  1. Even the proof often does have that weak fleur de lys on the right hand side of the crown. Now that's something I wasn't expecting, something else I've learnt about G5 proofs!
  2. Looks like it has the usual weak-struck fleur on the crown, not what you'd expect from a proof! It doesn't leap out at me, Danz!
  3. I've wanted one of these for SO long, a shame it's not something more straight forward like :drool: or something!
  4. Not forgetting the hammered Irish copper coinage of Elizabeth I
  5. Again, the top image...great creativity and presentation (side on image below)! Brilliant!
  6. lol, he want's ONE example from each reign! Goodness knows how you would choose just ONE Lizzie to collect Stuart! I'd rather chop my fingers off than choose between say 10 of my favourite Liz coins!
  7. Oh, boy!
  8. Absolutely gorgeous, and beautifully presented too, a piece of art, you have a very good eye! Phwoar, that is good!
  9. Oh, I was so happy with logical answer and you have crushed that... Ooops!
  10. Peck's from Scouseland. You don't get a lot of goldcrests in Liverpool or anywhere else up here. In fact it is only 30 years since I saw a duck for the first time on the River Irwell having waited 6 or 7 years for such an event..I suppose they at least have Beatles in Liverpool, and you didn't do so bad with the Hollies and, of course, The Smiths, amongst many other greats, in old Man'!
  11. Crikey, leeshiel,As you sure you don't know what you're talking about? Are you already deep into an academic work on this era?
  12. The smallest British bird is the Goldcrest! Oh, you city boys!
  13. Staggering, truly welcome aboard!
  14. I know this isn't an example of this, but some of the commonwealth coins (not Cromwell) are an absolute bag, and a satisfying buying strategy for a financially struggling coiney!
  15. 100k + easy, think of the world interest in such a famous penny, the kings, princes, Arabs, museums!!!!! That bottom coin of the 3 is really stonkin', I can see why your eyes sparkled AC!
  16. H7? Well you're going to have to get a side and a front profile coin for this reign, as to choose between the old and new style of coinage would just be too difficult!
  17. Ahem! Good choice, though, loads to learn, can I recommend BCW's book for the Elizabeth reign, it's unsurpassed! Edit: don't forget Mary, there are quite a good percentage of historically competent ladies sharing in the Tudor period!
  18. Looks very Lord of the Rings to me!
  19. It does! well, we learn something new every day! Thanks, Colin!
  20. Hah, yes, I replaced the disc drive in my wife's mac about 5 year's ago...the number of screws, and ALL different lengths and counter, etc. etc. Unbelievable, but satisfying!
  21. I think your instincts re socket is good! Whilst I've not fiddled inside a laptop too much, I do remember that there is some kind of process for 'demagnetising' or de-staticing, whatever it's called, the computer before opening it up, to avoid charges, I think, transferring to some component or other! It's straight forward, and totally understandable, I just can't remember what is was, just worth a quick google about cracking the case, if you're not familiar with it????????
