I think we need a new name for Paulus? I'm proposing Paulece?

You're certainly hauling them over the coals at the minute, I'll give you that!Agreed, though! I wouldn't have bothered to grade it if I was Neil! In that condition, you'd either love it or not!

No nicks that I can see, must be something on the CGS pic. Here is the auction pic: Apart from the inexplicable spot at 4 o/clock on the CGS pic, the CGS pic is considerably more attractive to me than the (DNW) auction pic... photos are everything when it comes to distance selling! I'm so glad it's not rim nicked! Must be the CGS image, then!

Not playing, but a lovely G5 crown, Paulus! Really nice...is that also a keeper for type? Edit: is that a nick at the obverse 4 0'clock? Only thing to catch it in my opinion.

Nice little counterfeit farthing for your avatar!

WhooooHooooo! be good to see the obverse too? Difficult to tell the grade from that image, though it is certainly very high! Unless it's your photography, however,I think you could at least take the B off Bunc? Welcome aboard!

There is a setting in PhotoBucket that allows you turn off those URL tags permanently. Go to your PhotoBucket page and hover over the vaguely head shaped icon (top right of page) and select "Settings". Then select "Albums" and remove the tick from "Link back to albums", save and URL tags will be a thing of the past. Dah, dah! Thanks, Nick! I've just made the change...have done it the long way round for years!

I use Chrome myself! What I do is open my image up on the computer, using Microsoft Paint, which usually displays the picture massively on the screen. I then click on 'resize' which opens a box. I check the box is saying 'percentage' then change the 100% figure to say 20% and click OK. It will then show the image smaller on the screen. If it's still too large, or small, I just 'undo' and try a different percentage until I like the display size on the screen. It's then just a case of 'save as' and I generally just put the percentage size at the end of the image title. Don't just click 'save' or you will reduce your lovely big image forever. OK, then I save that image to photobucket, click on the IMG link which will give you something like this to paste However, what I always do then, is to remove the highlight bits in red, as otherwise people can click on your image and be directed to your entire photobucket folder, which may, or may not, be something you want to happen? Edit: well that didn't work! basically remove the bit from the end, and from the beginning!

I'm amazed that there are so many lovely tokens out there! What I mean by that is somebody has loved them from the very beginning, or they'd never have survived like that otherwise. Pretty, pretty!

Not so sure? A couple of 1967 pennies did go astray following your visit to the boat!

Hah! My post was a little tongue in cheek, Hazelman, we all know Declan on here. Really decent chap, just down the road from me! Comes highly recommended!

Declan who?

'Found it in my late grandads' What on earth was he doing looking in them? Sounds very messy!

Definitely Davies & Groom! Welcome aboard, Hazelman!

That sounds very intriguing, John! I'd go with what's been said above. If you do decide to go to a major auction, you could find some good deals on sellers' fees if the collection is interesting enough? Depending on what coins you have, and the condition, of course, various auctions could be suggested. Please don't clean or wipe ANY of them, thinking it'll make them look more appealing. Also, no bouncing them around...edge nicks and digs will loose you hundreds, maybe even thousands! Some pictures would be great!

Yay, sussed it! Only just realised I've been browsing in 'private' mode which, apparently, doesn't retain sign-in info. It's a button on the bottom of the browser screen which I'd inadvertently hit without realising!

Is anyone else having to sign-in every time they view? I'm using the forum software on an iphone, which would normally stay logged on with the tick box checked! I've noticed the software is slightly different, colours etc., and just wanted to rule this out before throwing my phone into the canal!

I got myself all confused, I thought you'd actually bought this one!

Indeed! A very nice change from a copper farthing!

Sorryy, referring back to the nautilus!

That IS a fantastic penny, by the way...what's it for sale at?

Ptfffff! Fussy, that's what you are, TG, fussy! Is the farthing your's?

You could probably buy 3 really nice H3 pennies for some of those 'harder' Charles shillings, TG? C'mon, you need diversifying during these times of XII drought...give us some more Charles I coppers, and some hammered pennies...you can do it? ?
