  1. I had to get mine from the States.
  2. I fancy that too but I'll let you have it this time.
  3. Well you've got all the pennies so it's probably time you started on something else.
  4. I for one would like to see how you get on Paddy.
  5. Nope. Verdicare won't touch that. It's quite good for early stage verdigris and loosening grime though.
  6. What's the tolerance of your kitchen scales? I don't think they can be relied on to be that accurate.
  7. I'm not convinced it's because people think they are rare, more that they can be sold for above face value. I guess you can't blame them.
  8. I now have a full set of Olympic 50ps.
  9. Listing removed as no longer available... Good work.
  10. You might be right. Could be a contemporary forgery, or possibly just a different die. Have you checked the weight Richard2?
  11. Not much, as far as I can see...
  12. Krause is full of errors (although I still think they've done a fairly decent job considering the scale of the undertaking). The first link I posted to lists as KM#365 and has the VI lettering.
  13. No it isn't. 1819 is KM#365.
  14. KM#365 I suggest. Suspect Krause listing (pictured) is inaccurate with regard to the lettering as other examples show the VI. https://www.lofty.com/products/portugal-juan-vi-40-reis-1819-k365-vf-70-ebc-mbc-1-smsrz https://www.portugalmoedas.com.pt/artigo.aspx?id=17619
  15. Ooo, Paddy, that verdigris is grim. I don't see how that can be removed. What made you buy it? I know you said it was cheap but I don't think I'd give you 30p for it.
  16. I've just spent a day riddling about 32 cubic feet of soil. I feel your pain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbhYqV17CoQ
  17. Makes my Jim Bowen autograph pale into insignificance.
  18. Listen to something proper eh Pete? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m7tPikH0UA
  19. Richard Gere on Warren Zevon:
  20. Clint Eastwood on Warren Zevon:
  21. Have a look on YouTube for his Letterman interviews.
