Curiousity Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Does anyone know this? There must be an exact figure. Also does anyone know the length of the spacing of a single ridge? Quote

Debbie Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Sorry you have totally lost me there Ski? Just a thought though, if there were an "official" number of ridges on older coins, could this not be an indicator of authenticity? Quote
Chris Perkins Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Just a thought though, if there were an "official" number of ridges on older coins, could this not be an indicator of authenticity?It sometimes is used as am indicator or authenticity, handy if you have a known genuine item and a suspect coin of the same type.... and a lot of patience!

ski Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 No one is going to produce snide 10p's that should see them start to turn up real soon ahem.....debbie a thrupenny bit is 12 sided, therefore a dodecagonal12 sides are easier to count than ridges. Quote
ski Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Is there no record of this lol? Surely this is the place where someone would know the answer we will all know once youve counted em, still keeping us in suspense though Quote
Peter Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Sorry you have totally lost me there Ski? Just a thought though, if there were an "official" number of ridges on older coins, could this not be an indicator of authenticity?Cockney rhyming slang for lady top parts Quote
Debbie Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Well I can well imagine what the "bits" refer to...but the thruppeny....? Quote
ski Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 thruppeny= threepenny.........threepenny = 12 sided coin......i dont know anything about upper lady parts as im totally innocent of such things Quote
Chris Perkins Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 The first word in a cockney rhyming slag pair is only there to lend a connection with the 2nd noun, which will invariably rhyme with the thing being referenced.Apples and PearsRub a dubSkin and blisterFrog and ToadPete TongGypsy kissButchers hookAre some of the most well known. These are often shortened and just the first word is substituted for whatever you want to say.Am I the only Saaf East Londoner here? I often wondered why there are not more London area members. I know Derek is. Or is coin collecting more a provincial thing, like ferreting and pigeon keeping? Quote

I know Derek is. Or is coin collecting more a provincial thing, like ferreting and pigeon keeping? I'm an ex-Putneyite, now sadly exiled to the provinces down in Tunbridge Wells by unaffordable housing stock. Perhaps therein lies the reason - Londoners can't afford both somewhere to live and a coin collection? Quote

azda Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Gypsy kiss = piss? Skin and blister = sister? Edited May 2, 2012 by azda Quote
Chris Perkins Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 All of them are right. Pete Tong being a relatively modern one.You're probably right Broomstick. Even though SE London is cheaper than SW generally, I couldn't afford anything larger than a broom cupboad so had to get something in Kent too. Not as nice as Tunbridge Wells though, as you can gather from the recent tenant and shooter incident described elsewhere.I have never counted the millings on a 10p. Quote
ski Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 spent a lot of my younger days living on clapham common north side.....big old victorian houses just up from the shell garage........exiled now in ashford near thiefrow.clapham is now pronounced clathem by the yuppies who live there.........just down the road is the equally poncy named St reathem. Souff east london aint exactly cockney me old cocker now is it...... Quote
