Happy birthday barnacle bill.We all have crystal balls

As long as you don't price them at more than face.

Typical Rangers / Celtic riots in St Georges Square. The yes vote had been having it large for the last few days. A member from my coin forum was abused by that mob because he refused one of their leaflets & he was with his wife and kids. He is as Scottish as they come but also British Over 300 years of the Union must not be thrown away. We have 3 cars live in a village and can get about.Our bus service has been shredded over the last few years so some of the poorer (mainly old can't get about) Vote yes for an independent East Anglia.

Apparently toys have been seen raining down on Berwick on Tweed.

I can direct you to Colin cookes site where he has a section called collections. Look at Dr Basil Nicholsons Collection of half pennies.

I've treated a few 1937 crowns which have isolated staining. Never a full dip.

Some collectors relish proofs.I do have a few but my penchant is currency. You've dipped your toe.

I forgot about until noon.The couldn't get on.

Doesn't seem a price. Nice coin. You can see what the hammer price at London coins. Then you have to pay juice.

The 1st one looks too clean.

This beauty is on sale from one of our forum members. http://www.pennycrowncoins.co.uk/shopping/pgm-more_information.php?id=2065&=SID

I didn't realise you were 90 something!! Sometimes I feel it at 3:35am...all hell broke loose because our springer has perfected opening doors and followed by the cat and kitten straight on the bed.Mrs Peter blamed me.My darling daughters thought it was cold and put the heating on.bah humbug.I do like a sloppy kiss is bed and pussey but not at 3:30am.

You will have to pay import duties soon.

I like truhpenny bits. I collect because i can. At the grand old age of 50 something my sister bought me a 1914 shilling 40 years ago.As a butchers boy next to a coin shop my Saturday wages went quickly I was allowed to lock up and was allowed to take a Sunday roast home. Even better if I slipped 2lbs sausages into my donkey jacket i had made the buggers at 6am.

Maybe your name puts me off...Treasure hunter? Our window cleaner knew I liked coins so he brought me a few to ID. He is a night hawker He now has the books and researches the coins. Sunday afternoons are booked up.At least he is putting a bloody good collection together. It doesn't end up on ebay.

I saw a load of bands and found my 1st love at a gig in Cambridge. The Ramones was the loudest blast ever and the corn exchange was like one big toilet. I have a tear in my eye. My ears still shudder to this day.

John Peel and my trusty radio cassette. I also went to the local record shop and always bought the 12" singles. I was a coin collecting punk.(16 years old in 77)

Don't forget us farthing boys. I would send everything else to the pot.

I like it and Newcastle is a difficult one.

Heading oop Norf later after my jabs.Is it still LSD north of Peterborough? Welcome Chris

I think it would be a good idea to start a thread on Chinese fakes of UK coins(SEUK you are OK I'm not out to hang contemporary counterfeits) 1 1763 Northumberland shilling 2 Gothic Victorian Crown 3 Edward V11 1905 halfcrown 4 1798 George 111 guineas 5 Victoria crowns-1887 to 1900 6 Henry V111 groats 7 1818 George 111 halfcrown 8 1819 George 111 halfcrown there are the other fakes which are well known but not necessarily of Chinese origin. Ashmore coins.Museum reproductions. Look out for Copy,R,WRL(Westair reproduction coins)discreetly marked and a pewter 1562 (sixpence size) coin.This has a heart shaped indentation on the reverse (top left hand corner) The Chinese are also faking sovereigns of different mints. If anyone can add more Chinese fakes which are fooling experienced collectors and dealers please list them (start at 9 please so we can produce a logical list).We can link these back to examples of the various fakes.

It is worth trying verdicare.

Stop that Stuart. I was polishing my car yesterday and Mrs Peter brought me a garden seat so my back would be OK.

I've got a bag of 25 of these left(well small magnifiers with a light source) I sold 5 on Ebay so these are now all free to me.
