      Halfpenny Obverse 5 die flaw

      By Rob · Posted

      It also isn't very logical. The wife sold something weighing 1.13kg on ebay, which AI determined should be passable as a Royal Mail large letter (max weight 1kg). Maybe the taxman will round down my bill to £1 on the grounds that subsequent zeros mean nothing. Hope springs eternal.

      Its a shame I didnt copy the initial interaction because I called it out, AI was claiming the die flaw to the forehead was not uniqe to Obv 5, then I said The flaw is unique to 5 and AI bactracked and said yes you are correct I made a mistake lol. I realise I am feeding into to algorithm I'm pretty anti AI but over the last few weeks I have tested it on a few different subjects and mostly the information is incorrect in real world facts. It will hash together what it thinks you want to hear. Rather than stating I dont know.

      Whitman Blue book shelf type coin albums

      By copper123 · Posted

      In the mid to late seventies whitman folders retailed around 25p to 50p range its now virtually impossible to get them for less than a £5 note. On their own they have been a great investment

      I put the question to AI, why only a few hundred 5+G are estimated to remain and pressed AI for the reason. the text above is what was regurgitated. Use it at your peril, very often the information is incorrect. Hence me asking how likely that information is accurate.

      Whitman Blue book shelf type coin albums

      By Paddy · Posted

      @coinkat's OP mentioned "blue book" so I assumed the blue folders were what we were talking about. I have encountered the posher Bookshelf albums that @Bronze & Copper Collector refers to, but I don't recall the colour of those? They were an improvement in storing coins, but seem to have been much less popular - possibly much more expensive? The blue folders were a great way for a young collector to get started, particularly when many of the coins could still be picked up in circulation.
