Just phoned them to ask about exchanging the Camera for the 4k one, have to wait on an Email reply and see what it will cost. Just uplaoding a small video from the Olympia Park from last Saturday, its not great and will be going back this weekend and trying again

Ah I see! That's what I didn't get from flying it around I guess, as it was someone else's I assumed it was 'plug and play' so to speak. I guess the DJI is for the guys who spend hours a day working with them as opposed to the majority that just want to fly them around for a while every few days/weeks. I'll have to check out more on this Yuneec in that case. www.yuneec.com

Are we sure the slab is real?

eBay,pl was a big giveaway

Trying a bigger image

The 6 does look dodgy, look at the bottom loop of it both sides, something is poking out

Anyone who uses these must know what is restricted, for instance there is an absolute no fly zone within 1.5 miles of an airport, so whoever used it around the airport is just an idiot. Most restrictions come in to play when it weighs more than 5kg, mine is around 1.5kg. I'm looking for insurance for it incase of any eventualities as Germany is renowned for suing people, so that's on my list. Nordle, I had the DJI but the Typhoon Q500 is practically a fly out of the box drone, just set the compass and you're away, I found the DJI more of a pain and sent it back and exchanged for the Yuneec

It's a Yuneec Q500+, a new kid on the block by all accounts and its reviews are kicking ass against the more established names. One of the reasons I went for it was image quality, if I had waited 2 week I could have got the 4k for 100 euros more but I've read that the camera can be upgraded to the 4k for 100 euros. The service on it seems to be quite high also, people have had their quad repaired and sent back within 8 days plus they are here in Germany, so another plus side. I'd been slowly learning how to use it for the little time I'd been out, so the video was just my real first attempt at letting it go a little and filming, hopefully it will all get better in time. Went to the Olympia park on Saturday morning but the video was'nt great, so another attempt this weekend while feeling more confident controlling it. Trainers are an optional extra Nordle

I believe he was Polish

Alles gutes zum geburstag

This is true Rob, but with the 1854 surely with well over 1 million minted as suggested than there must have been a percentage minted for the date, so they must be out there somewhere

Its also interesting that the 1848/7 is also an R6 but mintage unknown. Paul, how would Marsh get the mintage figures for the coins if this were the case? He would have to approach the RM for mintage figures for each year

Not sure about that Rob As he has 1853 with a mintage of 2.708,796 and N rated

According to the Michael Marsh book on half sovs, there was 1.124,144 1854s minted and is R6 rated, yet an 1850 has a mintage of only 179,595 and is rated As R2, so i don't know how that works in the grand Scheme of things, normally a higher mintage would have a lower rarity rating

Basically if someone lays claim to something you've bought the German Government is basically saying you must prove 20 years provenance or it could be taken from you. The petition is there not just because of the guy who had 100 million euros worth of WWII paintings here in Munich and people claimed they belonged to previous generations. This could be extended EU wide

We'll need a picture to check the grade Mr P, you know how it works

Best wishes to Mrs Peter, hope all is well.

Either would i, their burgers Are crap

I also belong to one or 2 of these facebbook groups but it seems when you offer opinion on grade and price you seem to be the devil and don't know what you've Talking about. I had one guy Last night being a bit of a tool, someone posted and asked a price of an ex mount and worn (probably Fine grade) 1817 half sov, this particualr poster Said his coin was worth £900-£1000, fair Play to the OP who said it would'nt be near that. I offered my tuppence worth and according to the poster i knew jack about coins, he eventually got naughty because he apparently knew it all but knew nothing. The expectation and then realisation of People like him is the reason i don't Post much on These groups, because if one person says its worth thousand that is the post that the owner of the coin will Focus on and the rest irrelevant, so i just ist and watch mostly and have a Little Smie. The difference here is its a dedicated site for coins and we mostly know what we're Talking about when coming to grade and pricing.

Top left possibly Phillipino?

I'm sure most Scottish Monarchs of that period face the Same way on Silver coinage but still unsure why it was different to the English coinage. Charles II especially who did'nt want to Face the Same was As Cromwell

Yes its Scottish. The SCO in the REV legend and the thistles in the Angles gives it always and the fact Charles is Facing in the opposite direction to the English coinage, although i Wonder what that's about As he Never wanted to Face in the Same direction As Cromwell on his coinage

I noticed in the description of what's happening in Germany that it states "when it comes to a dispute" so I'm assuming the 20 year provenance comes into play when someone lays claim to a Coin or hoard of coins? I signed this last night but it's actually the first time i've heard of this here, must keep up to date with it in the upcoming months. I wonder if they started this due to the guy in Munich who had paintings from the Nazi era which were found in his basement in Schwabing and a few heads laid claim to them being taken from relatives when Hitler was siezing things like this during the war?

No one would be silly enough to buy your coin without a picture of the coin. So, lets have a high Resolution looksy

It surprises me they only gave it a 65. Lovely coin
