  1. During this week and all of the next one, I am at work experience at a Stockbroker's in Blackburn. It is quite fun but there are some boring bits so I come and post on here!

    I'm at work experience!

    It's a reputable paper - not like some others I could mention
  3. Charles III coin of some nationality - I'd hazard a guess and say Spanish but don't quote me on it. Foreign coins ain't really my area

    I think we all feel vindicated now that Liberty Street has shown its true colours to even a buyer!
  5. It makes me want to get into detecting but there's still a stigma attached to it

    Today I've started a report on a client's investment portfolio but the majority of the bugger's (yes I can use that word - read the Daily Mail today!) companies have changed their names about 5 times so I've got to trawl through the CGT Service book and if that doesn't work I just leave them alone!

    Candide sed provide?

    Aha Mr. Latin is here! It means "Clearly but cautiously" and was on the coins of Osterwitz. Geoff nearly got it - Well done!

    Where is everybody?

    That's what we're trying to establish in the other forum if you'd care to take a look
  10. Ok I don't have my Spinks book with me (as I'm at W.E) but off the top of my head I'd say top-right is a George IV Penny and the bottom is a Half-Crown. I can't make out the top one because I've got this anti-glare thing on my screen and it dims everything.

    Your dream coin?

    Oh yeah just change in my trouser pockets

    Hmm...

    Maybe they think one would wear them out from handling so many coins

    I'm at work experience!

    Ok here's a rundown of what I do/have done so far: 1) Get in at 8:30 and write up share reports and prices for the Telegraph 2) I read the FT for 45 minutes 3) I then get assigned a task; first day it was filing, then yesterday I did ISA customer details and today I bought and sold stock 4) Then at 4:25 I send out the post and Direct Exchange letters Thrilling stuff!

    Your dream coin?

    Well if we're really going hell-for-leather I'd say the 1933 Double Eagle
  15. I had a thought - what this site needs is a Wish-Thread. You know, advertise what you're looking for and some other Forum member may have it (chances are slim with our regular members but you never know!). Ok so I want Brilliant Uncirculated Farthings between 1902 to the end of mintage. Let's see where this goes!

    Some really ridiculous eBay listings

    Oooh look at the mistakes on this! Fool on Ebay Title says VF but in descrition it says EF?! The picture is that of a silver proof not the one being sold But wait, you get a free 50p so that makes it all worthwhile
  18. Emperor Oli

    Hmm...

    They should keep their mitts orf! I want a pair of white gloves for mine but when I saw them on a site (this one??) you could only buy them in lots of 5 pairs or something
  19. Emperor Oli

    Your dream coin?

    Yes I read that on the Royal Mint website (in the foundations of cathedrals I think). I think seven (?) were minted but a while ago one or two were stolen so some lucky devil has one or two in their collection!

    Who wants what thread!

    A zillion. It's on Spinks a la moment for £35,000
  22. Emperor Oli

    Your dream coin?

    Queen Anne Five Guineas "VIGO" SECVNDO variety - £45,000. Something more down to earth (not much!) a 1933 penny.
