Perhaps she really does look half her age, and she has a picture of a banknote in her attic...

Wind your neck in

I've noticed that several people have put up what are ostensibly links to their Onedrives within a post - could this be a way of linking to a dangerous website ? I certainly never click on a spurious link within an email but some unscrupulous hacker might choose to tempt me down this route.

Hi the mint will be operating at the Harrogate Coin Fair this w/end, striking Charles II 3d and Alfred/Burgred lunettes pennies

Named for a drunk Japanese stumbling home and reaching his - or somebody's - garden.

F10 D to tooth in DG....D to gap in FID. F13 D to gap in DG... D to tooth in FID If its not one of those combinations for a 1860 Buy it

That one is A in Victoria to tooth Jon

What a delightful little coin. A find like that makes all those wet and cold days of detecting worthwhile.

Here's the best one, from the Copthorne auction. Went for £7250, hammer:-

I click anything. Got more protection than MI5 lol. I guess it would depend on the link title. Obv if onedrive is in the make up I would think it's safe but from a poster with no previous posts I would air on the side of caution and let some dumb sod like me click it

Although I cannot see any sig on bust I am sure it must be there pretty sure you have 2+D F10 Penny

Boat? where??? oh.

Tina has probably sold it and counting all her money

Definately a good buy to put away,but i think as Jon says a bit soon perhaps yet. Not everyone will of bought one though (just all the forum ) and some were better than others , good luck and hope they sell for you tomorrow

Might be a bit soon? I'd have thought the market would be fairly well flooded at the moment. I mean, even Pete's got a couple (probably needed two to make it up to a penny).

I give up with the camera!!, I have tried light from every angle, tried every setting and still rubbish. Sorry the pictures from the scanner are better. I will have a go in some natural day light when i get chance.

Thought you might like to see bigger pictures of the milled 6d

No need for a wish list. There's one here. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ancient-British-Coins-Elizabeth-Cottam/dp/095668890X or here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ancient-British-Coins-Chris-Rudd-Free-UK-P-P-/152446965452

If he did find it in his garden that would quite impressive! It seems to be a billon tetradrachm from Alexandria, Egypt (as above). It dates to 243/244 AD, and was issued for the Roman Emperor Gordian III. EGYPT. Alexandria. Gordian III, 238-244. Tetradrachm RY 7 = 243/244. A K M ANT ΓOPΔΙANOC EY Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Gordian to right. Rev. L Z Eagle facing, with spread wings and its head turned to right, holding laurel wreath with its talons. Dattari (Savio) 4811 & 12422. Emmett 3402.7. Geissen 2671-2. These coins were never intended to be anywhere near Britain. The handful that do appear are usually thought to be modern losses of ancient coins, but there are a few examples that might have drifted over in the purses of merchants etc. 96 tetradrachmae from the Greek world have somehow ended up in Britain and have been recorded on the PAS; https://finds.org.uk/database/search/results/q/tetradrachm Cool find!

Does know better. It's called a dodgy dealer or to be more accurate a liar. Grading is not that subjective.
