  1. It's developed into an authoritative website, the best reference site for the farthing! I'd like to see a reference work to go with it, Colin! It can't be far off, the legwork is done!G-numbers, perhaps? Edit: I say this with all due respect to CC, but I like CG's ongoing development. I don't think he should sit in the shadows of the unfinished works of the great farthing men...he should blossom and create/finish the work that he obviously knows about, and understands so well!

    unidentified hammered coin, please help?

    I'll bet it's a home-made coin weight? That would be plausible if it's made of lead? Does it weigh perhaps a Sov or Half Sov in weight?

    unidentified hammered coin, please help?

    I think it's a homemade casting, looking at the ER? Someone has created a mold, forgetting to mirror the letters, I reckon? Is it an ingot perhaps? Is it heavy? What's it made of?

    Sure is a darned purdey bust, despite looking like a WWII cockpit burn-up?Many thanks for your generous email, by the way! Has already made a massive difference to my life. Happy New Year, MR! Consider yourself stalked!

    Need help identifying coin please

    It's made of copper and brass, so has done well for a soil find! I guess the soil in a wood could be a little more peat-like?
  7. Pretty little coin that, Nick, I do love the small stuff very much!

    A peaceful new year to all

    All the very best to all for 2015! May your days be merry, and your light bright!
  9. Couldn't agree more, regardless of denomination or year ... But it's what they go for! Is it any different to a two-pronged trident?I do confess it's not for me, unless I was close to gathering the whole series of something, and a particular coin got added into an addenda or revised edition of a book, or similar, as a definite type? But this wouldn't happen to me, as I have an interest in too many areas...fortunately!
  10. Pennies? The moment it's catalogued, and only 3 are known exist, and it's proven (either way) to be hitherto a common feature or, ideally, uncommon feature?
  11. Yes, indeed. An altered date, just for fun. The other coins are genuine though! I have a few more to add but been rather busy of late. Happy New Year, AC!
  12. King Edwards are the best potatoes!

    more FAKES

    I haven't seen a confirmed fake Anne, either! Though we did have a long discussion on here a while ago about an Anne Crown (I think) - hair detail was the discussion point! can't remember who posted the coin?

    I got some of those too! Decent milled edge on mine, can hardly get into the buggers without taking my nails off!

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    linkhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271715533653?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D271715533653%26_rdc%3D1 Thanks for the link If you enlarge the obverse, it looks like someone has punched her in the mouth and knocked out all her teeth! And carved her a new profile/nose, and cut her a 'neat' new eye! Tis Boxing Day, after all!
  16. We use olive oil...sunflower is perfectly good! No point in giving yourself a coronary for the sake of a humble spud? Save a goose, why not?
  17. Couple of whole cloves of garlic, a sprig of rosemary, and a good grate of salt and pepper!

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Brilliant! 'VF with original raised details' 271715533653 Is that instead of a knackered, tooled, piece of...? Leave it to your imagination! I can't believe Saxby has sold so many coins!
  19. Presumably Santa has difficulty getting down the chimney on a barge? And certainly struggled to find a place to hide things.We have TWO chimneys, but I'll grant you they're a bit of a squeeze for the big fella!
  20. Anyone beat 03:50 for a Christmas Day start? Oh, man, kids!

    Ebay Global shite programme

    Ah, the only privilege I have from being brassic is that my eBay searches only cover E1 (general) & J1/C1 farthings! Takes about two minutes!
  22. Brilliant! Just said to my wife 'remind me to read you something lovely about the trenches,' as she was watching a film with the lad! Amazing thing is, she knew exactly what I meant when I said 'trenches'! Not a place where builders repair roads, not a ditch at the side of a road...amazing that after more than a 100 years the term still means the same to everyone!Lovely story, thank-you! Here's to nations re-joined! Just peace to bring upon the whole world to go! Merry Christmas!
  23. Do your best, mate! Sending you and your family every blessing at this time. I've fortunately only ever worked in a hospital at Christmas, never been admitted to one.Take it steady out there, Dave, will have a thought for your lad tomorrow morning! X
  24. All the very best to you and all! I wholeheartedly agree with you re the educational benefit of this forum, some things cannot be learnt in books! Books are great, don't get me wrong, but the dynamic kind of learning you get from sticking a number of heads together is totally awesome! Merry, Smerry, as my son is presently fond of saying! :)
