Geordie582 Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Call me a cynic, but it seems too good to be true and there are a lot of forgeries about. I don't have the money anyway so this could just be sour grapes! Quote
Millimoo Posted January 17, 2005 Author Posted January 17, 2005 Hi Geordie582,It does look nice. Can I ask what your picture is of? It looks a bit like a Cnut?I'm still a bit green and not got myself a picture yet, but I'm working on it!Dave Quote
Master Jmd Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 That is nice!Looks a bit sureal though... Quote
Emperor Oli Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 I wouldn't say surreal, my avatar is surreal . I'd say more...crusty. I think that's a goo word to describe it! Quote
Geordie582 Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 My avatar is of a Cnut penny - one like the one I used to own. I've missed it ever since! Quote
Chris Perkins Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Just spotted this on ebay, a little out of my budget, but what a coin!Offa 757-796 AD So you won't be making an Offa?(Sorry, couldn't resist it, such a silly little joke, but I must admit when it came to me I was quite tickled) Quote
Geordie582 Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Ha! Ha! My other favourite coin - no longer with me - is a stycca of Aethelred II of Northumbria. Can you do anything with that Chris?? Quote
Chris Perkins Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 That's more difficult. How do you pronounce Stycca? Quote
Geordie582 Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 (edited) Sticka?? Sorry! The correct spelling is Styca! As shown at Spinks 868 Edited January 17, 2005 by Geordie582 Quote
