    What kind of device/browser are you using? It is the same if you try something else?

    Oh well, if we're doing medals .. let's see if this works. No. Doesn't work for me @Chris Perkins Says I can't paste images directly. I have to upload or insert from a url ..
  4. Today

    Hello 'H', Thanks for your response. I'm gradually getting better at doing ID's although its always nice to get an expert confirmation or otherwise! Agree with worn examples. It always seems to be the really diagnostic bits that are missing ☺️. I'm using Withers halfpence and farthings books at present, which I find very good. James

    Something else of interest, and pertinent . And No, my dad was not involved in the invasion. He was assigned elsewhere.
  7. Bronze & Copper Collector
    Newbie here too, after 20 years
  8. Chris Perkins
    Everyone has defaulted to newbie I'm afraid. I can bump anyone up (have done for you) if they don't fancy waiting to accrue points again.

    Sadly, I didn't get one and I've been reduced to a "Newbie" when I click on my Id.

    Here's my Dad's WW2 Medals. It looks like it might work
  11. Chris Perkins
    There's also a 'MID' leaf on the miniatures, but not on the full size. But if that's how they got to you, assuming your grandfather is no longer with us, then probably best left as they are.

    I tried to post this just after we'd retained the Ryder Cup but it wouldn't let me. It seems less amusing now...........
  13. Paddy
    Yes, the Dutch one is for "Knight Commander of the Orange Nassau with Swords", which he got for his work rebuilding the dikes in the Netherlands after the war. (He was an officer in the Royal Engineers.) Have you spotted the mismatch? The TD medal in the miniatures is the correct one I believe, the TE is a replacement as the TD got lost somewhere along the line.
  14. Chris Perkins
    Excellent! Took me a while to ID that last one on the right. Dutch Orange-Nassau, fabulous. The ribbon looks very similar to the standard WWI British War Medal.
  15. Paddy
    Ok - as a try and for want of anything else to post, a picture of my Grandfather's WW2 medals: Yes! Worked fine.
  16. secret santa
    Thanks Terry, I've added to my rare penny site.
  17. Chris Perkins
    Paddy and others, try dragging an image into a post. Should work now. Here's one such image: (That's a still from a Blue Peter episode where they used 2 of my coin images in a Penny Farthing Bicycle feature - earned me a Blue Peter badge!)

    3 x short cross. 1 x long cross for me I would struggle if it was a whole penny.. what chance as halved penny. am I right to think I can make out Henry on the first 2 ? As always many...Many thanks for casting your eyes over them for me.
  19. Chris Perkins
    Not at all, thank you and so many others. Still not there yet with the dragging image into post error issue, but I'm making slow progress - I think. It also affects the customisation of pages and keeps booting me out behind the scenes, very annoying.
  20. Chris Perkins
    Can I discern HADRIANUS for Hadrian on the one of the right? Looks like him if my memory is correct. The one on the left, Maybe Trajan?
  21. Coinery
    Nice intro., Chris, thanks for all the time you’re putting into this…much appreciated! 🤝
  22. Coinery
    No, not a threepence, it’s a threehalfpence. Coys is right, though, you definitely need a set of scales. 👍
  23. Bronze & Copper Collector
    A member since 2005, I got my one year badge too. At that rate, I'm only a bit more than 3.5 years old

    Rather less interesting - another possible 1905 with a small 0
