I would like to think that someone on here picked that up.

Ronnie Barker?

Scroll up Richard.

I don't see any verdigris. That looks like it would wash off to me. There was a F164a with it which would have been a pleasing find on its own.

The first 5 of these were cancelled at the same time. Curious.

7+G?

The pictures certainly helped, thanks Ian. I see that although superficially similar the second 8 is quite different too. Are these both considered 25c then? I'm scratching my head now.

I thought I had one of these - it has the die crack from the truncation but also a repair to the 1 and none to the first A of BRITANNIA.

That's cool. What is it and how old is it?

Congratulations, you must be well pleased to have finally tracked it down.

Can you send me a copy when they've done it please?

I had 38 tomato plants this year. I grow about a dozen different varieties so I have everything from "garden sweets" to big ones for cooking. I'm hopefully taking delivery of a Spetchley Red grape vine sometime today. Never tried growing a watermelon, or any other melon for that matter.

Cleaned the greenhouse out? Surely it's too early for your tomatoes to have finished? Still got toms plus cucumbers, aubergines and chillies in mine.

It was only a space filler - says so in the listing. In the Grand Prix some cars drove round and the overtaking was done during pit stops rather than out on the track. Probably.

What sort of cake?

Financially, maybe, but what about the loss of a scarce coin to the collecting community? You own a number of coins that are probably unique, some of which you've likely had your eye on for years. What if they were lost on the way to you from the auction house? You are refunded, as is the auction house. Has anyone lost out?

That's disappointing for you, the buyer and the numismatic world. Fingers crossed it will eventually surface.

I see what you did there.

Tough call, isn't it?

No, but you've changed the parameters. We've gone from bog standard at 10x market value to an unattributed variety at a fair price. If you mean I've looked at one of their coins at a hugely inflated price, and one of their other coins was an unattributed variety, I wouldn't have seen it in the first place because I'd have moved on. If I think a coin is a good price, I look at the seller's other listings to see what else looks good. If it's a terrible price, I don't bother. I can't look at everything.

It also makes me dismiss all their other listings as they are clearly trying to rip someone off.
