Probably not until he retires, and then only if he keeps his nose clean. No more nightclub fracas! Of course, if the cricket supporters in England had their way, he'd be King by now! Ben Stokes - the only thing more difficult to get out than a Scotsman's wallet.

Just did this one using Photoscape, which I know a lot of people use on here as it is free: 1. Open your picture in the Photoscape editor 2. From the "Crop" tab at the bottom, select "Crop Round Image" 3. Beneath that select the background colour you want from the drop down. 4. Draw your circle around your coin image and when you are happy hit the "Crop" button. Bingo!

FFS, there's loads of people trying to offload these washers for a fortune. Has one of the Red Tops been spreading numismatic porkies again?

I'm not, Chris. Nor a Man City one - but I do have Aguero, Sterling and David Silva in my work Fantasy football team (league of 23 members of staff), as well as Callum Wilson from Bournemouth. So it was an important match in that sense.

Sir Ben Stokes?

I just love this. Good old Iris. If you're in need of cheering up the seller's other offerings are worth a squint too: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/boutiqueunique2015/m.html?item=362689455958&hash=item5471f9e756%3Ag%3All0AAOSw2jFceerJ&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Oh, and check out the top item in seller feedback. Clearly bollocks, but is this kind of lying also illegal? https://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=boutiqueunique2015&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller&ftabfocus=true&searchInterval=30

Paddy, thanks for the tip, it works great, lots of possibilities (found it in the Mac store ) Just couldn't resist quickly trying it out, here's a plugged, decapitated, and 'defe(e)ated' obsidional Pontefract shilling, very intuitive, don't need to read a book👍 thanks, Paul

Somebody's 'avin a larf.......

Probably the best innings that I have ever seen, given the various situations that Stokes found himself in. 2 runs off his first 50 balls showed the rest of them what Test cricket is all about and then his management of the innings was breathtaking. I agree that Roy has to go, and the affect of one day cricket on Test cricket can't be lost amongst the hysteria of this win which did have its elements of good fortune with dropped catch, fumbled run out and wasted review. But still one of the greatest sporting occasions of my life.

It hurts your eyes anyway, to keep staring at gaps/teeth, and depending on the angle you are looking at the coin picture from, you can very easily be wrong, unless the coin is in hand. So to find a very obvious and easy way of recognition, such as a thin rim, combined with the much clearer GRA:BRITT differential, is brilliant.

I'll be honest, it was Pete that drummed that one in to me.

What's this price guide she's using? If her 1887s are 'sitting' at these valuations then lord knows what everything else must be valued at. We all must be holding riches beyond our wildest imaginings... First thing tomorrow morning I shall swap my inverted 1 1820 sixpence for a winged unicorn (unipegasus?), just because I can afford to, then flutter about showering the hoi polloi with the beneficence which would be my half-chewed Greggs vegan sausage rolls. Er, no rubbish mind, we're talking king size here. Make sure you're up and out early...
