    A lorry load of loo seats was stolen the same day. The police have nothing to go on.

    Lewis won easy, Verstappen 2nd, Bottas 3rd. No real surprises there, except that Vettel I think made it into the Top 10.

    I don't think trade tokens come under that law? They aren’t regal currency. As for eBay, I would guess that as long as a coin is described prominently as a repro, they probably wouldn't take any action. Probably.

    That's true but the - e.g. - repros of 1933 pennies (rather than the altered dates) or 1905 halfcrowns wouldn't fool a genuine collector for a moment, but that wouldn't stop some idiot setting a trap for the unwary beginner.

    "fake or repro" is a genuine question. If a repro and sold as such (cheaply), then it's not a fake nor is it notorious. However, if intended to deceive and sold as genuine, then it's a fake and many fakes are indeed notorious.

    Pete (here) sent me an Unc 1959S 1/- he had spare. I never got it but when I checked the tracking it had been signed for - with a squiggle. I never found out WHERE it had been delivered to but Pete had addressed it correctly. To be fair, that's the only mishap I can remember.

    fake or repro?
  9. Peckris 2
    no such number, no such zone

    or his wife does...
  11. Peckris 2
    That's a complicated question - can you unpack it?
  12. Peckris 2
    how's about that then...
  13. Peckris 2
    If you define "serious" as necessarily including all patterns...

    No, it thinks @Mr T is at Saturday 11:40, not you!! Your computer, like mine, appears to be giving the right time.

    Coincidentally, my father WAS a geneAlogist...
  16. Peckris 2
    Ah yes. Confusing that the same coin goes by two different names.

    I don't think you could ID it if in low grade? The example would have to be near to EF in order to make out the Medusa head
  18. Peckris 2
    That's not a Medusa, that's a "no colon" pattern.

    Good on you for still using it.
  21. Peckris 2
    Proof that there's one born every minute.
  22. Peckris 2
    No such thing as a geneologist!

    I can make no other comment than my iPad doesn't take crappy pictures at all, unless I've done something wrong like move or get too close or something similar.
  24. Peckris 2
    Did you mean "a couple, generations back" or "a couple OF generations back".
  25. Peckris 2
    Had to think about that one - then the penny dropped! (No, it wasn't an 1860 beaded/toothed mule).
