They are obviously different dies, but all conform to type. What is your concern?

Do you mean either of this? Only one picture.

Thanks. I think that's it, but I didn't hit the boxes at the top. Don't know why? Presumably it's a case of hitting two keys at once.

Help!! I've hit something and don't know what. Not looking good. Trying to write a document in word, but now it puts a line through changes and highlights in red and it puts a vertical line by the side. I can't get rid of it, nor do a copy and paste to show a picture. How do I get rid of it without discarding the whole document and losing pages of data If I can't get rid I've just wasted 4 hours. It also came up with lots of red boxes and horizontal lines if that helps. Everything I write is now in red, despite changing the colour to black - to no avail. Thanks.

Oh good. Mine's a pint. I smell a pub on the green.

Not for the first time I can't help due to technical issues. Is there any way of not using Photobucket? All I see is a blank screen when you post using a link.

We seem to be nearing the final destination, so common to many forums - the obligatory spat where one comment invariably finds an offendee and is returned with interest. Never happens at coin club meetings where people are face to face Please mention Hitler sooner rather than later so that we can move on. Thank you.

I believe it was my picture they used from the first page. I'll get my lawyers on the case. And yes, I do have an example..... that one.

If you have a lot of spare trays then make your own cabinet. That's what my son did for me. Killed two birds with one stone. It did something with the pile of trays that were always being moved and dumped somewhere else, and from his perspective solved the perennial problem of what to give me for Christmas. It has been posted before, but here it is again. For anyone thinking of carving the front panel of a hardwood cabinet, I have been assured that it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Yep. It's a no-brainer for a TPG.

Yes, but at least he/she can sleep safe and sound now in the knowledge that the US Mint is producing genuine coins and not copies.

Ah, thanks. Given the herd mentality of social media, I thought it was the in vogue or politically correct method of addressing people.

What's all this @ business? The latest must do in online etiquette?

I could use a few Celtic and early Saxon/Mercian/Northumbrian pennies because that section is a bit bare at the moment. Now Stewartby is over, I can concentrate on other areas.

You're lucky. They have managed to drop me from the mailing list. When St. James's split from Baldwins a short while back, Steve Fenton was encouraging people to ask for a catalogue if they didn't receive one as he tried to rebuild his mailing list. Meanwhile I continued to receive both St. James's and Baldwins catalogues. Now they have joint sales I have been dropped from the list, or at least I didn't get the last one, and by extension won't receive this one either. I don't think I've offended anyone recently. On the plus side, there is no shortage of auctions to peruse, so it relieves the reading pressure a bit. Anything of interest in it? I can't summon the enthusiasm to spend all day looking through the online catalogue - I'm only expected to be on this planet for three score years and ten.

P1974.

I was about to say the same thing. 1933 pennies seem to be acceptable depsite being copies and the same goes for a 1952 penny or anything Edward VIII. The best thing that most people could do is buy some examples on a regular basis so they know what copies are out there and can identify the individual characteristics. When they come from China delivered for a quid each or sometimes less, the knowledge gained far outweighs any arguments that it is money wasted. It's far cheaper than paying tens or hundreds of pounds for a dodgy piece.

It's a lot better than it was. The old system was ripped up (that was when they offered free bidding through the Saleroom) and a new one installed which has been in use for at least a couple years.

Discretionary, as are just about everybody else.

No it wasn't.

I bought a lot to sell, a lot on commission and a lot for me. Pushed the boat out on lot 1941 after the penny dropped. The ticket that came with the annulet marked halfgroat was incorrectly dated a day too late, but after a bit of thinking established that the coin is ex Hugh Howard (d.1738) lot 40 part, which explained Webb's note on the ticket that the coin was not listed in Hawkins. Hawkins published in 1841, but Howard's collection wasn't sold until 1874, 136 years after his death. There are a couple more examples around, but not a lot. Underbidder on the Aylesbury Edward the Confessor and the Richard III mule groat. I couldn't understand the 1826 either.

Yep. That's wrong too.

Stewartby part 6 of 5 All the things that arrived too late for inclusion in the relevant sale and his milled.

I've not seen much worth responding to either. A few what is its, which once answered don't leave any room for discussion. Even penny posts seem to have dried up - is the end of the world nigh? Still, at least there's an auction tomorrow.

You often see British overseas territory coins in your change. Although not strictly legal tender, their identical sizes means few people object. As to whether they are worth keeping, there is no right or wrong way to collect. If you are happy doing so, that's your prerogative.
