This is typically called spam. Normally you would link to it via Baldwin's website. here

I wonder if he realises that his Web address has a spelling mistake in it. I'll leave it to Peck to chastise him for it

I'm to tired. It's to much effort. I'll leave it too you. I couldn't be fucking bothered too be honest.

Hi guys,

Sorry about that, was in a bit of a rush and posted the wrong link. As for the spelling mistake, I'm a writer, of course it was deliberate!It's due to the fact that we have a lot of American readers and they spell it differently. So I would thank you not to send silly emails to the newsdesk, or you may end up being laughed at.

If you would like me not to post content to the forum, please say so and I won't. However, I thought it would be of interest as you are British coin collectors, saves you fishing around for news all day.

Thanks.

Joe

The catalogue appeared before your post was made, as had the email from Baldwins announcing the sale along with the Bentley sovereigns pt.2.

Content is fine - we probably thought it was just spam (looking at the original link), but if you have links to coin auctions online that you think we might be interested in, please go ahead.

As a P.S., the general American ignorance that there is an alternative way of spelling English - as used by the rest of the planet, and present company excepted of course - is fairly mind boggling. After all, we Brits know pretty much all the American English variants, so why shouldn't they know ours? Rant over.

i get most of the auction houses catalogues, either by snail mail or download from websites......i wonder if im typical of most here?.......but the more news the better, so yea keep posting

Paul theres great banter here when something funny comes along and if you read many of the posts, theres usually a remark regarding daves spelling, but thank you for clarifying........we now know that dave is in fact a pseudo yank and not jockinese after all

forgive me dave......i couldnt resist.

Sorry Ski its the German/english and so on. Still a scotsman though. BTW Joe, Peckris offers free English grammer lessons, stick around and you'll learn the proper English

once a scot always a scot, taffy tommy paddy etc etc......good, .......okays here the wiki quote.

Although "collectable" is the spelling listed first for the adjective by the Oxford English Dictionary and is standard spelling in British English, the dictionary observes that the "-ible" form is also valid and this has come to be the common spelling in the United States.

so just proves these colonials dont speak proper english like wot we does.

I am reliably informed by MacGoogle that peely wally doesn't just mean 'pale', it also means 'off colour' or 'unwell' or 'doing without self abuse'. But perhaps it's a while since you were in Glasgow??? <-- Frage Zeichnen, ja?

Last Time i was in Glasgow i was at the Airport dropping of a gorgeous american Lady who i was showing round scotland for 7 days, i'm from Dumdee old Bean, 90 miles outside Glesgae

tee hee this Dave/Peck banter only gets better!

[azda]

That was entirely for you Peck, checking if you were alert

Oh of course. I'm sure we can both agree though, that if it HAD been an inadvertent typo, it was a gloriously funny one!
