Look at his eyes thinking he has something there. His head is so far stuck in the sand that he cannot read that the thing is half the given weight of an original. Numpty

Surely with the above spelling, you are referring to the Grauniad.

The Dailly(sic) Mail usually gets the spelling right, but then spoils it by trotting out scaremongering drivel.

wot u think the above is LOL

[Rob]

The content is appropriate, but spelling/grammatical mistakes suggest there might be a Grauniad influence - Dailly and enterence, full stop after Shock, capital A in Auction should be lower case and Isis is a proper noun, thus requiring a capital letter. Apart from that it's fine.

Looks a bit like a fouree (sp?). Base metal core with silver plating....

Either that or a museum replica. I've seen many of them without even a stamp on them to say they're fake.

I love the way the arguement over a coin worth less than £1 to any normal coin collector suddenly becomes a deep theological discusion on the Mail forum , with seemingly no-one able to spot the coin is a worthless fake ...........

and everyone argueing over if jesus existed or not
