Penny Acquisition of the week
secret santa replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Thanks to Bernie, I picked up an average 1895 wide date recently on Ebay. Not wonderful but a reasonably interesting example of 1895Bb which Gouby describes as scarce. -

Thanks, although I have neglected it through the summer. If anyone has additions/corrections etc I shall have plenty of time in the winter to update it. -
How do you tell a bronzed proof and a copper proof apart.......

Absolutely right Mike - that's why I posted it !!! -

One thing's for sure - you can't make a decision on whether a coin is bronzed from a photograph. See the photos below of the same coin: LCA (top pic) and NGC (lower pic) both describe the coin as bronzed copper. My own photo shows a very patchy colour, unlike the consistent finish that Rob describes. So, is this bronzed or not ? -

Please let me know if it's as good as it sounds and I'll get a copy to update my halfpenny site. -
My Browsers have ground to a halt
secret santa replied to secret santa's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
I've never knowingly downloaded restoro and a search with File Explorer doesn't find it so it's still mysterious. Malwarebytes says it blocked it rather than deleted it. I'll read your link later, Mike - thanks for that. -

Even weirder - I have downloaded Malwarebytes and run a scan and although it didn't find anything, it seems to have cured the problem in all browsers - but time will tell. Actually, I've found that it blocked a website called restoro.com which "appears to be malicious" - maybe that's the cause ? -

This is weird - 24 hours on and Firefox has now slowed to a standstill like the other browsers. It must be a virus. -

I have now installed the Firefox browser which is so far working perfectly which suggests to me that a virus has somehow infected both Chrome and Edge although as I said before, McAfee scans don't find any issues. Strange !!! -

Onedrive is using nearly 30% CPU; nothing else reaches double figures & most are zero. -

What should I be looking for - something that takes all the CPU or something that takes all the memory ? -

McAfee scan shows no issues. -
It's really quite simple - my generation was raised on feet and inches and pounds and ounces. We think in those units and can estimate in those units. Don't ask me to describe a person's height and weight in metres and kilograms. I can't do it - full stop. I have to do a mental conversion whenever metric is used. Use the 2 systems in parallel until my generation is dead.
