  1. Thanks Rob, I see the inconsistency.
  2. I'll be honest, I don't "get" this. Isn't this effect just from handling? The coin is spent, and fingers / trouser pockets etc contact the bust and obverse fields but the edge and legend prevent contact with the fields behind. The reverse is a busy design and again largely prevents the fields from being touched. I struggle to see this as being cleaned. If I'm wrong, tell me.
  3. That doesn't bother me, I don't think it's worth giving a grade on ebay - you just open yourself up to disputes.
  4. Yes, I've bought from him before.
  5. Nice coin, but I cringe when I see dealer's pictures taken in the hand like this.
  6. New penny variety - one for your website Richard?
  7. I also no longer use them after suspiciously winning lots at my maximum bid only. In fact, I don't even bother to look at what's on offer, less I get tempted. Are auction houses required to keep records of all bids made?
  8. Yes, obverse 7 for me too.
  9. ...is that they directly profit from the sale of fakes, so they pay nothing more than lip service to preventing it.
  10. Which die pairing is that on please Jerry?
  11. I've spent a good few hours over Easter watching the solitary bees round the bug hotel. It's been like Biggin Hill some days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rErO8E6WNMI Seeing them emerge into the world is quite satisfying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q73F5LpcU1M
  12. Berberis fruit is edible so I reckon you'd be good.
  13. The only other one I know is "pack my bags with five dozen boxes of juicy liquorice". I'm sure there's a name for it - pan something I expect.
  14. Best I can do is 11: unawareness.
  15. Scroll up to my "Hawkwind" post! :p
  16. By which you mean there IS a second E. Otherwise it's only 4.
  17. 5. Strychnine must be close?
  18. 7. Hawkwind. Also awkward.
  19. 4. Abstemious, facetious.
  20. 3. Monday is his horse.
