I kind of agree with you on many of the micro varieities, but I think the O'NE should be included. It has been in Sprink for a long time, and has a value of 100-1500 pounds! I agree. And there are serious schools of thought that say it's not a flaw as the dot is too round; they say it's more likely to be a die identification mark of some sort. As for the 1946 ONE' - Gouby always had that, Freeman has it as a note, Spink included it after I nagged them (well, I sent them Gouby's work on it), and it's significant and obvious enough to be collected. Gouby in fact rates it as one degree of rarity higher than a 1926ME!

I'm sure it is! But a 'bot' isn't people, though people certainly created it, for the purpose of making lots of money out of spam and botnets.

I just downloaded the Kindle app for my Mac - it works fine, so that looks like the way for me to go Did you Download the kindle Version Peck or the ePub version, i downloaded the kindle app, but just wanting to make sure which to download I downloaded the Kindle version Dave, but I also had to download the (free) Kindle app for my Mac, also from Amazon. I'm sure there's also a PC version of it.

Not a good idea posting a raw email address in any forum. Admins - do you think you could amend this with an ' AT ' instead of '@' and ' DOT ' instead of '.'? Bots trawl forums like these all the time looking for valid emails among other things.

Link That has to be the worst condition fake I've ever seen!

It's nice to have it on my computer so I can look up prices and varieties for this forum without having to leave my chair First impressions? The digital version is as good as the paper version, perhaps even better as you can click straight to the denomination you want. Second impressions - Chris still hasn't updated 20th Century bronze penny varieties! We have the 1920 unique obverse, 1922/27 reverse, 1933, 1952, 1954 for example, but NOT the 1946 ONE' flaw, the 1953 George VI reverse, or 1911 Gouby X. Still a superb value buy though and WELL worth the money (the Kindle edition is between £4 - £5, how can you go wrong?)

Nice!

I'd say GVF/EF or NEF/EF. You can probably ignore Spink values (somewhat hyped, I'd say) and rate it somewhere between £150 and getting on for £300. But I may be way out of touch; eBay realised prices may be more accurate, though they are usually less good specimens on there. Here's one with BIN of £169, not quite as good as yours http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1797-KING-GEORGE-III-CARTWHEEL-TWOPENCE-Good-Example-/390718230395?pt=UK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL&hash=item5af89f0f7b And here's one a bit better, ridiculously overpriced at £675 : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1797-TWOPENCE-GEORGE-III-CARTWHEEL-SOHO-ISSUE-HIGH-GRADE/380780901773?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D286%26meid%3D3492024611283833717%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1048%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D390718230395%26

Do you have pictures?

You may be able to get iBooks from the App Store but I would be very careful to ensure it works under your current operating system. Otherwise, go for the Kindle version. Alternatively, buy a new super-duper Mac. That is what I did after my old one start to go on the blink after 5 years of intensive use. Edit: looks fully illustrated. I have a 2011 Core i5 iMac - that's pretty super-duper! Unfortunately, I'd have to abandon Photoshop (CS2 - one of my 'killer' apps) if I had anything later than Snow Leopard, as it needs Rosetta in order to run. Yep .. that is one of the problems with Macs. That said, on my 2008 Mac (the one I just replaced), I started with Leopard, and upgraded through Lion. My new machine has Maverick but I had no problem loading Photoshop Elements (v 10.0) from my old machine onto the new one. CS2 does appear to be available for later Macs so that might be worth looking at. That's what I'm using. Unfortunately - thanks to the infinite 'wisdom' of Adobe - it's not a Universal Binary but a PowerPC app. In fact, I'd need to upgrade to (I think) CS5 to have a version that will run in Lion or later, i.e. an Intel version. Curiously, Elements 6, which I also have, IS a Universal Binary but sadly it won't support my old scanner which the full Photoshop will, so I need both apps.

I have a Kindle and also a Mac - which version should I get? (I'm running OS X 10.6 not Lion or anything later, so I probably don't have access to iBooks, though I do use the App Store). And are the digital versions fully illustrated like the paper ones? 'Scuse the questions, but I'd like to get a digital copy

My mother - looking for her own lines in Devon - found one of my dad's ancestor's marriages there, after they had scoured Lancashire which where all his ancestors came from. It turned out he'd got married in Devon on being demobbed after the Peninsula Wars. So never give up, but accept you may need to cast the net wider and also rely on lucky accidents in record offices.

And I would like to thank YOU for your efforts in the canned processed pork export market. Have this:

It must be a very small space! I had a look at my 'small' Abafil case this morning and it's probably about 10 inches wide? It seems small though.

Doh...I only just got that one... Do share the joke! I was being quite serious. I've stopped using my mother's maiden name on most sites ever since my sister started doing genealogy on ancestry.com and posting family details that anyone who had quite basic details could research.

Link Absolutely stunning, I have just got back from A & E as I stumbled and twisted my ankle while gazing at it's beauty on my iPhone. Stunning is right. The doctor diagnosed severe concussion, so I have to take it easy for quite a while now.

Nope.

I've tried It's a hard life, Gary, but someone's got to live it! I've tried an eal bed, but I find I toss and squirm and wriggle all night long

If you use ANY genealogy site, then whatever you do, stop using your mother's maiden name as a security 'clincher' on other sites e.g. banking - someone could break your security very very easily. Seriously.

God, that's a hard question! I never was a total date run-ner. With pennies, at school, yes, and I do have a bronze date run from 1860. With other denominations it has been a patchier ride : halfpennies from 1937, with types before that. Sixpences and halfcrowns from 1911, with types before that. But apart from bronze pennies, and George V last issue halfcrowns, I'm not bothered one tiny jot about complete date runs anymore. From sometime in the 1990s I changed my focus to being a type collector instead (though I'd become a haphazard one for years before), and set my sights on early milled onwards. Unfortunately, with my current need to have minimum VF to enjoy a type coin, I've lots of gaps - the whole of James II, and George I silver for example. Having said that, it's easy to cheat for early milled : one can say "one of each monarch in each metal", allowing for the fact that there are only two different reverse designs for copper from Charles 2 to 1775, and - give or take roses, plumes, LIMA, SSC, etc - one basic design for all silver coins (excluding the affordable small / Maundy denominations).

Here's a site that sells them : http://www.coin.com/cases/ Strangely, the price is quoted in dollars, but as the company name is ------------------.Ltd (not .Inc) so they must be British. I notice they sell quarter size trays. I realise from the pictures that I have an Abafil case with trays (didn't know that was their name). However my trays are around 8" or 9" on their longest side so I guess I have a larger size.

Yeah, but if we didn't have coins to aspire to, or dream about, it wouldn't be much fun now would it? True, true!

Well, here's a Yum and a half, but sadly I don't have one:
