  1. The rusty dies are a plus, though!
  2. Goodness, this one looks more suspect than the OP coin? Apart from the general 'look' of it, the pinholes on the reverse 4 o'clock lions and lettering, the poorly formed II of XII. I've only taken a cursory look at the image in Spink, but the OP jewels seem correct, when comparing to that crown cushion?I know you're now going to tell me your coin has provenance going back 200 years, and it's been in the hands of endless collectors...
  3. Nothing leaps out with the shilling, but I'm unfamiliar with the shield details on this series and would want to check that out if I was buying. Also, I'd definitely be checking it for weight and silver content if it was me.
  4. I don't feel happy about the testoon. Take a look at the lettering, FRA especially! Would love to get a close-up view inside that split, to determine whether it's a hammered split, rather than a cast one.
  5. All the best, John! Take it easy out there! ?
  6. I've been a couple of times! Let's just say at least one grade if you are distance buying! Can be some bargains if you are in the room, due to blind bidding being somewhat reduced. When did Laurie die? Just trying to establish whether my visits were pre or post his passing?
  7. All the best, pal! Take it steady out there, and enjoy the weekend! Birthday treat tomorrow methinks? ??
  8. You and your's too, m'friend!
  9. Nooo! And my sincere apologies again for my present distractions! Blessing!
  10. I use Serif too, but the Serif PagePlus package, can highly recommend their software!
  11. Why you should never attempt to grade hammered coins! Here's a "BOLD VF" from Baldwin's! http://www.baldwin.co.uk/coins/great-britain/hammered-british/richard-ii-penny-york-rare-in-vf.html?usrc=1
  12. Wow, good on ya, Stuntman! Never ever begrudged a man the trappings, even from the perspective of being skint! This is the one of the wonderful insights that pastimes like this brings, where people of all walks of life can meet at a common point! History and coins are a pretty good meeting place for Caymans and £1k Hyundais! Brilliant! Love coins!
  13. Hah, ha, yes, never getting anywhere fast, that's very much me! ? I always fancied an Alpha, but would probably go for a sporty Jag if I had the money! If! O' if! We're hammering a Hyundai Getz into the ground at the minute, so who am I to comment on prestige cars?
  14. Oh, good, glad you were late to the party! Happy birthday from someone who was even later! Fashionably late, of course!
  15. Yes, I can see that now, too! ? An inverted 6 corrected in error by an inverted 6! Love coins!
  16. I'd say 9/9 too, Debbie!
  17. Take it easy out there, Mr S. Time for a wee nip of something to help you sleep!
  18. Lovely tribute, Peter, you're a great man! Stay safe out there, m'friend! I for one would love to see some pictures of Mrs Peter on this thread. You can never have too much of a good thing on a coin forum!
  19. Oh, fuck, Peter, so, SO, sorry to hear that, m'friend! So very sorry! Fucking, 'ell, mate...so thinking of you right now! Aw, mate!
  20. Hi Jason, We don't have a large community of Roman collectors on here, and I do know at least one of them to be inactive at the moment. Hopefully someone will come along with some information for you? Didn't want you to feel ignored!
  21. With specific regard to the distinction between UNC and a/UNC, you'd really have to say that UNC is UNC, but a/UNC is better than GEF but not quite going the full 9 yards to UNC
  22. That's rather cognitively advanced Mr P, I'm backing that horse!
  23. What's the misprint on your 2014?
  24. Maybe Pepsi?
