  1. That gilt one's a bit of a stunner.
  2. What year's that please Richard?
  3. Surely not Mike? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/123939606539?hash=item1cdb60500b:g:AhkAAOSwBLlVAWXk
  4. That was a steal, I'd have been well pleased with that.
  5. Sorry Mike, I am confident I know less about it than you. I don't have one in my collection.
  6. Our local hospital unearthed a time capsule from 1903 with a few uncirculated coins in. The picture in the paper only showed the obverse of the penny, and all I could think was "turn it over".
  7. Tidy example Mike, I'd be pleased with that.
  8. I've just got two minty fresh 2016 2ps from the post office. Are we behind the times here?
  9. They need to learn a bit about which words require a capital letter. This sort of writing does my head in.
  10. Which IOM coinage please John? The only fit I can see is the 1860 copper halfpenny and the 1839 IOM halfpenny and I'm struggling to get my head round that.
  11. I only know that there's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya 'bout the raising of the wrist...

  14. It's not a coin in my eyes. Coins are for spending. Pretty it may be but it's just an artistic exercise as far as I'm concerned.
  15. I can't tell the difference! I only checked the reverse.
  16. Brilliant, thanks Mike.
  17. Who's Gee please Mike? F169 now known to be approximately one in every 6 million as far as I can tell.
  18. Tidy that Mike, nice find.
  19. These things are a bit more important than a box to keep them in though.
  20. I cannot conceive how wealthy I would have to be to not want to spend the money on coins instead.
  21. If it was mine then it would be. Definitely.
  22. They're not my favourite, but they're still an effective means to stop the beer falling through one's fingers.
