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.

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

That only works on Anglicans though.

Have a look at this, fabulous. Billy

Now *that* is drop-dead gorgeous.

May one be so crass as to enquire... (?)


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:

I *think* it was a ha'penny (once).

Thanks for sharing.

It -is- the Packers. Lombardi died before a Redskins game was ever played
under his tutelage. Correctamundo?

Anka blathered before she checked Google:

Wrong.


Anka ---- wishes she were paying attention when all that stuff about
deleting from the Google archives was being discussed

Thanks Sylvester.

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.

Anka, now pay attention this time.

Would that be a case of veni, vidi, vici (Vince)?

Too sharp for me it seems. Billy

The two of them seem so intent on proving they're sharper than other
people that they lose the purpose of all this -- communication. 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.

You're here, as usual, for only one purpose, another one who just post
to disrupt. I missed nothing about Adam Smith, but that's not the
point of this thread, not that this means anything to you in your
compulsiveness to disrupt any thread I'm. Another one who seriously
needs a life outside of Usenet.
