Oh what a good idea , ill just warm up the printer.

How long before forged "vaccination passports" are available on Ebay ?

Not sure whether you watched/listened to it. I was a bit disappointed to be honest - not with Van Tam, but with the overall choice of questions. It was too geared towards "can I hug my Mum?" type stuff. There was even a question about Father Christmas. Not really scientific/quantitative enough for me, but I guess that's the general reflection of what viewers want, so fair enough. Predictably the question of how long will the vaccine confer immunity was asked, to which the by now blindingly obvious answer of "we don't know" was given. I think most people are already aware of that. The one question I did find totally relevant was whether certificates would be issued with the shots, as I know many places will be insisting on some proof of inoculation before they will let you through the door, in the future. But again he was somewhat ambivalent on the point. There would be a strict medical record kept, but he wasn't really sure on actual certification which could be carried around. Which again is an understandable response as he's not a government minister.

Michael has now made his study of the 1847 No colon "Medusa" penny available for anyone that may be interested. http://www.michael-coins.co.uk/CP1847M-Medusa.htm Pete.

Italy Carlo Emanuele III Coinage for the Sardinia Half Reale 1769

£44. It looks more like a 'B' than a 3, so that should be to left of the lighthouse😁

One thing I have noticed is how badly many of the 1860/59 specimens are affected by the lack of right breast. Indeed in many cases the left breast is also affected. Re-used worn reverse die? Here's an example:-

This finally arrived from France after being highlighted on the forum . 1874H 7 over 7 . very poor , but a clear example .

If I get bored I might check the ever growing sack of foreign. I seem to have accidentally collected another 3 kilos this week :/

Forget eBay for shifting things on at a sensible price as you are dealing with morons more often than not. The wife has just received a neutral for a fully described and illustrated item when the buyer said she thought she would be getting a reproduction, i.e the item wasn't 'not as described'!!! How the **** are you supposed to deal with people like that. You can't leave feedback identifying the idiot behind the id, but you as a seller are portrayed as a person shipping iffy items long after the 3 month period when things are still illustrated. eBay really do hate sellers and pander to the moronic majority.
