    I heard one "expert" claim that 7% of the world's gold is tied up in electronics.

    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.

    I've designed a combination shovel and plastic bag - it's for cleaning up cocker pooh.

    Yes, there's an obvious groove inside the obverse rim.

    I'd agree with that. Looks like a craftsman job, but nice all the same.

    Wow, that's some collection!

    Where are the British coins? None of the main headings features Britain.

    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?

    "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..

    lovely example.
  12. Peckris 2
    Yeah, but it may turn out to be as anti-climactic as the 1961 halfcrown "E.F. missing" turned out to be.

    Are they Maundy only perchance?

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

    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.

    Hear, hear indeed. Of course, now we've left the EU, we're free.. to do absolutely phukk all about Ukrainian refugees.

    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...

    Do you mean double struck?
  22. Peckris 2
    No meaningful pictures. Oops about the date of the crown!
  23. Peckris 2
    The problem with that is - as I've said - that there are PL examples of other denominations and dates (I can't remember exactly, but I do have a halfcrown and sixpence from the 50s, one I'm sure is 1955). If all those are polished dies then you'd have to ask why. On the other hand, perhaps 1961 is a special case given the PL crowns struck in New York (Expo?).

    "Know what that Chisholm said? He said 'I know how Arthur Daley will die. He'll fall off the back of a lorry'. Bit strong. Definitely out of order..."

    not quite with you, old chap?
