    Nail now firmly hammered home.

    One of Blo-Job's infamous quotes - "Scots should be exterminated" "All Liverpudlians have a victim mentality" (in relation to Hillsborough!) "picanninnies" "gangster letter boxes" etc etc.

    Sometimes rarity alone is almost enough. Look at picture postcards (which are now sent as a tiny % of olden days), and vinyl records even before the resurgence of interest in new vinyl releases. Numismatics I believe is the oldest hobby going back hundreds, maybe 000's of years?

    Yes. His prices were fair with occasional bargains. I did have to return a couple of items to him and he never quibbled and always sent a prompt refund.

    Ian Blackford - without naming him explicitly - called him a racist. The Speaker warned him, then invited him to continue with his question. Ian Blackford didn't withdraw the 'insult' and wasn't warned again. Says it all really.

    Frank and Fergie?

    I can't see his eyes, but he's definitely got legs...

    Damn - we're out of Dope!

    There's one like that for crows and vultures: KEEP CALM AND CARRION

    More likely is that it didn't meet reserve - maybe someone had expressed an interest if it didn't?

    It seems to be the "raised edge" proof which was .925. I don't know what you mean by 'pattern proof'?

    This video shows the template editor being used quite extensively: (This is for LignUp Multi Collector - was that the software you trialled?)

    Yes. You can see the 'raised edge' quite clearly on the reverse image. The legend on the obverse looks good, as do many features of the portrait, but not the hair. I think it's very much a coin that needs to be seen in hand. Currently up to £640 which seems rather tasty for a 1935 silver proof.

    You're quite right - this is an old topic! Memories of the 1970s are more vivid than those of last year...

    Either a filled die or more likely, someone removing the H

    Penny falling out of the bottom market...

    That's not good from a leading company like Baldwin's - they describe one as "fine" when it's really little better than Fair (if at all).

    That pinkish colour is a variation of digital colour - the obverse background (presumably the same as the reverse?) is noticeably more magenta than the reverse.
  20. Peckris 2
    Impossible to say, therefore the confident owner could say "not cleaned".

    Is that the same Joliffe who collaborated with Terry Pratchett on a hilarious book about cats? (The Unadulterated Cat??)

    I remember that Coin Monthly used to have a regular feature on dealers, featuring a different one every month.
  24. Peckris 2
    No, I never saw those, or even an advert for them. Possibly rare?

    7% ? Considering the vast array of exotic French/Italian/Greek etc cheeses available that seems rather low. Unless of course they count DAirylea as cheese (surely not? )
