36 Bury New Road was his residential address in 1881,1891,1901. 1871 he is ar 4 Rock Mount, and in 1911 he’s at 25 Dover St i found him in a couPle if trade directories 1879 Allan’s Buildings, 82 Victoria St and Knoll House, Bury New Road 1886 1 St Ann’s Place 1902 407 Oxford Rd. so at a guess I would say he starts his business at home, with a separate door for the studio, and later moves to commercial premises late 1870s. If the photo was later than 1879 I would expect the commercial property would be cited as the address David

I have drawer as a safe place for an accumulation of things deemed at some point to be important, comprises keys for unknown locks, odd brackets and screws, unrecognisable things that must belong to something. The true purpose of most are long forgotten, but they stay there just in case. The drawer of course never contains the item I am looking for.

Dropping small copper coins on a heavily patterned carpets, is where I hide mine

Very sad news

My snipe got blown out of the water on this one, Yes a nice grade open 3, but what's going on wiyh the shield protrusion opposite the lighthouse? The rocks look a little odd for reverse g too Doesn't look like a die clash

Series 3 starts next Wednesday, 10pm, BBC4

Oops! Senile moment

I think this flaw due to die fill occurs on a variety of years if folk look out for them. The 1934 missing waves is no different, but has the kudos of an example being in the Bernie Weightman sale. So they are of interest to those who collect die clogs etc, but I certainly do not think it has any place in a gallery of rare varieties.

See this 2p varieties

and 1931

1929 penny, missing waves and normal

Definitely die fill in my view, I don’t have a 1934, but I have very similar from both 1929 and 1931

He could do with buying Chris’s new book, for a bit of practice The Coin Colouring Book

The baby is EDVIII comes in two common varieties, 1896 and 1897, the former advertising Remington. I seem to remember a smaller white metal version exists

I was lucky with this one, bought as a standard 1915, the broken tooth is much less than the 1916 recessed ear variety. Be nice to find a recessed ear 1915 from an early strike without damage

Give one to a small child as a gift, and it will broken open in 5 minutes. That’s why toys still in the box fetch a high premium

Not aware of any decimal issues, but then never checked. I did pull several well circulated 1953 pennies out of circulation back in the day

Or a botched 5 over 3?

my assumption too, i wonder if a specialized Bolivian catalogue exists with more info

Circulation issue of the above, with privy marks for Paris mint. A single year type difficult in high grade

Working for years in the NHS I came across lots of names Theresa Green works best with a Scouse accent. But I still remember the little 5yr old called Annette Curtin David

And then there is this chap Altered dates

Thanks guys. Ann-Marie had been ill a long time, the hospital told us over a year ago that there was nothing further they could do. Three weeks ago she was readmitted, they discharged her saying the choice was the hospice or home. We took her home and she passed away last Thursday. Can't thank the District and Macmillan nurses enough, they did their very best to ensure she did not suffer.
