Got to get me one of those. I don't have a disgracefully worn base metal counterfeit shilling weighing 4.4g. If it was gold and scrap, anybody should realise that the best way you realise value is to sell it to a bullion dealer. Nobody would bid over the odds for scrap on eBay, or at least they shouldn't do if they had any sense.

Forget it. The other years advertised from him also use the 1953 obverse, so you can have a full date run with the wrong obverse - not. I guarantee you won't receive what is pictured. He probably sold a 1953 at some time.

Until you are looking for one.......... coz you sure aren't going to find most of them in your change when you need one. I concur regarding the first bit though.

Desperate need for a high resolution image of a York 1D halfcrown please, should anyone have one. The picture I'm stuck with at the moment is that in Besly's 1984 BNJ article (see below) which is worse than useless. The BM's isn't imaged on line and nor is the Hunterian's. I'm basically hoping that someone has the Brooker coin, otherwise it will be a case of trying to persuade the Yorkshire Museum to give me a picture or allow me to take one as I sure aint going to pay the BM £50 a side at the last count for pictures. Please, anybody, even if you have the grotty one in Glens 13th March 1974 lot 316.

I would suspect not given the price of a typical thing on Alibaba is a quid or so. That doesn' cover the silver cost.

On balance though it is going to be mostly silver and kosher, or no silver and iffy.

£1.65 is less than a pint. It's hardly going to break the bank. Most people pee that money away on a daily basis.

Somebody is having a laugh, either at the mint in 1965, or post mint in a shed somewhere. The obverse is the 1953 one with BRITT OMN. Where is the coin? If on ebay, then someone is probably pulling a fast one. If you have it, then you should be able to check for a join where one side has been dropped into the other (probably the obv looking at the beading). If on ebay for a quid, then buy it and satisfy your curiosity. It aint right whatever

The thing is though, 'jospereir' has a few of the double sided ones available. Chances of receiving 3 in change is somewhere south of zero, so he's making them, and that is a criminal act. I'd be tempted to say he also made the one with three missing bits - perish the thought.

OK, I thought you had to be a member of Facebook and a 'friend' to connect to others. Thanks, so it's not necessarily malicious and could even possibly be a sensible discussion. That hadn't occurred to me.

A query. Why would my website report that Facebook referred a visitor to my site when I don't have an account with them? Facebook or someone at FB trying to access the account? I don't have or want anything to do with FB, so they would have no reason to do this as far as I can see and without an account I didn't ought to exist in their mind.

Charles I F3/1 shilling with a legend error. They appear to have had a bad time around the anchor period (8th May 1638 - 4th July 1639), because there is also a CHRISO error (cf. Brooker 519) and sixpences, both regular and Briot issues reading CHISTO. It's a common type, but obviously scarcer with the error.

I've had two sales this week off the site - both fraudulent. Get more of those than genuine sales. People must think you were born yesterday, like the idiot 5 years ago who made two purchases 13 months apart giving a different address, but only changed the last digit on his mobile contact number, and then 6 months after that made a third purchase but used the same email address he had used 19 months previously. Sometimes you fear for the mental capacity of this country.

I did notice that everything on the recipe pages was accessible through links. My programming skills aren't up to putting ads in though. I'm not sure I can relate to or cope with social media either. Maybe one day...... Sorry John. The topic in the op has wandered off course - not for the first time.

Apposite seller id though. Wollongongcashexpress will more than adequately summarise his cash flow if he can sell at those prices.

That certainly saves a lot of legwork. Presumably having ad-blocker installed would not count as a view? If it doesn't then I can see the potential from the poster's side. I have made 9539 posts as I write. Where's my cut?

I had a quick look through the income report and I still can't see why someone would pay them to post a recipe. Who pays for these things? Father Christmas? I guess success comes from working hard, but it would require a huge amount of canvassing to get people to advertise with you and then you take your eye off the ball and the business suffers. A plus for them is that everyone has to eat, so any company can advertise in the knowledge that their customers cook food, so it has to be potentially profitable, but surely nobody consults a random person on the internet to find out how to cook? That's just plain weird. Better off getting a wife that can cook, or at least buy yourself a can opener, after all, cooking is about satisfying hunger with a palatable dish and isn't about creating an artistic masterpiece, despite what the pretentious t**ts say. I think coins would struggle though. According to the Shopify home page, I had someone looking for Glendining 1989 catalogues today. I have 1989s and just about every other year since the mid-70s complete or nearly so, but not enough time to go through and list them, let alone the other auction houses. How are you supposed to find time to list dozens of auction catalogues, recipes or whatever every day and still find time to witter on inanely about them at the same time? And ultimately, nobody would pay for an average daily viewer count of 30 or so people. It is little wonder John took his website down recently

Just seen that nobody has replied. Edward III Class C pre-treaty. Cross 1 with wedge tailed R.

Aren't most of the mega-viewing figures mostly like facebook postings of people getting pissed in Ibiza or the asian idiot with the silly dance? I'm just trying to imagine how you would get hundreds of thousands of people watching something remotely practical and I'm struggling to think of anything common to so many people that requires advice. Certainly in numismatics, the two or three dozen daily visits to my site might generate two or three views if I posted anything. That's why I use this forum instead if I want to say something useful as more people read it. I can't see a blog having any traction when people aren't interested in the first place. I know GC posts things on facebook as he told me and he gets a few hundred views a day, but the response is akin to Sun readers buying the newspaper for page 3. Reading the content is the last thing on their mind. All they want is a pretty picture, which frankly is wasting everybody's time.

Sorry, this is beyond me as I don't understand blogs or much of the vacuous nonsense that emanates from my computer or television screen, but what purpose is served by posting an 8 minute clip on you tube about unboxing coins? What could anyone hope to learn from it? Goods inwards and goods out department activities aren't normally intellectually taxing.

Have you not answered your own question? i.e. it reads correctly.

With the odd spike pointing down, was this originally an 1861 die, filled and recut? Is that shape of 3 seen anywhere else to suggest it is a complete punch?

Naughty baddy to put him down.

D over B in the obverse legend.

I'll have a go at resizing but the biggest problem is still overlaying images and making them semi-transparent. I got a copy of Serif 6 that you used a while back only to find that there isn't anything in the index about overlaying images. Going to need a more appropriate program, or at least one that has clear instructions. I could do so much more with the right tools. Computers - the bane of my life
