The ability to negotiate our own deals on Covid vaccines ? -
Absolutely - cabinet friction doesn't exist (unless you're Boris !)

F38 having 2 different obverse dies
secret santa replied to just.me's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
I can only find a mention of an 1862 penny on page 31 which he describes as "as for Number 38" with 2 struck over 1, and which "should be included as Satin 38A", but none of the 1862 2 over 1 examples that I've seen are the F38 die pairing. I'm not sure that John is correct here. Or have I missed something ? -

When you get down to a particular auction, either past or present, there seems to be a search facility on each auction page (I think although I can't guarantee every page has one). -

I never did the courtesy of a reply (or thanks) but I see that a number of my points have now been fixed. -
You're too kind.
