    Managed to pick up a quite decent 1919H. Nice crisp strike to the reverse, with breast plate complete, and although not brilliant hair detail on the obverse, not absent either. Minor marking to the obverse devices at 2 o' clock and 8 o' clock, but that apart completely problem free. About GEF both sides. Still got that annoying problem with colour variation, although only slight this time. Reverse colour spot on. Left hand fingers not present, unfortunately.

    Bob Lazar was the first man to out what was happening there, he then went into the shadows until this year when someone made a new documentary on what Lazar has been up to since. Here you can rent the documentary if you have an apple account and into this sort of thing https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/bob-lazar-area-51-flying-saucers/id1441638753

    So true. A good obverse strike almost guarantees a weak reverse. I've often wondered that. Or a limited number of dies so they got overused.

    Hi Mike, I do hope that you enjoy it and that the quality of the plates is reflected in the Amazon copy. The original does have gilt-edged pages and the plates are treated with similar gilt/silver/copper embossing. It must have been a costly exercise for Mr Humphrey in the 1850s.

    It's the reverse picture that looks an unnatural colour so repeated pictures of the obverse probably wouldn't change anything. That's good hair detail IMO - the reverse on mine is marginally better than yours, but there's NO hair detail!!

    I suggest locking them in a large warehouse with a good selection of the thousands of people they inconvenienced. I think they would happily take 5 years in gaol instead of that!

    Not life. That would probably be too harsh. But they do deserve the maximum sentence of 5 years with no early parole. Irresponsible idiots. The massive inconvenience that have caused to so many thousands is incalculable. Plus, if they hadn't been spotted in time and had been sucked into a jet engine, it would have been instant curtains for everyone on board.

    Not life, but they should certainly be made an example of, 5 years should be good. I have a drone myself and these idiots are just making the hobby all the harder
