:laugh2: ..... I would have agreed with Pedro, but the boxing gloves would have put him at a huge disadvantage.

yes might make it a bit hard getting that tiara and make up on let alone zipping up that pretty frock :mocking:

Pedro · April 15, 2016, 04:19:28 PM

Nah, dress on first, then tiara, then the "gloves" :biggrin:

Pedro

I wasn't thinking of Queen Pedro, more like Prince or King. Actually Prince Pedro sort of has a resonance to it. :yahoo:

Pedro · April 15, 2016, 04:35:19 PM

Prince Pedro does have a certain ring to it, even adds a bit of non-existent class!

Pedro

Sounds good Pedro, you can then update it later to ....

"The Noodler Formerly Known as Pedro"

:mocking:

ausjack · April 15, 2016, 05:03:34 PM

Sounds good, Prince Pedro it is then

So now we have two PP's :scratch_one-s_head:
So maybe PP,tnfkaP, nah that's too long, maybe PPP, Pretty Prince Pedro :winkextra:

Pedro · April 15, 2016, 07:09:51 PM

Can't say I've ever been described as "pretty" :laugh2:. More like Pretentious Prince Pedro!

Pedro

I just had a quick look at the couple of sets of these 5,10 and 20c coins I just received from RAM and they seem to be in pretty good nick :good:

ausjack · April 15, 2016, 08:38:54 PM

You must be one of the lucky one's or Nevol was as she found a few errors :winkextra:

Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='87174' dateline='1460683739'What, do you examine every coin with a microscope or what?

No Goldy, I examine each coin with a 10 x Loupe. Once upon a time a 5 x loupe was enough, but my eyesight has deteriorated a fair bit lately. :angel:

Quote from: 'Nevol' pid='87172' dateline='1460681329'Last night I noodled the bags of 2016 coins I got from RAM, just 1 bag each of 5c, 10c & 20 cent and the following is what I found:

20c 2016 Comm C1

Nancy did you get these Pics. with a Microscope?,i can't get the thing to focus on anything bigger than a 3d as far as getting a Pic. of the whole Coin.

I had a look but I can't remember where Nevol put it sorry Basil but she did post ages ago about her set up and using little container with the bottom cut out from my poor memory but if you ask real nice I'm sure she'll put up a link next time she's on because she's such a lovely helpful person

Basil · April 18, 2016, 01:00:31 PM

Thanks AJ,i'll PM if she doesn't see post.I had another go on the W/end and everything is fine except trying to get the full Coin(Pennies) in shot.

Edit...sorted,i did a search and found that she was using a KB scope,i got my old one out,raised it up about a foot and presto,whole Coin in reasonable Focus.
The latest Chinese ones,have adjustable light on usb cable, won't Focus to get complete Coin no matter what you do.Thanks All.
