    Fur or no fur?

    phobias are strange i also have a phobia to: heights - i can control my fear, but when it comes to looking off of the edge of something or climing ladders i sometimes cant move and: closed spaces - i hate being trapped or in a small room on my own

    hmm, GBU or FDC?

    On tuesday last week, i went down the bank with my mum, and i cashed in a bag of decimalised 1p's and 2p's; i had gone 1p over the £1.00 limit of the bag, but instead of giving me 1p out of the bag, the bank person got a 2004 1p out. This 1p had obviously never reached circulation, and it was in the best condition i had ever seen a penny in; anyway, ive just been looking at this penny and my FDC 1970 proof penny...it seems that my 1p was far more reflective than the 1970 proof penny, my 1p could even make out fully coloured detail (like a bronze mirror )...does this make it FDC? i have only touched the coin rim, and the bank person held it by the rim when he passed it to me...

    Fur or no fur?

    well, i have only seen about 2 real-fur clothing items on people, all i mostly see is artificial fur, like the clip-on artificial fur on some coat-hoods
  13. Master Jmd

  16. Master Jmd

    Fur or no fur?

    No, i disagree, for food purposes is ok, because we cant make cirtain foods without meat, but we can make clothes, and artificial fur, without real furs.

    hmm, GBU or FDC?

    hmm, my strongest is an old 16x magnifying glass, it reveals no scraches!
  20. Master Jmd

    What do you collect?

    The problem is that I am the dealer and he is a collector. I am going to be forced to give the first number! what would you 'bid' up to?
  21. Master Jmd

    hmm, GBU or FDC?

    yes, mine is definatley FDC then...
  22. Master Jmd

    hmm, GBU or FDC?

    it must be FDC then, even under a powerful magnifying glass one can see no scraches or other minute marks!
  23. Master Jmd

    What do you collect?

    i would not offer a price to the dealer Aethelred, ask how much he wants for it, and then make your decision that way
  24. Master Jmd

    What do you collect?

    Ext. rare means nothing too much HPJ, i bought an EF 1953 ext. rare 2+A farthing from colin cooke for £8.50 a few weeks (maybe a month) ago, and he already lists another one at the same price!
