  1. The pig looks more intelligent
  2. My mistake - I was looking at the R which seems to be over a B but perhaps THAT's the cud?
  3. I read it as "30 years after 1988", i.e. around 2018.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Maybe it's the photography ? but the pennies look polished to buggery.
  7. 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...
  8. It was Michael-Roo.
  9. OMG. You mean She does it herself, by hand?
  10. Snow White and the 6 Dwarves. Dopey's been arrested.
  11. "Damn it officer - I thought you said a ROOTING enquiry".
  12. Damn! That's 50p I'll never see again.
  13. You'll be offering one for sale next then?
  14. He apologised after kicking you in the balls?
  15. 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.
  16. I'll have a go tomorrow - but please post again so it appears in my unread list
  17. Those pictures are a bit dark Jerry. Would you like me to brighten them and repost?
  18. That article is from 2007. Let's hope the situation has changed, though I wouldn't bet my house on it.
  19. My guess is that the RM wouldn't have any use for the item, so the first thing they might do is notify the owner that it's turned up and will be handed over on repayment of the compensation.
  20. You can keep them upstairs. Or downstairs. But no way are they going anywhere near my lady's chamber.
  21. I believe it was The Who who prompted the invention of the famous 'Marshall Stack'?
  22. "Extremely rare and more so in this very high grade." The "and more so" should be omitted, then it would be true.
  23. Not Jim "Mr Amplifier, Lord of Loud" Marshall?
