  1. Probably my error Richard, you should have it now (email).
  2. Dracott gives tooth counts - do you have his article Richard?
  3. Ra7 was what I tried to do to start with but it didn't work.
  4. This doesn't work. Pa7 will be followed by Ka7. Pb7 doesn't work either because b7 is occupied. I think. I am terrible at chess. I know how the bits move and not much more, but I like a puzzle and there weren't many pieces involved.
  5. Black could move the bishop but then Ra7 = mate.
  6. Ahh...sorry, it's a6...looked like a 5 on the picture. So replace a5 with a6.
  7. Black pawn takes rook at A5?
  8. W: Ra5 B: pxa5 W: pb7 That works in my head but I'm crap at chess.
  9. It does a bit. I'd not long posted the photo when I looked at the latest activity page and saw: I'm thinking "sh*t no, I haven't got anything fancy like that..."
  10. Ophrys kotschyi
  11. Can you at least crop your images? I'm looking at 5% coin and 95% carpet and I can't make out any detail.
  12. From my own observations they appear much more common than either 26a (missing serifs) or large roses.
  13. Mine looks to be the same obverse as yours Richard.
  14. Well spotted, I hadn't noticed.
  15. Here's mine. I was fortunate enough to find this within about half an hour of learning of the variety (Penny Crown Coins, thanks Derek. )
  16. I was paying attention. The one here.
  17. The one on Richard's site is better. Whose is that one?
  18. Not for me Mike, the penny lots at DNW soar way beyond both estimate and budget. And If I was, I'd not be telling everyone.
  19. There's a nice F164 lurking in lot 646 at the forthcoming DNW sale.
  20. In Erdington, I am never sure whether to straddle the middle of the two lanes or veer from one to the other.
  21. Regardless of what it's called, it's way better than the one they went for.
