  1. probably resin of some kind? if genuine it would have been worth a lot more than that. sad, though.
  2. VERY strange. Blackened considerably.
  3. I was in Birmingham in the 70s and much of the 80s. I remember M&B, Ansells, and Banks's - of which Banks's was by far the best. I don't remember ever seeing Bathams.
  4. Better than Banks's?
  5. Oh come on! Trump has never made a sandwich in his life - he has minions aka family to do that.
  6. I think it would have been funny if they HAD put it in 'Junk'.
  7. The pig looks more intelligent
  8. My mistake - I was looking at the R which seems to be over a B but perhaps THAT's the cud?
  9. I read it as "30 years after 1988", i.e. around 2018.
  10. I'm not convinced by it. The lower serif of the R has a cud extending right into the middle of the B. Extend it the other way and it could give the illusion of the base of a B beneath the R.
  11. It looks like a repro to me. That's based on nothing more than 'intuitive feel' but also I've seen plenty of repros that look just like that. And it's a perfect centred strike, and UNC - just seems wrong.
  12. Maybe it's the photography ? but the pennies look polished to buggery.
  13. Not a problem - Doc's exempt, being an NHS worker However, which of the Magnificent Seven will have to take a hike? And even 6 Brides can not get together with 6 Brothers...
  14. It was Michael-Roo.
  15. OMG. You mean She does it herself, by hand?
  16. Snow White and the 6 Dwarves. Dopey's been arrested.
  17. "Damn it officer - I thought you said a ROOTING enquiry".
  18. Damn! That's 50p I'll never see again.
  19. You'll be offering one for sale next then?
  20. He apologised after kicking you in the balls?
  21. Scanners - e.g. Canon - will scan at at least 1200 dpi which is good, especially if you gently lay several coins on the glass before scanning. Pros of them: the coins are absolutely in a completely flat plane and they're easy to set up and use, and attached to your computer. Cons of them: the resulting scans are dismal for lustre, and can be very flat, though you can lift them in software.
  22. I'll have a go tomorrow - but please post again so it appears in my unread list
  23. Those pictures are a bit dark Jerry. Would you like me to brighten them and repost?
  24. That article is from 2007. Let's hope the situation has changed, though I wouldn't bet my house on it.
