    Translation: "How DARE those b45tards fight back. Ok, the second phase is that we'll go after the Dombass (which is what we were interested in all along) and when they decide they'll give it to us to stop the bombing elsewhere, we'll declare victory and withdraw"

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    yeah, I told them about the expertise on this forum. I also told them that genuine pennies don't have a bust that is so deeply engraved with such 'modeled' hair and bodice details.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I've sent a request that they remove it from the auction. It's a convincing fake to someone not experienced, but to us it's an obvious repro because we know what to look for.
  5. I have a couple of redundant computers and a few other broken electronic devices. To cut out the Royal Mint, I'm happy to swap them for an agreed number of sovereigns.
  6. I heard one "expert" claim that 7% of the world's gold is tied up in electronics.

    Crufts

    I've designed a combination shovel and plastic bag - it's for cleaning up cocker pooh.
  8. Yes, there's an obvious groove inside the obverse rim.
  9. I'd agree with that. Looks like a craftsman job, but nice all the same.
  10. Wow, that's some collection!
  11. Where are the British coins? None of the main headings features Britain.

    Crufts

    True story: Chris Eubank - he of the famous lisp - was a guest presenter on Top Of The Pops. Did the producers know in advance that Suggs's 'Cecilia' would be at Number 6???

    If you put coins in and get vouchers out, how did you get the listed coins?

    More Pennies

    "With no precise record of the number minted, and with the coin having been struck to ordinary circulation standard, it is entirely possible that one might turn up in everyday use." One wonders what the "everyday use" of a predecimal penny might be, let alone one dated 1933..

    1807 Penny

    lovely example.
  16. Yeah, but it may turn out to be as anti-climactic as the 1961 halfcrown "E.F. missing" turned out to be.

    1959 halfpenny with rotated die, normal?

    Interesting, definitely. But I'd also say that 10º is unremarkable.

    F-10 penny Repunched R & I in Victoria?

    Personally, I think repunched legends and dates of early buns are of purely academic interest. Those particular ones (the R and I) are almost undetectable anyway.

    Russians

    Hear, hear indeed. Of course, now we've left the EU, we're free.. to do absolutely phukk all about Ukrainian refugees.
  22. Normally, Firefox has a device (via the three dots in the address bar) to take a screenshot, then asks if you want "Visible", or "Whole page" i.e. the bits you normally have to scroll down for. Unfortunately, these documents have been set up in such a way that you can't do that. The other option is to see if it offers download to pdf. I haven't looked yet...
