    I've got one of those! It stops water flowing when I turn the tap off...

    The + is in case you want to quote more than one post. When you click it a little box appears with a number which increases each time you click a + under a post. When you finally click that little box you get a post with more than one quote in it. I'll do you an example next.

    Same with 'aluminum' - it was the original British English name.

    I'd go with VG too. BTW that was a grade commonly used in Britain the late 60s as you've seen from Coin Monthly. No-one then referred to it as a "US grade", though nowadays they do.

    My understanding is that November or December 1966 was the first issue (depending whether you take the issue date or the cover date). I believe it finished just before the mid-90s but sorry I don't have more information than that.

    We are born with nothing, so if we die in debt then we've made a profit. (Anon.)

    I use my computer for both these days, and MW for 5L in the car. Sadly there isn't LW on the car radio so have to miss Test Matches when driving. Of course, you may think this is a boon...

    Yes, saying "that clears my commission/book" or similar. (I must stop watching Bargain Hunt!).

    It's always made me laugh (for several years) when Radio 5Live have a frequent jingle that says "... available on digital radio, streaming, online, podcast, smartphone..." (or words to that effect). An image comes to mind of a BBC directive saying "DON'T MENTION MEDIUM WAVE - UNDER THREAT OF SACKING!".

    Cleaning

    Peckris 2 replied to ozjohn's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    Cleaned - are you sure? I could get the same effect by using Levels in Photoshop. There's a lot of lint on the 'dull' picture though, which definitely is unsightly.

    If you surf the net you can find better pictures.

    Cleaning

    Peckris 2 replied to ozjohn's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    Agreed. I bought an UNC set of 1887 JH silver at Warwick which one or two dealers rejected as "cleaned". Well, they weren't - they had a bright 'mirror' finish, which was more pronounced in the fields than the raised designs; cleaned coins tend to show the most mirroring on the highest parts.

    More Pennies

    Peckris 2 replied to Prax's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    Agreed. The price is way too rich IMO. One thing I've noticed is how confusing those pictures are. The HT looks like a LT as the sea level isn't where Britannia's legs cross, but only because the outer portion of the leg is too faint to see. By the same token, the LT looks like a VERY low tide!

    You wouldn't need that for coins - just use the circular crop.

    I think she should look at the 'Similar sponsored items' below her listing, then she would see what true EF looks like!

    You get what you pay for!

    Me too. After a couple of years going through bank bags of pennies in the late 60s, I saw so many that I learned their characteristics almost by osmosis.

    If you have Photoshop, it's easy: 1. Use the circular marquee select tool to select the coin 2. Invert the selection (which selects everything but the coin) 3. Use Fill - Black to fill the non-coin selection with black
