  1. That is honest Pete.After Mrs Peter passed a drink was an easy option. We always had wine with dinner and putting a case of wine in the weekly shop was automatic. When she died many nights I drank myself to sleep.At Xmas my mother made a comment and she didn't buy me my compulsory malt. That hit hard so I decided to give myself a kick up the rear. I haven't touched a drop since. I do still love a cigar rolled on a virgins inner thigh though.
  2. Nice bit of history. If I was a Charlie fanatic (aka TG) I would want that.
  3. Good luck Swanny.I really do hope you get the right outcome. I would never trust them following what I saw them do to a 1865 1/4d.(Slabbed a heavily edged knocked example,coveniently hiding the knock).
  4. Hope one of the big 3 from the States have got it ,employ correct staff and service customers US style. If they propose NORMAL SERVICES they can do one.
  5. You've probably seen this Chris? http://www.coinsgbforum.com/?showtopic=809
  6. Lovely tone Pete,from the picture 65 seems harsh.
  7. I would hate the forum to go the way of facebook....I don't bloody want to know when people visit some yang tang(credit to Pete) restaurant. Pete has given me food for thought though and I intend to post a few tasters from my coin annals.
  8. Crikey,as Pete would say "Hat off" A great loss but achieved so much in his life.
  9. = Good Extra Crap
  10. The 1884 2/6d....well it's round,nice rims but ....it's just a crap example.
  11. Tell him to put in the next DNW so they can tell him the good news. Clive, I would love to see his pictures.
  12. Have a great day John. I love to see us Britishers playing good football. Here's to a Wales Iceland final.
  13. Has Ireland become one? If it is like "spot the ball" N Yorkshire can do one.....I had better let my Sis know....Is York fair still on?
  14. Oh dear...I must be turning completist although I believe the cut halves & quarters do round off a King and mint nicely.
  15. Triple tie ribbon 1736 Colin.Nothing to write home about so sniped accordingly.(F with eye appeal)....Typical coin overlooked by seller(who is a busy ebay dealer). I did get a nice cut John 1d Ipswich mint delivered for the price of a fish supper
  16. Take up fishing and British sports cars as well. My rods are in the lounge and I'm soon off to the river. Afterwards a little bit of work,tinker with the MG and then settle down to my coins.
  17. Hi Roger, If you could upload the spreadsheet of dates we can help....over 200 Silver Jubilee crowns would of cost £50+ in 1977 and probably worth that now.. It does sound like your parents did an interest in coins so you never know.
  18. Maybe all the unidentified coins coming out of the woodwork on ebay gives hope to all, however I was recently 2nd on a recent "rarer" 1/4d (bid trebled in last 10 seconds). Well done Jerry for your recent successes.
  19. Dave....Are you unlucky Alf perchance? http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2yjcbz_unlucky-alf-bus-stop-very-funny_fun Oh Bugger.
  20. Probably dodged a bullet there Nick.Check his feedback. If it was dug I would like a FLO report and if appearing out of thin air "provenance". Why would an authentic coin only be put on ebay Au?
  21. C$18.99 BIN on Ebay.com
  22. Blimey...this is quick...and no I haven't signed it or intend to do so. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/131215
  23. Women's tokens were replaced by buisness cards left in phone boxes.I know a chap who collected these
  24. Shame about online coins,I did buy a few coins and would see Andy at the Midlands. I liked the format although a lot of rubbish never sold and good pictures were rare.I believe Megan emigrated,I think he had a coin shop in Canterbury. I still occasionally search VCOINS but my favourite dealer (Barry Murphy) has packed in and joined NCG.In the days of old when the £ was strong I repatriated a fair bit of copper.His knowledge was also top notch with ancients.
  25. I hope the package holiday wallahs had changed up their holiday £. I'm looking forward to the design of the new 50p and the Yanks will be buying all our coins.That is all.....
