  1. Judging by the plugged holes that were posted on here somewhere, I'd say yes. You'd always know but it would be a lot easier to live with. The problem comes when it's subsequently sold on...
  2. No, it was one of those times the quote box wouldn't disappear but I managed a successful edit. You must have been quick.
  3. Nah, I'll let Mike have whichever one he wants, and that's nothing to do with me not being able to afford either.
  4. You can keep your grilled Bear. I'll have a Les Hiddins please.
  5. We'll all be hammered Pete, it's a party.
  6. Where's the dartboard going?
  7. Worth having a word with your bank? I'd class that as an unauthorised transaction.
  8. Don't forget, if you use bottle tops most of them will have a kink in them from being levered off the bottle.
  9. I like that but as you say, 5 years is a bit lightweight.
  10. I wish I could get a job in journalism. I can make stuff up just as well as the next bloke. Probably better, actually.
  11. It's a mint error Pete, if it's the wrong shape. Hang on to it, whatever you do.
  12. Well, if it's not a very discerning jay, perhaps.
  13. I'm not convinced they will. As Pete says, it's only the AA01 part that's of interest, and so many of these have been put away in mint condition that in 100 years' time supply will probably still outstrip demand. You'd probably get more for an AA02.
  14. Not British but a nice lamination flaw on this Swedish 2 öre:
  15. It'll almost certainly be a cut 'n' shut - two coins skimmed down on the tails side and stuck together to make a trick coin. You might see a seam along the edge.
  16. Do keep that first one though WC. It may not have much numismatic value, but it will be well worth what you paid as a little reminder of what not to buy. You'll look back at it one day and think: "Blimey, did I really buy that?" Anyone who says they haven't done the same is a big fibber.
  17. Bit small those Pete, I can't see the detail.
  18. He doesn't. VS you might find what you're looking for if you post the question here.
