    The bagpipes are a singularly spine-chilling instrument! There's a piper who busks in Bath and Thornbury (Bristol), and I can barely walk by, such is the trance it sets me in! I love them!

    Always a series of texts back and forth across Europe when that occasion happens!

    The label "Made in Germany" was introduced by Britons Yes, I remember that from my interest in mantle clocks!

    You got away lightly - I married one.Mind you, from the organisational/household's point of view it was probably a blessing in disguise. It's difficult to argue that German engineering isn't better, I have to say!

    English... German.... joint ancestors, same cultural origin. A pity and tragedy that these two people fought two disastrous wars against each other. Britain is very popular in current Germany. My girlfriend is very anglophile, you should have a look into our flat... Union Jack, Tower Bridge, Twinings Tea, shortbread, scones & clotted cream, Take That... Only the Queens bust has to stay within the coin album good reply! I might just draw the line at Take That, though!

    coin dealers

    Coinery replied to PWA 1967's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    Out the dealer Might we see the images that sold the coins in the first place, before we hang the dealer?

    And there's me thinking that the English were the German favourites? I say this with smiles, having step nephews and nieces, and attending 2 German weddings!

    The city of York is an amazing place for a visit!

    unknown coin

    Coinery replied to sc07's topic in Free for all

    Not my area, but the quality of it would suggest some fun kind of museum souvenir or similar?

    Block up your ears!

    I suppose a poop deck could be a corrected flush deck? I don't know, I'm meek on the issue, knowing only the surface info. on it all! Just tossing ideas into the pot. On account of such variation, it doesn't seem inconceivable that a lot of the variations are based on repairs?
  12. Coinery
    That would be my first thought, that they probably had to 'dig' a fair old bit of metal from the ships each time they used them?

    In a roundabout way, so was I! Are you saying you've never seen nor met any Fockers in your life? There's plenty around!

    Coinery replied to Jordan0693's topic in Decimal Coins

    Unless they are meant to be dorniers and messersmitts, or something? Possibly meaning to represent the few against the many???? Who knows, it's rubbish, regardless! Apologies to our German friends for my German spelling! Edit: should have gone with ME109s

    Indeed! Not a Lancaster or spitfire to be seen! There's a passable hurricane, if you squint (a lot), but that's all!Edit: I guess they are spits on the ground, I was focussing on the in-flight 'aircraft'!

    I think you might be preaching to the converted? Edit: sorry, forgot the...?

    I've been collecting the decimals!

    I'd say the best part of half a grade up myself!
  20. Coinery
    However, if they've moved the goalposts on grade, their values measured against the values of recent years is now pointless?
  21. Coinery
    Altered date, if I remember correctly?
  22. Coinery
    Totally agree! But I do think Spink could dig a little deeper on the more common issues in the hammered section at least!
  23. Coinery
    Here's a question for you? Why don't Spink's use images of the best available examples of type in their plates? They must surely have access to some pretty good imagery? I know some of the coins have only a couple of examples known but, excusing these, what about the rest?
