    I see you've used the correct spelling for Berberis , well as I have said on here before, spelling is not my best subject. I started to write my post about the hedge and was not sure how to spell Berberis and so I asked my wife , well she got the wrong end of the stick and being a woman, naturally thought I was referring to the west end store of the same name , and as she is normally excellent at spelling I wrote it down without a second thought .

    That reminds me about the time some years back when I planted a section of hedge with Burberry plants , well what a mistake that was, it was an absolute bar steward , I cut myself to ribbons on the dam thing , well as you can guess it had to go, so that was one lesson I learned the hard way, choose you plant types with care

    The blossoms on my trees this year are amazing , we live on the top of a hill and its not unusual for all the blossoms to blow off, but the last few days have been kind to them and the result is a profusion of colour. Picture of my cherry tree below.

    It must effect it , in my area all the Post offices have closed so no more buying and selling for the foreseeable future ??

    Certainly a lot clearer than my picture. No clouds either .

    How about an easier one . What will go up a chimney down but won't go down a chimney up ?

    You cannot be serious.

    Its quite something to have seen . The next transit of Venus will be in 2117 at 170 years old I think ill miss that one.

    Did any of you manage to see the Transit of Venus across the Sun on the 8th June 04 . I was on Holiday at the time in Derbyshire and I was lucky enough to get a very short gap in the clouds . I managed to take this picture through the glass of my welding helmet .

    It wasn't easy , and I suppose that's why the bidding stayed low.

    Hi Blake , that's the one I bought and posted on here the other day. its an F28 obverse 5 with reverse G its very rare and on Richards Rare list. Its the only year that obverse 5 is to be found with reverse G.

    I didn't mean to upset anyone , it was just a joke , put across badly by me . With everything going tits up at the moment I was just trying to lighten things up.

    I know I should have gone to Specsavers, but what type of coin is this
  15. terrysoldpennies
    I've just made this compilation of the four types
  16. terrysoldpennies
    O well done , i've not seen that one before.

    1861 F28 5+G This one came in the post today , Not the finest example to be found. but one I didn't have.
  18. terrysoldpennies
    Im rather surprised at that as there are eight Large Rose and only two F over B and two Missing serifs on LCA
  19. terrysoldpennies
    Ok thanks Richard.
  20. terrysoldpennies
    It does show that it was paired with at leased two different obverse dies, and possible more. have you any idea how scarce or rare they are Richard ? .
  21. terrysoldpennies
    i've just noticed that yours is paired with a different Obverse as it has a Narrow Date , my example has a wide date.
  22. terrysoldpennies
    1858 F over B in DEF I bought this one just last week and it arrived yesterday. Many thanks to a tip off from a friend.
  23. terrysoldpennies
    Nice one Gary, I must confess I didn't think it would get a 63 .
  24. terrysoldpennies
    Its nice to see new collectors , Good luck with your future finds.
  25. terrysoldpennies
    Nice one Richard , if you keep this up you'll have to sell the entire collection to buy the next coin up the price ladder.
