Hello people, and am I glad to have found this forum. I couldn't wait to get my email link to complete registration. Mega post warning coming up :-D ..
To start with, the meme part. I'm actually a biker to the bone, yes all of them, including the multitude of the ones Ive broken, DOH! . I have a few passions in life, but as I got old somewhere along the road, I have had to do a swaperoo with which one I favor most. I build my own bikes and trikes from scratch as a hobby, sort of show winning things , but I gave showing up, as people can be treacherous when a prize is concerned ;-), and I am not a competitive man.
So my number one love of life has been building my own vehicles, and generally going fast, one could say to fast , but as it never killed me , ill settle for just fast. Age and pain have forced me, to take my number two hobby/passion, and make it my number one: which is playing and collecting rare guitars.
and I can talk some too ahy ?
So , me= Guitars first, motorized, noisy and fast vehicles second, and my polydactyl cats third. I have the cats 24/7 so they arn't a hobby but a joy to own , and amazing with all those toes.
OKOK, down to business, and why I am here.
Primarily I joined, to get an answer to a question , that so far has remained unanswered.Several coins have come into my hands, and I bought them for scrap value only. However, I thought it wise to check up exactly what I had bought: I already knew they were half sovereigns.
So I have been searching and searching , for just a simple answer, and it is not value! I will have to find the correct slot to make a new post, and see if anyone can help me there. Here is a hint, I have 2 half sovereigns , that supposedly do not exist? I know these coins are genuine, that is probably indisputable, as came from a now closed down bullion and historic coin seller.
It has been rather a brain burster , not being able to identify such a simple thing as a coin. Who knows , maybe this will start the coin collector obsession mode in me :-O . I am an obsessive type, never stop once started<<< just like talking ;-).
I don't have a camera with macro at present , but when I make the next post , I will include photographic proof of what I have . Incidentally both these coins have
no mint mark? I am also guessing that means London.
I have not said what I have said here , to generate an answer. This is a hello and here I am from me. I am a chaotic person and a tad hyper at times, but I have a mine of information in my head, on most subjects and topics.
lol should I go on. My what I do list and my interests are very wide ranging, music to chemistry, mechanics to sciences , engineering to designing.I like to be able to do anything that I see interests me. I might not be a virtuoso in everything , but I get by with anything.
Greetings too you all
