    What is that? I have the first ed of his book on British Bronze, didn't know he had done just one on Vic bronze pennies.

    the letter is almost more of a collectors' piece than the coin itself.

    I assume that as they were planning the Great Recoinage of 1816 they needed to be sure there was no denomination overlap to cause confusion?

    Also - that particular coin has been photographed badly as far as the lighting goes: a top grade 1934 should be a completely different colour; remember, they were mint treated with hypo so shouldn't be all bright and shiny beige.

    I think that whatever the collecting field - Pokemon, vinyl, coins, cars - the rarest items are highly sought after and go up and up in value. By comparison, the more common items are so much cheaper, if not actually declining in value. This is how it's going to be, year on year.

    Indeed - the first pennies were 1797 cartwheels - nothing before or after until 1806.

    Loading fine for me - was it a temporary glitch?

    I'm 71 and I only remember transport in that list, but there wasn't very much of it!

    Why does he say bathroom? Why doesn't he say 'toilet' like everyone else

    On a Mac press Cmd-Shift-4 then draw a rectangle around what you want to capture and release the mouse. Instead of going to your clipboard, the screenshot is saved to your desktop with the date and time appended.

    You could try the following: 1. reduce the size of the image 2. add a colour cast (e.g. sepia) to make it look different 3. acknowledge the website where you got it from (if 'Contact us' has failed)

    Oh, they'll get off. "Money talks"...

    Crazily, this particular coin made $576 two years ago.
  18. Peckris 2
    makes sense

    No, but in the rapid bidding maelstrom, it's good to see the actual amount and not have to recalculate every split second.

    Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically over the horizon?

    There are also some in Eastbourne, but that's old gnus.

    With decent auction houses, e.g. Noonans, the online bid window shows not only the current bid but also what that equals in terms of hammer, so you don't have to do any mental arithmetic while bidding.

    A "kitchen widow"?

    Interestingly if you look at my farthing you can see that the 6 has been rotated resulting in 2 tails. However you will also note that the 1 needs the same treatment, and the 2 is - as so often with the final digit - badly positioned. You can understand the correction of the 6 as it was needed for more than one year, but by that token you would think the 1 should have been corrected as it was the millennium digit!

    interestingly there is also an 1862 farthing with similar 6 repunch
