'Boom, Boom'. (shake the room)......

Meee-oww.......

Sourced with relish.....

Very nice indeed but, as I bought this one for £175 delivered, you can count me happy enough.

Then if you click on 'see other items': https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Full-Gold-Sovereign-1900-Queen-Victoria-Royal-Mail-1stClass-Special-Delivery/184720694915?hash=item2b02361e83:g:hGYAAOSwRNJgVznf But, if you check out the feedback, buyers are happy enough so who are we, what's the use, etc. etc.

The fairs are held in the main hall, the concert room is in another part of the building and is open for musical performances and recitals no more than a few times each year. It can also be booked for weddings.

Or the Frenchman who was unable to count beyond seven. Because of his huit allergy. I'll get me coat.

One year on. One of Liverpool's finest, from the concert room Dickens considered the finest in the land. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gEDLGw-9z0

All his pricing is hefty IMHO https://jonblyth.com/

That was me Chris. The owner believed it to be genuine and was distraught when told it is a modern repro. He paid genuine 1905 money for it some time ago on eBay and is now trying to get his money back. I'm told they're not being very helpful and so he's approached trading standards. I did suggest he sign up as a member here in case anyone would be able to help but he's having trouble registering. If anyone does have advice he could be messaged on eBay via the contact the seller link. I think his feedback profile attests to his fair dealing and his listing of a coin he paid a lot for believing it genuine. On being told it was fake he immediately cancelled the listing.

In 1979 I was pecked on the cheek by Mary Wilson of the Supremes. Does this count?

My wife, a Cambridge Phd, teaches Classics. I think it best I don't show her this thread. 'Don't get me started' doesn't come close.

Never saw the Who but, same time frame, Stones (Mick Taylor era) at the Liverpool Empire '71 was pretty special. Check out the Marquee film from the same tour and the '72 US films for a taste. Then there was Ziggy's farewell tour in '73, and me touching his bare foot. With this hand, yes, this one here. Didn't cure anything, unfortunately......

Possibly a little more than £100. This damaged specimen realised £400 hammer at LCA five years ago.

😄 Good one.

Looks kosher, and I doubt you'd see those contact marks on a wrong'un.

Repro, surely? http://northshorenumismaticsociety.org/short-cross-coinage-england/

Whatever it is it must be pretty potent. From the same seller: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Art-By-A-Dog/174641826230?hash=item28a976c9b6:g:YRMAAOSwK21gLVSP https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/large-antique-oil-painting-Signed/174640109563?hash=item28a95c97fb:g:0QgAAOSw3e9gJ5eG

Yup, can't argue with that. The reason I put up this screen shot here was, I suppose, to illustrate the extent to which I consider coinage design has lost it's way. From timeless, classic, objects of beauty, to images one might find printed on a plastic nursery lunchbox. Yes, I know, as it is with stamps, it's all about editions and 'collect 'em all' but I guess I'm just a little too set in my ways to see the attraction.

Pistrucci did.

Messrs Roettiers, Croker, Pistrucci etc. what say you?

Bare hands?

People are actually bidding for these. Incredible. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1797-George-III-Cartwheel-Two-Pence-2d-a-beautiful-coin-much-better-in-hand/224340950362?hash=item343bc33d5a:g:m6gAAOSwNYBgHYtB https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1763-SHILLING-GEORGE-3rd-BRITISH-SILVER-COIN-NICE/224340928048?hash=item343bc2e630:g:9IIAAOSwvkxgHYX8 But, oddly enough, not for this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Commonwealth-coin-1651-unresearched-and-havent-got-a-clue-about-it/224340981716?hash=item343bc3b7d4:g:vhkAAOSwSOFgHY-5

And described as 'choice uncirculated' by the seller. Ridiculous.
