    I've absolutely no idea Pete.
  2. mrbadexample
    Not in Birmingham either, apparently.
  3. mrbadexample
    Judging by the plugged holes that were posted on here somewhere, I'd say yes. You'd always know but it would be a lot easier to live with. The problem comes when it's subsequently sold on...
  4. mrbadexample
    No, it was one of those times the quote box wouldn't disappear but I managed a successful edit. You must have been quick.
  5. mrbadexample
    Good luck!
  6. mrbadexample
    Nah, I'll let Mike have whichever one he wants, and that's nothing to do with me not being able to afford either.
  7. mrbadexample
    You can keep your grilled Bear. I'll have a Les Hiddins please.
  8. mrbadexample
    Both of those now.
  9. mrbadexample
    We'll all be hammered Pete, it's a party.
  10. mrbadexample
    Where's the dartboard going?
  11. mrbadexample
    Worth having a word with your bank? I'd class that as an unauthorised transaction.
  12. mrbadexample
    Don't forget, if you use bottle tops most of them will have a kink in them from being levered off the bottle.
  13. mrbadexample
    I like that but as you say, 5 years is a bit lightweight.
  14. mrbadexample
    Fair point.
  15. mrbadexample
    I wish I could get a job in journalism. I can make stuff up just as well as the next bloke. Probably better, actually.
  16. mrbadexample
    It's a mint error Pete, if it's the wrong shape. Hang on to it, whatever you do.
  17. mrbadexample
    All received now. Thanks very much.
  18. mrbadexample
    Ah yes, of course. I think the document I was looking at was auto-transcribed from a scan - I did correct it from this: Sammut J. "Lascaris and His Countermarked Copper 4 and 2 Tari Pieces." Sealby’s Coin anal Medal Bulletin, June 1964, pp. 205-207.
  19. mrbadexample
    Well the second wouldn't hurt, for a bit of further information, although I do have what I need. Couldn't be sure which article would be most helpful. Thanks though Rob.
  20. mrbadexample
    Well, if it's not a very discerning jay, perhaps.
  21. mrbadexample
    Many thanks kildonan for the scan of the first article. It's given me what I needed to identify the countermarks on this 2 tari, so no real need for the other article I don't think.
  22. mrbadexample
    I'm not convinced they will. As Pete says, it's only the AA01 part that's of interest, and so many of these have been put away in mint condition that in 100 years' time supply will probably still outstrip demand. You'd probably get more for an AA02.
  23. mrbadexample
    Not British but a nice lamination flaw on this Swedish 2 öre:
  24. mrbadexample
    It'll almost certainly be a cut 'n' shut - two coins skimmed down on the tails side and stuck together to make a trick coin. You might see a seam along the edge.
  25. mrbadexample
    Don't need the whole things Rob, was kind of hoping for scans of a couple of articles - just 5 pages to be exact: Sammut J. "Lascaris and His Countermarked Copper 4 and 2 Tari Pieces." Sealby’s Coin and Medal Bulletin, June 1964, pp. 205-207. Pridmore, T. "The Countermarked Copper Coinage of Malta." The Numismatic Circular. April 1950, pp. 191.192. Any chance? Please?
