die crack

Recommended Posts

No. A die crack would show as a raised area on the coin rather than a depression. Anything that is recessed is either caused by a foreign body caught between the die and the planchet (grease/dirt/Azdas wallet etc), a faulty planchet or is post production. Yours looks like damage caused to the coin post production.

Azdas wallet :lol:

It looks like it could be a planchet flaw or post mint damage, I would go with planchet flaw because it has that flaked look

No they only use sporrans when they're wearing their skirts Peter. Wallets are the every day issue for them. Usually with waterproof ziplok fastenings and a titanium carbide outer casing with double tig welding to stop them from accidentally falling open, say whilst standing at a bar in a group for example ;)

Either way, in the two years that elapse between them voting for independence and their economy collapsing so they beg to rejoin the UK or else fall into the sea, they can wear what they like, call things what they like, and we will still be entertained :lol:

Only 4 million, being a small Nation we don't like the disadvantage of 50 Million against 5 million

The whole idea is of course subject to one condition, that they do not refuse to sell single malts to the English.

The poles can build as many courses as they like from the English side of course ;)

Whiskey will be free to scots and taxed to the nips for westminsterites ;)

Oil? My dear chap, where have you been the last decade or so - it's all gone! Of course, if you guys want to scrape the barrel, be our guest :D But if you really think even the arch skinflint Cameron thinks the last remaining few drops are worth a vote ... you're deluded!

As soon as a new Scottish Parliment hear of Dave's vast offshore riches they will track him down.

"I'm think the whole of the united kingdom should get a vote"

Dead right!

Last poll I read forecast that most English would vote for Scottish independence, and most Scots would vote against.

Cut off the central government cash flow, take back the money invested in RBS and then see how long free prescriptions and universities last.

Oh, and can I deport my mother-in-law? She's a McDonald!

Unfortunately bagerap, it was'nt just RSB that Westminster invested in, i believe it all started with NOTHERN ROCK which if i'm correct in thinking was an ENGLISH bank........:rolleyes:

NO Mother-In-Laws allowed. Your perception of Scots not wanting Independence is not quite correct. As a Scots nation though, we will be at least allowed to vote on the subject, whereas the ENGLISH Government said we'll let you vote on the EU and errrrrr, still awaits lol...

Where do you think England gets their cash? Its from Scottish oil, so if we take back our oil revenue you'll have no need to cry about what we've actually given you in the 1st place :rolleyes:
