Definitely NOT

I also think we in the West tend to disregard the incredible contribution of the Red Army in the east. Ultimately the real victors were the US and the USSR.

Seems to be the norm that monarchs and popes choose a name on their accession. I think I read somewhere that Charles would go for George VII.

I think Popjoy Mint produced a catalogue a few years ago

Surely a pattern with veil head obverse IIRC

Likewise the 1913 “mules” can be considered as normal, not accidental

You want us to stop talking about pennies!!!!! ?

The inexplainable ones are the high tide bronze coins of 1897, why just this year?

My first home pc was a BBC with a cassette tape, first at work was an Apple ][ with a Z80 card running CP/M

I have always considered the 1882 Jamaican CuNi penny without an H to be similar, inconceivable that the mint would produce then in the middle of its refurbishment to split a total Mintage of 48,000

That was my understanding too.

Interesting listing on Ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mega-Rare-1876-without-the-H-Victoria-Penny-in-very-nice-grade-FREEMAN-ND-p1/312207155131?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 listed as 1876 no H penny, k Gouby illustrates one from the Bamford collection, but states it was regarded by him as die fill Are any known?

Back in the early eighties we spent £1000 on a state of the art Tandon AT, and a further £1000 on a 100 MByte hard disc. The rest of the lab gathered round in awe, and suggested we had bought far too high a spec disc drive, as we would never fill It!

Or collectors who are not digitally savvy, have never found this forum.

Before I took early retirement, my career was in NHS/university histopathology labs

Is there a new version of Verdicare for putting realistic gunge on newly minted crap?

All you can do is perform well with the opposition you are dealt on the day. The performance of others is irrelevant unless you meet them in a later round.

Extra time, exhausted already watching this!

I think it’s this Denier, Friesland, Netherlands, Bruno III, 1038-37, +henricusre, vgga/brun/doc

Possible obverse legend “henricus rex” ?

Are we all hiding behind the sofa? Come on England we can do it.

Your post brings back memories of the gentle hum of a valve amplifier

As a 73 year old growing up in immediate post war Liverpool, with bomb sites, outdoor plumbing and rationing; I know my grandchildren will never really understand what makes me tick. I’ve been doing quite a bit of family research recently, lots of dates and facts, but I will never really comprehend the lives my ancestors lived. Probably why, although we may study history, humanity rarely takes any lessons from It, and relies on a cosy rose tinted nostalgia for the “good old days”

Lighten up Larry, we are in this forum’s “nothing whatsoever to do with coins area”
