Yeah it resonates power and might muahahaha. Plus we have a person to salute instead of a flag which obviously makes us saner (if that's a word) -
I've just noticed the forum's clocks aren't forward

Wow that's nearly as good as Max Powers

Maybe its a thing to distance themselves from their colonial masters by doing the same things differently. Like calling a pavement a sidewalk or a lift an elevator -

Aha that is rather odd. 300 pages and absolutely no mention? That's just wrong! -

I've looked, but the multitude of different numbers confused me so I left. Our F VF EF UNC is far better. I know! They all sing the praises for slabbing but I don't get what the big deal is; it's a coin in a holder. I've never seen anyone in Britain with slabbed coins at any rate. -

Could it be American? You know these crazy Yanks have alternative names for everything British -
Yeah I've reverted to a static one, in this case, Catbert the evil HR Director from Dilbert

Yes, this is what's known as the die axis. In this case it is Up-Down (that meaning the obverse is facing the right way, but when you turn it around, the reverse is upside down). If you attach a picture, we can value it if you want but you'd have to also include the edge inscription with it as there are many varieties. So in conclusion, it is common - it would be rare if both sides were the right way around!

I don't think we have any banknote people here do we? I'd say go to a library and do further research, I'm sure there will be a book on it

Well I've no idea where Oxford Road is. Oh this is hard to explain, it's quite a way out (the lower classes start appearing then). I tried to find a map but I couldn't. I know Affleck's Palace is near Debenhams which is up Market Strett but that probably doesnt mean anything.

-

Ahh clever

Hmm commemorative. I think it was produced by the Channel Islands or Guernsey or Jersey etc. I have no idea of the value
-
Yes, a new word needs to be coined (geddit) for the un-rarity of them
-
Thanks for the info - not that i'll be on

1967 BU pennies are ubiquitous

Buying stuff duh

From a valuation point of view, it is as much use as perhaps..........a 1967 BU penny *cough cough cough*
