    I reckon the seller has misread HONI as WYON.

    I'd run a mile if I saw that. Britannia fully struck up? Teeth prooflike? Sharp portrait? It screams 'fake' to me.

    Possibly he started well before 1967? But yes, in time it would have been a real pain.

    for some reason there was no Kindle ed of the last CCGB, which I think is a shocking omission.

    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

    Happy Xmas to one and all!

    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.
  22. Peckris 2
    makes sense
  23. Peckris 2
    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.
