Reid, have you had a humour bypass operation? Billy

That's a good one. ;-) Are you being sarcastic again? For just a change of pace, why not try to message here in a straightforward manner. It's very easy, really: If you have information, offer it. That's all, whether it's about coins, economics, or anything else... But you do have to own up to mistakes this way. You can't just pretend you were being sarcastic. That might be hard, I know. -- Email: (delete "remove this") Coin Collecting: Consumer Protection Guide: http://rg.ancients.info/guide Glomming: Coin Connoisseurship: http://rg.ancients.info/glom Bogos: Counterfeit Coins: http://rg.ancients.info/bogos |

It will work on any group of Christians and not just Anglicans. :-)

(?) At $950 i should hope it is... ;-) It'll be the most expensive coin i've bought yet... another few weeks and i should have it. As it's a sixpence it is also a very scarce denomination, and in such a grade it's even better! Sylvester. Sixpences 1674-1694, King Stephen Pennies 1135-54 and James II Half Guineas 1686-88 Thanks Sylvester. My Spinks (2004) puts that at £1,000. $950 sounds pretty good. Congratulations. My only W&M, and hence my reason for admiring your 6d: http://mendosus.com/jpg/william&mary.jpg I *think* it was a ha'penny (once). Thanks for sharing. Jeff |

Anka blathered before she checked Google:
"It -is- the Packers. Lombardi died before a Redskins game was ever played under his tutelage." Wrong. Anka ---- wishes she were paying attention when all that stuff about deleting from the Google archives was being discussed |

Jeff Well since i'm getting it for £525 with 10% off, so i'm really getting it for £470, i think i'm onto a winner. And i think you're right on thinking that your coin is (or was if you prefer) a halfpenny, and definately a 1694 one. (unless it was a farthing then it would most probably still be 1694 anyhow) ;-) Regards. Sylvester. |

This is all, in its way, an interesting subject, and it goes beyond the sarcasm and other nonsense going on here right now. There's a lot of this in academia too, with academics publishing not to further knowledge but to keep their jobs and show off how intelligent they think they are. This involves not only the subject matter but also the way they write, with some thinking that the more abstruse they are, the more intelligent they look. -- Email: (delete "remove this") Coin Collecting: Consumer Protection Guide: http://rg.ancients.info/guide Glomming: Coin Connoisseurship: http://rg.ancients.info/glom Bogos: Counterfeit Coins: http://rg.ancients.info/bogos |
