I wish! Unfortunately I'm not mobile these days. -
Alas poor Yorick, I knew him HORATIO ... amazing how many people get that wrong! I assume that's what you were referring to? Yes, the word criteria used as a singular (like phenomena) is almost as annoying as 'attendee'. It also trumps my degree in 'Roman and Hellenic Studies' from Birmingham University! But at least we were taught modern Greek by a Communist refugee from the Colonels.

It means you offer it to me first, and in the unlikely event I'd refuse, at least I'd be head of the queue!

Shows the differences between collectors - it would have been my first thought! But then I am a type collector now. -

Pattern 1951 Crown, What Do You See?
Peckris 2 replied to VickySilver's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I think THE most obvious difference is the rim - it's very much wider on the pattern. -

I thought we'd already agreed it was Obverse 5 (the dink in the forehead)? -
I'd LOVE one in that condition! If you ever upgrade I'll happily buy that off you.

Ok, here's a question that seems obvious (to me!) - why didn't you decide to sell most of the collection apart from one choice example of each type? -
1953 VIP Proof set
Peckris 2 replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Thanks Mike. It's hard to determine a VIP proof when there were normal proofs in that year. Why wouldn't they issue VIPs with early strikes of an 'ordinary' proof set? In any case, the real determiner - the penny - is the normal proof issue, as has been pointed out. -

You na' lyin'... (Think about it...!) -
Oh god, I hope not! It's bad enough we have to put up with the appalling abortion of a word "attendee".
-
Well, yeah, but the non-existant word 'inheritee' had been used so many times above! I just couldn't let it rest...
-
No, I meant the one that advertises a tiny gold coin designed by 'a descendant of Pistrucci'.
-
That one wasn't even the RM - the London Mint Office or something fatuous like that.

I saw them 7 times in all, but only one of those was in the post-Moon era. -

Good but... -
Why is Tony Robinson coming to mind? Mind you, that other advert for a grossly overpriced gold coin does quote the name Pistrucci .. wonder who that's aimed at?

I don't have my Obverse 5 to hand but from memory it looks right. -
