Just a die on its last legs, some huge die cracks going on too. A nice example of a dying die (see what I did there ) but not worth forking out £400 for one!

Same, it's a pain in the arse! Best solution I find is a tea towel and a twist

If it's one of Pete's I'm sure it'll be a nice one, slabbed or raw?

What's your 1911 like, get some pics up!

Prax, I just spotted this while doing the dailies, it looks like it has the beginning of the die crack just like your first picture. Matt

LOL

Yes Buckscoins is a very good seller, never had trouble from them. If you have doubts you can always get back in touch and return it hassle free as well.

I agree with both of you, although if you are wanting a slabbed coin then it certainly should warrant at least the premium of having the coin slabbed, i.e shipping both ways and the cost of slabbing, which if you just sent 1 coin would be almost £34. Obviously that doesn't mean it warrants buying something like a 1964 shilling with a £34 premium on top just because it's slabbed

Mine's just a dot flaw too, no die crack on it. As Pete says, the second one is a die crack/beginning of a rim cud.

Yeah they all have the K on the design. It's the initial of the designer - Conrad Heinrich Kuchler

Out of interest why would you counter stamp a coin as a collector, wouldn't it just devalue it completely?

If you want to print from google drive you have to download it first (try the little arrow, top center) then you should be good to go.

Difficult to find without the edge knocks but they are around to be had. eBay is always good start but there are a couple of dealers that'll have some for sale. Will cost you a bit though, just for the sake of having an example without edge knocks Rob's got a 2d @ £195 - www.rpcoins.co.uk

Lovely conders Paulus I especially like the obverse(?) of the bottom one with the hands holding the triangle. What's the greeny patch on it do you know?

Here's a picture of one for comparison. Might be a big photo I can't get it smaller on the iPad..

I would, for now, definitely wait for the battle between Microsoft and the current users to play out until they fix some of the major problems Windows 10 has. A new update is due soon and people are poised to find what new wave of issues come with it. Maybe they'll fix some of the big problems and it'll be ok but only time will tell. To be fair to you, you're using Windows 8 which is also a pile of rubbish the tiled screen was completely unnecessary, hence the abandonment in 10!

I find the 1915 filled 5 quite a difficult one to get an example of. That one you've posted David was definitely on its last legs, another die crack at 7 o'clock and the teeth around the bottom are almost resembling beads they're that clogged up!

Strange, I usually have it open at work from 9 (8 UK time) in the morning at work during the week and haven't had any problems. If it keeps happening put up another post I'll have a look and see if I can find what's causing it.

A free sense of philanthropy

Probably both I hope they do release it though I'd quite like one without having to pay £40 plus postage

James I've removed the duplicate post from the members section, you'll do better in here at garnering results as the members section is not picked up by search engines and guests will not be able to see your post.

The questionnaire is completely general I think it's for everyone? Completed by the way, hope it helps and good luck!

Privacy is the biggest problem with Windows 10, and changing the settings is extremely difficult even for people who understand the workings of the OS. They record every keystroke you make and send all this information back to themselves (supposedly to build up a profile to help make 'suggestions'). Their updates are also causing major problems with wiping applications, because they're deemed malicious, like Adobe of acrobat. For now it seems it's another must avoid, and just stick with Windows 7 which has always been the best since it came out..

I like the idea of releasing the underground £2 coins in the underground. Perhaps the Beatrix Potter designs will be released around London too, or maybe the Lake District? Looking forward to that design, I like the look of it.

A thoroughly enjoyable read Ian! Well laid out and nicely presented. Nice work on getting a couple of links to the forum as well
