There was no connection to my intended visits to the aforementioned shops 🤣 With regards to the halfs...... I would always of bought full sovs.... Now with the price I automatically buy halfs. I would never buy quarters no matter how much the price goes up, they are just to small in the hand and feel pointless.

Yeah found out the hard way 🤣 Gun shop was also closed ☹️

.......I'm off to Chard's today.... think I can afford 5 half sovs if he's got some in 😁.

I can't disagree with what you say and I'm no supporter of Israel and what they are doing.....but... The Jews have been there for 2000 years plus....they are surrounded by states who's religious aim is to wipe them out, they are only there now because their enemies know they will be wiped off the map. The only reason there isn't peace and a two state solution is because hamas wouldn't let it happen. Neither Israel or the Muslim world is a friend of the West.... Let them crack on. There's a reason none of the Arab states will help or take refugees from Gaza or indeed from any other Arab state at any time and there's a reason none of them want to go to another Arab state. There's only the west stupid enough to believe that they can all come here and be happy in a giant melting pot 🤣. And the Israeli s will happily pay their air fare 🤣

I'll photograph them next time I get my coins from the deposit box 👍 Didn't find anything special. I had 3 Elizabeth 1st hammered and a few old silvers. I've just leased the sporting rights on an estate in the Ribble valley so perhaps time to invest in a new detector

Just joined the forum but have been following the various topics for a couple of months. I started picking up coins and PM's really as an extension of metal detecting. Sold the detector and bought my first sovereign with the money 🤣
