    Coin prices continue to rise

    I'd suggest they're just flying a kite to see if anyone bites (if you'll excuse the mixed metaphor). I'd say the fact that no-one is watching tells you all you need to know.
  2. that's because it was never a single - just a track on one of the Trojan compilations
  3. Absolutely nothing compared to Wreck A Buddy by the Soul Sisters! "I need a man to wreck ′im buddy. A big, strong man to wreck 'Im buddy. And if he′s ugly, I don't mind - He has a dick and I want to grind I want to grind, I want to grind"
  4. Caravan named one of their albums Cunning Stunts. Mind you, this was the band that had In The Land Of Grey And Pink, and If I Could Do It All Again, I'd Do It All Over You, among others...
  5. I'd say it was a simple and straightforward repunching of the 8 and 6, a very very common phenomenon with early bronze.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I did too and got a very dismissive reply.
  7. Yes, well struck specimens of 1920-1926 are worth getting, as the shallow portrait isn't always well struck, and wears very quickly even where the reverse appears UNC.

    more FAKES

    Astronomical. Die imperfections I can live with, but not identical digs which - being incuse - cannot have come from anything to do with the die.
  9. They were totally inexperienced and green, so they ended up red-faced and far from 'in the pink'. In fact they were quite blue, and decided to leave to take part in the #BlackBallsMatter protest.
  10. OMG, please tell me that's not real!!
  11. The link isn't a jpeg - it's a webp that my Mac can do nothing with.

    Coronation coins

    Why is the sovereign made of copper???

    1920 Half Crown, Superb

    The weakness at the top of the shield is perfectly normal for these issues. Nice coin.

    Rearrange these words to make a sentence: "well their they arses covered have"

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    It's a very nice example but you're right - well overpriced. 1915, 1916, and 1918 are the easiest to find in high grade.

    1920 Half Crown, Superb

    I remember that his prices were fair for the coins he sold, but the grades were VERY optimistic. You didn't get the bargain you thought you were getting, but you didn't pay over the odds.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Done.

    100% agreed. How can a 'thing' that doesn't have any consciousness or self-awareness match even the most stupid employee of a TPG? As for 'chat bots' on websites, you can express the problem clearly and get a somewhat irrelevant reply. So you express it in a different way and get the same useless reply. My instinct is to say "connect me to a human being" right at the start and repeat it as many times as it takes for Robbectomy to understand and put me through to someone who is actually alive. Yeah, I agree about Facebook. Someone in a conversation mentioned the motto over the gates of Auschwitz but gave it in English; I merely expanded that by saying the original was ARBEIT MACHT FREI - result? A 24 hour ban for 'hate speech'.

    More Pennies

    In my opinion they ARE the same - it's the different rates of wear that may account for the minute differences.

    Coin prices continue to rise

    I remember toying with the idea of buying a few sovs in 1998 when the bullion price was down to £55. WHY DIDN'T I...

    Coin prices continue to rise

    This has happened before in times of high inflation - specifically the mid-70s; a few years later prices had fallen back again, thought not to the levels of the immediate post-decimal collapse.
