ball bearings were 'Bullies'.
  11. Yes, I thought it a tad mushy looking too.
  12. 'Light tooling'? Whitby Goth eyeliner. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/374212849519?mkevt=1&mkpid=2&emsid=e90001.m43.l1123&plmtId=700008&mesgId=3024&mkcid=8&ch=osgood&bu=44013324433&trkId=edbf371e-b52f-493a-9f67-a641c0f92a12&cnvId=700003&recoId=374212849519&recoPos=1
  13. Is this seller a giant?.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266209500361?hash=item3dfb529cc9:g:-U8AAOSw3PtkMZKq&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwM6TE6RwVgAaqKVw%2B0RcLaDGmffNn2f88SEIiwHPfBYeGDLf9CylCgy1pjYJmEfUUdsbITHmbYD1RnGJxMPI2nNW1BYpd%2BD56EUBo2p235ODcs9vUB%2BexhFN9Gr%2Fa%2FGrs0v2eoNnUSDQ2K5eTaZ2afyk794ObIRR%2B3UQAicD4OrTgFmy9RCuc4aN3abbo%2BrGlmee6i7mcGwxQYg4yIKiq0SiVzIMyPgg4j2Vr7%2BGFHv5BEN%2FHgBDqp2RDUKFNqm8kA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8yMwpHyYQ
  14. Please, no undignified scramble.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404232938867?hash=item5e1e292573:g:RG0AAOSwN-FkLfOG&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4OmQo%2BGWXAyHX1WI4XTnwF%2FA0m87xQnsMIT5F3Q05xLn6ZyrApelO7MkZkSgqLFhMP%2FWgiux1wXU0KmDKxcnXYfuUKoQaD7aA2u%2BXvTWBsRF0gau4DzZfB93I3RhtBDmBsNZNNRwSUP1qKXuvP4RMR2zbwgWAqd44%2FR92ggiGDOMunW3QqkNtWy7jK22dKoSZ2DY2RUZQ1nV7c0Bw4bnmDecsNgMp3vUqM07TLMdR4NLh%2Bhrx0%2BuMTfoyzpyPSu1poU5fnX1WqNeZyLRXw1OzrhldEKIjqNYwioc8qN2EcV0|tkp%3ABk9SR4K168LrYQ
  15. Though none will buy, obviously. Same seller's full list. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?item=125587797461&rt=nc&_ssn=alibat-143&_pgn=1 I'm drawn to the rather lovely 1977 crown. Very rare, apparently, so likely a snip at £150....
  16. Many bargains to be had for the canny investor. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/11116/i.html?_ssn=santoor-uk&store_name=santooremporium&_oac=1&_pgn=1
  17. You're very welcome. Did you spot, more than once, reference is made to the coining of sovereigns. 1690s?
  18. BBC. Impartial. Sport. The BBC, being a license financed, non ad revenue, broadcaster, brand names and logos are always edited out wherever possible, even to the extent of food brand identifiers being clumsily censored by use of black tape on containers in cookery shows. Sport? Come footy post match analysis; any manager, player, associated pundit, loon with a view, is shown standing before a board festooned with ads for all manner of companies and products. Why is this?
  19. I've been told these daft listings can sometimes be money laundering.
