  1. I agree. 'Literally' has become one of those redundant words which 9 times out of 10 can simply be removed without altering the intended meaning. Another verbal villain is 'awesome', and sadly I've now almost become inured to 'absolutely' as an alternative for 'yes'. As four spell cheques, eye agree that their ewes is kneaded.
  2. I've just googled this and it seems that there are some restrictions - but any such are due to Covid.
  3. Forgeries often look soft and a bit blurred. But a deliberate use of the "wrong" reverse design is the biggest factor.
  4. Not as good as David Cameron...
  5. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165194715848 😄
  6. OMG. Even if you move the decimal point one place to the left, it's still optimistic.
  7. there are some very nice 1922s, here's one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/294546630388?hash=item449458e6f4:g:Ho8AAOSwPY9hkFVH
  8. Mungo Park was an Africa explorer, but I don't know about sets.
  9. What are you trying to learn? I'm assuming that the small S below the horse's rear hoof is the Sydney mintmark. Also, the reverse design is noticeably smaller than on the regular London issue: However, this is the first I've heard that there was a Sydney pattern, so there's not much I can add. I assume it's very rare.
  10. Not to mention the vital importance of capital letters, as in "I helped my uncle jack off a horse"
  11. Surely "twat" only contains four letters?
  12. Well, you're buying a penny, so what else would you pay in?
  13. Yes I agree - nice replicas from the same original, but that's all they are.
  14. Ah, got you. So you managed to sell it for £8000 then? This one is a new one, I take it - you really are lucky, finding two 1933 pennies...
  15. Don't worry - they'll reappear under a different name...
  16. It took me a couple of minutes to get "Dafuk"
  17. That looks like a classic tetradrachm (or similar) from the Philip of Macedon era. There are many variations on the 'head obverse / eagle reverse' design. HOWEVER, to have three that are absolutely identical doesn't ring true (if you'll excuse the pun). Just as no two hammered medieval coins are identical due to striking methods, so the same applies to ancient coins. Put the three side by side and take a photo, but crop out the vast border area you've got, and the site should accept it (500k per post is the limit). You can always post the reverse in a separate post in the same topic.
  18. @copper123 Perhaps you also know the lyrics to 'No Bidder, No Cry'?
  19. No-one did bid £8k on it. Well, no-one apart from dimond girl aka marleybob
  20. Sadly they promised the same thing in ?2009 but b*gger all happened, except that felling got worse. Brazil has gone from being a net absorber of CO2 to being a net emitter.
  21. Me too, but Waitrose is also good if I can't get SH
  22. Yes I have goats milk too, and goats cheese and butter. The only cow product I use is cream which doesn't have lactose.
  23. Oatly is good stuff, I've tried it.
  24. I'm wondering if it's an eBay thing? In other words, if you offer something at a high price and it stays unsold, perhaps you get some kind of improved status as a seller though I can't think what..
