    Is there any significance to the direction in which Britannia faces?

    Sigh.... merandering threads which always seem to end up with comments on food, sex, cars or drugs.....

    Want, want, WANT!

    Interesting. I know what you mean though Richard, it almost looks too perfect and as a novice I would have assumed it to be fake....
  5. Peck, I think you need to go and stand in the "confused " corner with Richard

    So is it hammered or is it milled?
  7. Wow three threads started by ladies in the Beginners forum thread - must be a first for the forum ? So here's something us ladies might appreciate - read the reviews, made me smile. here Must have been a male designer.

    Mules?

    I think that coin collecting could prove a quite tricky - I have trouble understanding all the said reverse combinations, and I don't have dyslexia!
  9. Also Paul Ross is hardly iconic sex symbol fodder (hence the taking the michael reviews) I also love the fact that on the link to the actual canvas it shows that people who actually bought the item also bought “Fifty Shades of Grey†deduce what you will (you probably do need to be female to appreciate that one)
  10. I wonder when Amazon are going to start offering ex-circuated post war currency ? .....perhaps we could all write a few choice reviews then!
  11. Well of course it is Rob!......... Er did you read the reviews?

    Hello new here

    Er well yes I was sort of including the lady who I replied to a while ago who had just lost her father and needed help in sorting out his coin collection...but we haven't heard from her in a while, so you may be right after all!

    Hello new here

    Hi Nicky, welcome to the forum. Yes you may be increasing the (known ) female population by 50%! Everyone's very friendly and helpful here. I'm sure you will learn lots and good luck with finding those coins. I would recommend the check your change by the way!
  14. Afternoon all. Here are two pictures of two 1834 shillings ( both presently on ebay) – do you think that they look different to you? I realise one is a far better grade and seems to photographed at a slight angle, but the hair at the top, the shape of the forehead and the shape of the ear look different to me. Were there two different portraits for that year? Perhaps its just me
  15. Thanks Rob another interesting thing to consider and I see that Davies notes that there may have been some struck in 1830 (anyone got one? ). Actually I think that angled photo may have been stretched slightly and I notice that the lettering is double struck in places. Must stop giving myself headaches from staring at coins for long periods of time!

    Detecting finds

    Oh nice finds, that must be exciting when you discover something Colin.I wonder if the hobby become a little more popular after that fascinating series on TV a few months ago - Hidden treasure? Where were they found? Do you have to ask permission to use a detector or join a club? And what do you do with your finds, do you have to register them somewhere? Having said all this I am sure I wouldn't have the patience myself to have a go!

    engraved coins

    Mmmm I'm sure that there's something that looks like a shampoo bottle - no wait it could be a light house.....

    engraved coins

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    A rare 1 over 4! here
  24. Sounds like you are both having / had a good time. Tell me Peter what do you do on your birthday?
  25. Yes looks very impressive Stuart clearly a labour of love! Like the clear pointers - could do with something similar for all the later milled stuff - points to beads etc etc.. Is there any significance to the number of beads on the inner and outer circles at all in hammered coins? I know very little as you can guess.Good luck and I hope you get lots of contributions.
