secret santa Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 I think I've done it a different way. If not, I'll try your way. Quote
Nordle11 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 The link works fine You can get it to say what you want by typing something anywhere in the middle of the link (like 'My Website') and then deleting the unwanted jargon around it. As long as the typed writing stays as a hyperlink there shouldn't be any issues! Quote
secret santa Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Sadly, that doesn't work. I must have done something wrong. Pasting within the signature as described above doesn't work so I just typed in the ERL, and I can't rename it. I'll have to live with it. Quote
Nordle11 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) See if this helps, just a quick walkthrough on how I did it. (pictures correspond to the points in order)1) Once you're in the signature section, click on this symbol2) Then paste your URL into the box3) It should then show up like this4) Click and type what you want it to say in the middle of the link5) Delete the other information either side of what you've typedThen it should just show as what you've typed in your signature..

secret santa Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Thanks for your efforts to help but it's no go. When I type the URL in the box and try to click OK nothing happens. In fact the page goes dead and I have to alt+< to get out. Maybe I'll try in a different browser. Quote
Nordle11 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Ah yes, if you're using IE then it wont work, otherwise try Chrome, that works best for me Quote
DaveG38 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 An 1886 variety first 8 over 8.c.g.s. 22370I've just bought a UNC 1886 penny, which it turms out is an 8 over 8. Does this carry a premium over the plain date type? Quote
Paulus Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Eureka ! (I think)Spot on! Well done Rash, works like a dream Quote

secret santa Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Address is www.englishpennies.wordpress.comEchoing the sentiments of others - indescribably good. You should write a book.Yes, Michael Freeman offered it to me 3 years ago but I paid significantly less for it this time. Worth waiting for. He also sent me some useful background material last time.Any more details than what we got in the thread about it?Michael sent the coin to the Royal Mint in 2011 and they had it for 5 months before replying. Their reply was that the shape of the 6 was not consistent with UK coins of this period and that they consulted the die records for the 1920s and "nothing came to light which could have given rise to the striking of such a piece." That clearly is questionable given the variety of coins and die combinations that have emerged from that period. Michael suspects that they may not have spent much time investigating the coin. I think that he may well be right in that they are not much interested - when I wrote to them about my 1922 penny with M.E. obverse and 1927 reverse, they never replied apart from the initial promise to get back to me. Further prompts brought nothing. I guess they get many requests like this ???Michael also sent it to Steve Hill at Baldwins who recommended the Mint enquiry. Stephen Lockett got his cataloguer (Paul Redford I assume) to examine the coin under a microscope and he said there was a trace of a number under the 6 but it was NOT a 7. Michael made many other points that support the view that it is not a 1927 penny that has been "doctored" after issue from the Mint. He wrote back to the Mint but there's no mention of a further response from them. It was enough to convince me that the penny is an experimental piece that was produced along with the other anomalies that I mention on my website. Heaven knows how they all "escaped" ! 1 Quote

Accumulator Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Rashenley, I rarely find time to post these days but I do occasionally drop by to check what's happening. Seeing your collection and website stopped me in my tracks. Just fantastic! Also, clearly a work in progress so I can only imagine how it will develop given more time.I'm wondering whether we've met at auctions in the past, though I've not been to one for a year or more? At the moment business and family give little time (and finance) for hobbies, but i may well return to the fold in the future. You're certainly setting the standard to aim for when, and if, I do return! Quote

VickySilver Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 And we can heap it on: this is really such a fine collection you've put together that it has nearly intimidated the rest of us (well, speak for myself). The attention to detail and getting off into the various types really great stuff. Quote

Nordle11 Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Pete's penny. Strangley the pictures have different hues.. Quote
PWA 1967 Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Not having any books to hand.Can anyone give me a main indicator with regards F10 and F13 stuggling to tell any difference.Pete. Quote
jacinbox Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 F8 and 9 are mules so f10 must be the 2+D (2 will be the LCWYON on the shoulder with the gap between the rose and the end visible) f13 must be 3+D where gap is not visible and LCWYON is marginally lower in comparison to obv 2. Quote
PWA 1967 Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Still hard to tell.Thanks Gary will have a closer look under a glass.My purchases arrived from spink today,nice to have them in a large flip and adds to the provenance. Quote
