  1. There are a few on Ebay currently, and completed listing show they are selling around £120 each
  2. Last trial released were the Bi Metallic £2 coins, they were issued to the RNIB,
  3. They are given to service industry professionals to calibrate coin operated machines also institutes for the blind and partially sighted to ensure they are recognisable by touch. Once trials are completed they are to be returned, only some 'get lost' but find their way onto Ebay, Royal Mint could nip this in the bud, list all those returned themselves for a couple of pound each, flood Ebay and make them a common coin, would take the wind out of the sails of those currently selling coins that are official stolen, even by finding

    M & S Underpants

    I remember a High St store called Pollards when I lived in Leytonstone in the 70's, they were an old fashioned Haberdashery, selling all types of 'smalls', the 100% cotton underpants were a tight waist fit but the gusset finished near your knees, M&S were very posh in comparison
  7. The problem always comes down to cost I, as a Surveyor/Estimator, would have to allow significant cost to Projects where there was a History of significance/interest as part of any Tender for Construction cost, this could be in the £tens of thousands and added substantially to Project times, because nobody would want to pay for the Archeological work necessary to preserve the history before any of the construction work could start
  8. If it three coins the same, it would suggest a good number are circulating. Ebay will find its value, but the price will drop off as more and more are listed

  15. I hold the current record indoors, 13 minutes talking about Window replacements to one of the spammers from 'Microsoft India' telling me my Computer has been compromised, being a Surveyor I even managed to include technical terms like fenestration and multi point locking into the conversation to add to the confusion their end.
  16. In my own opinion, Atlas have been open and honest about the coin, they have not hidden the fact when asked that the coin has treated/cleaned, but it has been done professionally but I do feel if a coin has been treated it should be disclosed on the slab. I am sure that when NGC first started the conservation side, before PCGS started offering the service, coins were cleaned and graded but the slab stated NGC Conservation on them, seems now this isn't the case anymore, probably down to pressure from Clients

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I raised a question with this seller last year, He had listed a 1860 Copper halfpenny, from his own collection acquired over a good number of years, I cant remember the full facts but the 1960s was mentioned The coin was a forgery, a Chinese copy that had appeared recently, and I was looking out for, he was unapologetic in his response to my message and continued with the auction, I reported the coin to Ebay and it was subsequently removed from sale The coin could only have been bought a few months at most from the date listed, so it is without doubt he knew it was a fake and tried to pass it of as genuine

    Brexit and money talk

    'The Question' was discussed several times, I remember watching news programmes were the question was asked as to what the ballot paper would ask, Cameron said it would be a simple in/out and that was then voted for in Parliament As for the outcome, both sides, Remain/Leave had their say and based on those views the electorate chose

    Trump v Clinton

    Couple of things intrigue me, The person defending Clinton in the interview regarding the emails never once mention the email content, the illegal server or destroying of evidence, only stating they were obtained illegally and the Russians may be involved in supplying them to WikiLeaks, who subsequently had his email access blocked by Ecuadorian Embassy soon after the first leak, the same Embassy defending his rights to Freedom of speech by granting asylum from extradition to Sweden (allegations of indecent assault) and the USA (WikiLeaks charges), wonder what that cost Hillary. I don't think how they were obtained really matters at the moment, the part that does is the fact it shows the server used to be insecure and that classified information formed part of these email exchanges One recent release showed the Clinton Foundation has moved several $million to Qatar in the last few weeks, maybe they knew something was coming and are preparing the ground ready for a hasty retreat I think she has benefited from executive privileges claimed by Bill during his terms, and Obama is too busy thinking of his future to get involved

    Main influence is in USA, one of the big families running the country by all accounts, which it is suggested includes Bush, Kennedy and Clinton

    Brexit and money talk

    Read a bit of a private speech given by Jim Mellor to German investors in Munich, copied below "The main and worst decision that was ever made by the European Union was to introduce a common currency whi...ch is now in 18 of your countries. That common currency is a disastrous economic experiment. It is probably the worst economic experiment in the history of recorded economics. If anyone here feels that the Euro is going to remain as a currency I’d be happy to debate them on it because I think it has very limited time life left. The problems are mounting every day. The cracks are there and what I raised in 2006 about the coming economic collapse, it was two years until that happened. I would say the Euro has between 1 and 5 years left of life and its gone as it currently stands. The reason why I wanted us to be out - and it is a selfish point - is because when the boat sinks you want to be on the lifeboat, you don’t want to be on the main ship singing the national anthem, or Ode to Joy in the case of the EU, and being dragged down in the wake. The collapse of the Euro, which is in my opinion a certainty, is going to have unbelievable economic consequences. All banks will have to be nationalised, they have to be recapitalised and changed. There is going to be a tremendous break-up of debt, who owns what in terms of debt. Who goes into a new stronger currency union or does every country have its own individual currency. All these questions are unanswerable at the moment. But anyone who thinks that the Euro is going to remain as a currency in its current form I think is absolutely deluded"
