  1. Just spotted this post. You know, I'm sure that it was a 1912H that Tony Crocker put on Ebay years ago that I was watching, and it went for a ridiculous amount. I was chatting with him on the phone, and asked him why it went for such an amount, and he said that the buyer said the nose was "different"....we both couldn't see it.....
  2. 2 over 1? What book is this listed in? My 20th century lists need updating!
  3. I just thought that the esteemed members of this community might be interested to know that a 'milliHelen' is the amount of beauty required to launch one ship.
  4. Yep, lighting angle different, but some matching scratches. Same coin. Scratches can be surprisingly 2D sometimes, and changing the light angle can make them vanish.....
  5. Surely an "Official" complaint to Ebay from some numismatic body or other would force them to address this problem? The threat of bad publicity might have an effect......
  6. Today on the BBC- the commentator on the Ladies Curling said that during the tricky match our girls were in, they were "trying to be offensive".... Maybe it was the camera angles, but they looked quite nice......
  7. Trying hard with the title.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Winston-Churchill-Coin-Crown-WWII-WWI-Hitler-Nazi-Germany-Medal-Silver-London-US/302638909182?hash=item4676af46fe:g:~0wAAOSw~vpaNvPC I think he hadn't got room for 'Gifted and Black'.......
  8. Aah- just noticed the 'link' logo at the top!!! Duh
  9. Greetings...I'm on a MacBookAir, and want to add a link in the text to a page on ebay, so you can click on it and bingo. How do I do that? I've tried everything, but I'm not a computer guy so a reply saying that I should 'format' it, or some such, means nothing to me....I'm used to just dragging and dropping, and that's that. I got round the .49Mb picture limit by always emailing the pictures to myself, with the file size on medium..... regards Blake
  10. 1868 5 cents surprisingly crisp...
  11. I resemble that remark!!
  12. I know- not what I expected in the 'tin of coins'.... My friend had a very colourful artistic full life, and died an hour after doing the Telegraph crossword... oh that we could all end our days that sharp....
  13. I'll put up some more- my friend died at 97 and I'm helping her family have a sort out. If any are wanted, I'll take offers- say, one week and then I'll see who's offered what...I'm a penny man, so silver values are an unknown. Shall I do a running count? I'm not getting a penny of this- I'll ask for payment into her daughter's account, if that's all right. Any suggestions? I have more to put up if it all goes well.. B
  14. This is a florin- the two above are doubles...
