    I saw the Mick Taylor Stones in Birmingham in 1973 - they were good yes, but compared to The Who live... well, they just weren't!

    I've seen it's pulled .... but 0 bids? How do you explain that given the above posts?

    Quite possibly the best Who concert I attended - though 1969 would run it close. Both featured 'Tommy' extensively and it's not even my favourite album!
  4. Peckris 2
    Great idea. Unfortunately due to various things like incontinence and severe fatigue I simply don't travel out of the county

    Why would they strike millions of coins then overstrike each one? No, as Martin says, it's the die that gets recut either to reuse it or to correct an error or to recut wearing characters.

    That's a VERY expensive pine plank!

    I wish! Unfortunately I'm not mobile these days.

    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.
  12. Peckris 2
    Hmm. Methinks you missed my (dreadful) pun. I'll get me coat.
  13. Peckris 2
    I think THE most obvious difference is the rim - it's very much wider on the pattern.
  14. Peckris 2
    I thought we'd already agreed it was Obverse 5 (the dink in the forehead)?
  15. Peckris 2
    I'd LOVE one in that condition! If you ever upgrade I'll happily buy that off you.
  16. Peckris 2
    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?

    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.
  18. Peckris 2
    anyone got a link?
  19. Peckris 2
    Yes, each year had 'recut waves' apparently
  20. Peckris 2
    You na' lyin'... (Think about it...!)
  21. Peckris 2
    No, I meant the one that advertises a tiny gold coin designed by 'a descendant of Pistrucci'.
  22. Peckris 2
    That one wasn't even the RM - the London Mint Office or something fatuous like that.
  23. Peckris 2
    I saw them 7 times in all, but only one of those was in the post-Moon era.
  24. Peckris 2
    Good but...
  25. Peckris 2
    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?
