A couple from this side of the pond.

While I never watched it all the way through I thought jeremy hunt did really well against boris last night , pity he's 11/1 against

Give me the choice of one coin from your collection, and I promise not to relay this to Mrs Mike.

It was one of a group of pennies, low grade fuzzy picture, and I just had an idea it was an ME. The risk was less because the others pennies had £200 or so value to re-sell, so I left £300 bid, and was chased up to that by someone, but they doubted what they saw more than me. When it turned up, I was rather relieved......and pleased.... The F69 was in a group of three pennies, but the picture was fuzzy, except when I looked at 4am, and it wasn't any more. five hours later at 9am it was back to being a fuzzy picture again. Weird. Almost like ebay at that time was having bandwidth problems, so in the middle of the night they could send more info per picture....laft £350 bid, finished at £16. i checked so many times to see if it wasn't true....

So I bought this Token at Heritage last night. Graded MS64 RB, it is a Lanarkshire copper 1/2 Penny Token dated 1795. But the real reason I bought it is because it is from Glasgow with the Glasgow coat of arms on it and that is where I grew up and where, in many respects, I still think of as home. The photo is from Heritage.

coin monthly adverts...such delight ...I got a few nice coins if you had fast fingers. I went to a coin fair in Norwich and ended up with a flintlock pistol...that took some explaining.
