Been booked in for my vax jab on wednesday and very pleased with the NHS for geting one of the fastest jabs anywhere in the world .

Been looking for one of these for ages. Low grade would be fine as long as the defining characteristic of the LCW is visible! Curiously, one seldom sees lower grade ones of this, most of the ones I have seen seem to be EF or thereabouts, or better. Wonder why that should be??

Just a quick reminder , this cold spell is coming to an end but please remember many small birds wrens blue tits and many others die in weather like this in mild winters so this one is seriously killing lots of them . A few little feeding stations in the garden will lead to many more birds being around in the spring .

I saw that one .Yeh ,it is a bit more than I would be willing to pay .There is a low grade one in a mixed lot , but ,I don't fancy bidding on a lot just for one coin that might be lower grade than I would be happy with . I will get them eventually (in a grade and price I am happy with) ,might just take a while .

Agreed- the only one's I've seen are way too costly for me. I'd love one in F!

Will still be silver under the black bit.

I see that they DO wear gloves when handling the slabs😬

My guess would be that it's a detector find.

As far as I know a touch piece was a gold angel - a king would be unlikely to use silver - its a curency shilling anyway. I seriously doubt its original as well it just looks "wrong" could just have been badly cleaned - but its in a plastic "Tomb" so you would have to take it out . I remember seeing a holed example on a maket stall in leek staffs , it was in GVF far superior to your and the vender only wanted a hundred for it , I was broke at the time so I passed on it but it was well worth a hundred. I hope you never paid much for it ..........Mint mark is a Tun Stress fracture points to it being genuine though

Or if you prefer farthings,

Looks like this is the way my life's going Three elderly golfers walking down the fairway. "Sixty is the worst age to be" said the 60-year-old "You always feel like you have to pee. And most of the time nothing happens". "Ah, that's nothing" said the 70-year-old. "When you're 70, you don't have a bowel movement anymore. You take laxatives, eat prunes, you sit on the toilet all day and nothing happens". "Actually" said the 80-year-old "Eighty is the worst age of all". "Do you have trouble peeing too?" asked the 60-year-old. "No, I pee every morning at 6.00 am. I pee like a racehorse; no problem at all". "Do you have trouble having a bowel movement?" "No, I have one every morning at 6.30 am". Puzzled with this the 60-year-old said "Let's get this straight. You pee every morning at 6.00 am and crap every morning at 6.30 am. So what's so tough about being 80?" "I don't wake up until seven..."

I have just worked through my penny websites adding a "return to top of page" function at the bottom of every page to save users scrolling all the way back to the top to get to the menu. Hopefully it will be useful.
