To expand - a few beers, a packet of cigars and a garden chair to recline in. Happy days. The lyrics and music were crystal clear. Saved myself a few hundred quid there. Just need more beers for tomorrow's concert.

Hello, yes I had a report and have contacted the hosts. Apparently they had blocked a lot of IP addresses due to massive amounts of spam/malicious traffic. They may have been overzealous. I'm still investigating.

Groat balls of fire?!

Just listening to the free Oasis concert tonight in Heaton Park. Good audio as it is only 3/4 mile away. Richard Ashcroft is currently performing, so waiting for the main act to come on. The house cost 23K 43 years ago, but we've probably had that much back in ticket costs over the period. Tried to post this at 7:45, but kept getting a forbidden message whichever way I tried, but now works for some reason.

If your coins sing to you, I suggest you go and see a nice man in a white coat. There is a medical treatment for symptoms such as this.

Glad it’s gone to a good home at least! Well done…I did wonder! ☺️

On its way to Herefordshire, Stu, I thought it was underpriced too. Jerry

Reading the sports section on the BBC website this morning, I have just genuinely realised that champion golfers Schauffele and Scheffler are two separate people. No wonder I've been confused.

you've posted in Hammered which I usually mark as “read” as I have no interest in them - could you please check the forum before you post? Many thanks. (These belong in Non-British coins). Having said that, those two examples are in a very collectable condition.

bloody heck....enough said.......

looks like tower mm

Correct 👍

No idea, cost me quite a bit, but you can't get them anywhere.

Hi Geordie582, nice to hear from you after all these years, indeed since 2016. And I note from your Omnicoin profile that you are 95 on the 5th, so Happy Birthday for two days time. I also infer that time had been rather unkind to you since you seem to have adopted American language idiosyncrasies and started using the dollar and cryptocurrency, Cumbria must have changed alarmingly since my last visit and our mutual love of good old £sd! The Trump effect, I presume - 52nd state? You have to be so wary of anything you read nowadays. However thank you for your generous offer but I have just agreed to send most of my money to some African lawyers who are processing an inheritance of millions of dollars from an apparent late friend of my late mother whose name I cannot pronounce, so bit skint at the mo. Good luck with your sale, Jerry

I just got this set for laughably low money but suspect it is quite rare with catalogue values based on NOTHING. These coins were struck by the Royal Mint in sizes from one cent through one dollar and very prooflike. Mintage not recorded, and I’ve not seen another. this is one of those sets/coins that are largely forgotten and never really noted at time of release or since then. Currency versions were struck from one cent through 25 cents but no 50c or dollar coins that I can tell - so the only “uncirculated” of any type in the BU sets. 1999 Trinidad Proof Sets were struck with an authorised Mintage of 3,000 but I suspect many fewer made it to collector channels. BU Set:

Look rather crude to me there are various contemp copies out there , they are very common. As they were not worth much they were often just thrown away , loads ended up in the thames as well pretty sure its a richmond issue

Yes, I was the underbidder, it would’ve been a very cheap coin for someone otherwise. I’d spent a bit already and equally had my eye on some other things, so couldn’t really chase it too far.
