    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    Should anyone ever tell you collecting is for sad anoraks I suggest you refer them to Hacker T Dog.....

    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.

    Lovely!

    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.....
  13. Michael-Roo
    Absolutely.
  14. Michael-Roo
    What a shame.

    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?
  17. Michael-Roo
    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?

    Thank you.
  21. Michael-Roo
    Me too please.

    My dog has no nose. How does it smell? You know the rest.
  23. Michael-Roo
    More neatly done though than the 1967 penny.
  24. Michael-Roo
    That was my immediate thought too. The dark circle showing where the reverse of one coin has been sunk into the body of a second appears very obvious. The cut even clips through some of the beads.
