Why would a flan flaw fall in to the rejected category?

Does one have to pay if the coin is rejected then? I really dont follow slabbing companies so please excuse my ingorance here.

Doesn't seem anything altered at all to me and if I were looking to play devils advocate and just question something for the sake of it, perhaps they see tooling here?. I can't really spot anything to question. Rather remiss of these companies not to give details and leave the owner in limbo.

did you have some “sossiges” with it?

We were out for a few drinks with the project team and the company COO was there, paying of course. We’d had a few jars and he started complaining about the glis glis in his rafters. After an interesting and lengthy explanation about them and the high cost of getting rid, I concluded that they are basically just posh rats, but cute ones.

Three squirrels were sitting on animal hides... The first squirrel was sitting on a rabbit hide and weighed one pound. The second squirrel was sitting on a wolf hide and weighed two pounds. And the third squirrel was sitting on a hippopotamus hide and weighed three pounds. This proves that the squirrel on the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the squirrels on the other two hides.

Goodness me, what was the planned procedure if I might ask?

Yes, overgraded. Fred the flour grader would have got closer.

Nice to see that the tradition is being kept alive, here's one in Manchester.

Yes indeed, I hope he's OK, he's not been on here for a while...

Apparently one of the side effects of coronavirus vaccines is no taste... Thoughts go out to all the Eastenders fans out there and.. A friend just had his 2nd injection at the vaccination center and began to have blurred vision the whole way home. When he got home, he called the vaccination center for advice and to ask if he should go see a doctor, or be hospitalized. He was told to come back to the vaccination center as a matter of urgency to collect his glasses.

Sure I can see a smiley face next to it, on the right hand side, probably not contemporary. Could just be a touch of Pareidolia caused by an innocent cock up by the stone mason.

Yes, very nice cabinet Why not see if there’s interest in the smaller cabinets on here and then order a big one?

Id forgotten about your mate Flash but your account of him did stay with me for quite a while when I first read it.

I’ll often wear one cotton glove when examining slabs (+ small bottle of isopropyl alcohol on the side).* Great for rubbing off any fingerprints or crud prior to closer examination and before putting away. I find it more convenient than a loose cloth. *There’s a Spinal Tap album cover title in there somewhere

Here's an extract from G. Thullier (Pour une histoire monétaire de la France au XIXe siècle). From what I can understand with my poor French: Straight after the Revolution of 1848 and on 3/May of that year they were still striking Centimes in pure copper. It seems that the big push in France toward Bronze came a little later on 6/May 1852 with an issue of 48,500,OOOF of bronze (at that time they also recalled about 10,000T of copper). Notably, he states that bronze coins were circulating 50 years earlier than that (Note1 states that in 1848 there was already various (billon) coinage in circulation made of copper or bell metal or bronze which was made half a century earlier, which I assume was official issue).

Mr. Cartwright sounds like an all-round good egg ( or an all-oval good egg) for refusing any financial reward. Hopefully the thieves read the article too.
