One really can't fault him for business sense! Chris, have you thought about saturating the media with adverts for this place? -

I didn't think the G.B.O.R would go in for that kind of thing. -

Emperor Oli replied to a topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
As yours was a mistake of grammar, I assumed that you and Sylvester were going to "pull me up" for mistakes in that, not petty typos -

Does anybody believe in reincarnation? I thinkit's a load of crap but then again I'm a very cynical person -

Emperor Oli replied to a topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Yes, I know about reincarnation but I was just puzzled as to why I would be a tree..... -
Doubtless it will happen but the mistake won't be as repugnant as yours

No, it's just mixing up a possessive adjective with a verb is......unforgivable!

In WHSmith they put them in Reference or Antiques & Collectables and I'd guess the same at Waterstones -
Well it's not a proof is it? Because he thought a proof was one with "H.P" below the head. So it is just a normal George VI coin.

Larger WHSmiths sell them, as do Waterstones. I got mine from Stanley Gibbons in London. They're easy to find in normal bookshops, without ringing Spink's or emailing them -
I'm guessing your coin is George VI: The H.P stands for T. Humphrey Paget, the engraver. On the reverse of the sovereign and all the others with St. George slaying the dragon, there is a tiny B.P below the dragon: This means Benedetto Pistrucci, the engraver of that design.

1795 Half Penny token
Emperor Oli replied to a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
OK this is a token. On the obverse it has a seated woman with a sword and shield, on the reverse it says "Kings Lords Commons" with a crown over a triangle held by three hands. These were used in Middlesex. I don't know a value...... -
Sweden although many Scandinavian countries produced Ore, I think it's Sweden
