    I wonder who 'Marshall' was?
  2. Michael-Roo
    Him.

    'Stuff To Make Us Laugh' ? I know plenty of people who aren't laughing.

    'Boom, boom' Chris. Very good.

    For comparison here are two 1679 3rd bust crowns sold by LCA. The first they graded Fine, the second Very Fine.
  7. Michael-Roo
    You're very welcome Weaver. I'd grade Fine. Maybe one or two other members here may like to offer their assessment?
  8. Michael-Roo
    Hi Weaver, Third bust. One thing: on downloading your photo I noticed part of the jpeg title says 1679 VF. This coin isn't VF.

    To clarify: List price was £98 plus p&p, but the seller was offering a seasonal 10% discount on all coins so my total, for a very nice good fine Gouby X, was £91. And I still have the one I'd grade fine, also bought from eBay a couple of years ago, for £1.50 inc p&p.

    Throw another lentil into the stewpot mother for tonight we live like kings!

    I think this is the one Blakey means: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/THE-BIG-George-V-PENNY-AUCTION-1911-Penny-as-shown-Low-START-/294648763044?hash=item449a6f52a4%3Ag%3AtW0AAOSwFCBhtJ~q&nma=true&si=x5XhPMN40oppHpvvgkGwNxXi%2Fvs%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

    Today I bought one, grading a tad lower, for £91 inc p&p. Still a nice bargain and I'm happy with it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1911-Penny-Rare-Hollow-Neck-Variety-George-V-as-shown-/115160689644?hash=item1ad01cabec%3Ag%3AzE4AAOSwck9hyyWb&nma=true&si=x5XhPMN40oppHpvvgkGwNxXi%2Fvs%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

    Yes, pre obverse die crack would be a bonus but surely a realistic grade would be NVF?
  14. Michael-Roo
    Again, not eBay. This time Colin Cooke (not the man himself, obviously). AEF, and delightful. AEF? Delightful? Er....
  15. Michael-Roo
    I would think die-fill most likely as I can see a ghosting of that missing upper horizontal.
  16. Michael-Roo
    Just taken a closer look. Yup, deffo all wrong. Avoid.
  17. Michael-Roo
    Worryingly mushy.

    I've attended lots of recitals and performances in the Lady Chapel, a programme of Tallis being particularly memorable. The acoustics are wonderful.

    On four visits now I've stood inside St Mark's in Venice and, every time, have been overwhelmed by the beauty of my surroundings. Old places of worship: y'can't beat 'em. Should anyone on here find themselves in the vicinity I recommend Liverpool's Anglican cathedral. Even us Irish Catholics have to admit the building is astonishingly beautiful. 70 years to build, and every stone carved by hand.

    Well at least 'Dimondgirl/Marlybob' had sense enough not to attempt it with one of these..... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393711712995?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200818143230%26meid%3Da000239f2fef477e813ef7a68a48e948%26pid%3D101224%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D255237698933%26itm%3D393711712995%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DDefaultOrganicWeb&_trksid=p2047675.c101224.m-1

    Bargain! Particularly as the reason for relisting being the final bid of £720 realised last time was considered too low. Why not tell her you've reconsidered your offer and go lower? In the absence of shill bids it'd be fun to know just how far down she'd go.
  22. Michael-Roo
    Not Marly Bob, but didn't correct the spelling when typing as Bob Marly...... Oh, and WTF is a 'Dimond'? 😉
  23. Michael-Roo
    Apologies, I must've been awol the day the 1921 penny was declared a key date and therefore circulated specimens worth hundreds. I really must try to keep up.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/3394/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=1921+penny&_sop=16
  24. Michael-Roo
    £590 and counting. 34 bids from 5 bidders.
  25. Michael-Roo
    Of course, you're quite right, there were more than one. I wonder if we'll see this bid up to 8K for a second time? https://www.ebay.co.uk/bfl/viewbids/255207897503?item=255207897503&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2565
