EBAY Bidding danger
Gary1000 replied to numismatist's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I have all of mine delivered to work, much safer. -
Not certain, but it looks to have been plugged at 8pm on the reverse, which would favour its authenticity.. certainly something going on there. the R on the other side is a bit of an odd shape. If it's plugged they've done a good job, I wonder if it has just been flattened at that point.

I had a disgruntled buyer who couldn't understand why his bid had jumped so much when he bid above the reserve I'd set. He was going to complain to ebay about it.

If a coin has been minted with a polish die one side and a currecy die the other surely it's a mull as it would be an unintentional die pairing.

I've not heard of that one, why is it a mule?

most up-to-date literature
Gary1000 replied to Mr T's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Davies quote two reverse varieties for the 1935 crown but I've only ever seen the one type. -
The MPs will have completely forgotten about it all by the end of next week. As they say "seven days is a long time in politics". Looking at that spending per head it's the East and South East, both adjacent to London, who are the hard done by. On the few occasions I've visted the Up North everything looks a lot better than where I live, the food, housing, transport, petrol and beer are all cheaper. I guess we don't moan enough about how we get such a hard time. As they say it's the squeaky hinge that get the oil.

Agreed, but they are ramming it don't own throats and treating it as a great big circus. I'll be glad when it's all over and we can get back to the Pistorius trial. You're a bit late aren't you? Verdict already handed down... The verdict maybe but still awaiting his conviction

Someone advocating an independent Yorkshire is not exactly going to give a balanced view.Lol, the BBC have been quite balanced in their reporting? As the rest of the Union get no vote in their future I think the BBC should have stayed completely out of it and ignored the whole thing instead of acting like a swam of fly's around a fresh turd.

Someone advocating an independent Yorkshire is not exactly going to give a balanced view. Anyway it will all be revealed tomorrow. Personally I would prefer either a yes vote or a landslide no vote. If Salmon was to lose by only a knats we will never hear the end of it.

1911 Florin. What's a realistic price
Gary1000 replied to bagerap's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
It's had a lot of ware also. Ear and mustache shows flattening, are we sure it's a proof. -
So the sellar indicate that is has been dispatched and when the buyer enquires to say they haven't received the item the seller refunds the money and cuts their loses.

The No campain have lost this by trying to talk sense to the voter.You can talk as much sense as you like but it won't make a jot of difference. This vote is going to be won by hearts not heads.

Why Don't People Collect Halfpennies ?
Gary1000 replied to sound's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I collect Farthing to Crown 1900 to 1967 so I guess I collect Half Pennies. -
Probably not as much as they should but I doubt if they get off scot free. Anyway Salmon will just up the oil output to make up any shortfall...wait a minute he doesn't own any oil it's owner by the comanies that extract it. All that he gets, and the UK government for that matter, is the tax on the oil companies. And the production level is set by international agreement anyway. Also if production was increased the price would go down, set by the spot market, and the gross tax would likely not change.

According to the news this morning the Royal Bank of Scotland is considdering moving to Engand if there is a yes vote.

Stirling is just a name, and a city in Scotland. Hong Kong have $ on their notes but that doesn't mean it has any connection with the US dollar. As with any contract it's the small print that counts.
-
The bottom one is backed by the Bank of England the top one isn't. It's backed by a dodgy bank that is all in but name bankrupt and owned by the British tax payer who could walk away anytime they want.

As Alex Salmon says, Currency; don't worry about it we'll sort it out afterwards. Pensions; don't worry about it we'll sort it out afterwards. Finances; don't worry about it we'll sort it out afterwards. Healthcare; don't worry about it we'll sort it out afterwards. Everthing; don't worry about it we'll sort it out afterwards. Oh and I wish to apologise for all the English politians in Scotland at the moment. I don't recall us asking them to go, it's so embarrassing. But then when did the politians ever represent the will of the people.

Anyone with existing citizenship of the UK will presumably retain it. You can't just remove citizenship without due cause, such as being a terrorist etc, so grandfather rights would apply here. However, anyone trading in their passport for a Scottish one should not expect the same rights, though I suspect the same policy as that applies to Irish citizens would be the realistic position. Whether Scottish only passport holders would be allowed to serve with the UK's armed forces though is another matter.UK gov is actively limiting non EU imigration to apease the masses. Scotland would become a non EU country. You have the choice, are you Scottish or are you English. We allow dual nationality but how many scot would want a hated English passport. So the scots would be in the position of needing a visa or work permit to remain here. And that goes for any scots currently living in mainland Europe.How come suddenly that England is Britain, your statement of your either Scottish or English, tell me what happened to the other 2 countries in the Union? Your statement should have read, you're either Irish, Welsh or English should it not? Do you think England is the UK, this is the problem in a nutshell with you English types. Your other statement of throwing Scots out of England is another belter, what about throwing the immigrants out also, or those who are of any given Race other than English presboterian, you should go and invade a small country, you'd make a good dictatorNI is a province and Wales is a principality so England will be the only country left in the Union hense only England can issue passports. And as for the politicians they are all the same only interested in their own well being. The only reason Miliband is showing any interest is because he's going to lose a few MPs and make it even harder to get in again. If the boot was on the other foot do you think we would here anything from him other than anything that is detrimenal to the conservatives. Oh and Britain, more correctly Great Britain is a geographical area not political. Scotland will be ever part of Great Britain until it's towed out into the Alantic Ocean.

I'm putting all my money into razor wire and security fencing. Will it mean that all of the die hard scots in England will have to become english citizens or move north of the boarder?

Left Behind, or A Tale of Two Markets?
Gary1000 replied to VickySilver's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
A big problem I see in this is what happens to the value of your finest known when a better one comes along, as it surely will. -
I've got one. It's excellent value and packs away very neatly indeed for storage or transport. The camera stand is ok, if a little bit lightweight, but ok for compact cameras. The lights are halogen, so be careful where you place them relative to the light tent and how you handle them once you're done. However, you can buy replacement bulbs (LED etc) that do the job and don't get anywhere near as hot. I thought my lights were going to catch fire as they started to smoke after about half a minute. I replaced them with fluorescents but now not getting anywhere near enough light.
