The limited edition “coronation 50p “ has a crowned head and the obverse is Westminster Abbey; Theres far less of them in circulation and they are worth approximately £2:50 to collectors. I managed to get 20 for ten quid from a post office when they first came out. They are with a “Rupert Bear Parliament” and two “ Brexit “ 50p’s that will go to my grandson. Cheers. So its actually " heads or obverse " these days not " heads or tails " ........every days a school day and all that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What a sad mentality you have. No doubt you'll come back at me with some witty or sarcastic retort . And the usual spite-filled cadre of suspects will do likewise if they can break off from engaging in their usual mutual bum licking . I wouldn't bother. You'll be writing it for other people l won't see it. I'm off this site , too many cruel , negative thinkers who don't really give a toss about the image of field sports .

Sorry to hear that but yes ive heard of people having it 15/20 years and dying with it and not of it......i believe they are currently rethinking the process in terms of testing/telling people they actually have it at that very early stage......the thinking being it can cause years and years of worry and stress for no real reason. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well i know if i came out with " Obverse or Tails " to any of my lot it would be met with a prolonged " ooooooohhh " so think i'll stick with heads or tails. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of countries don’t have heads on their coins, but yeah, I can’t see a ref asking the two captains “ obverse or reverse”. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to hear that boss....im no doctor and sure you've done your own research but it really isnt lights out time as the word is often associated.....you'll be having your psa checks and from what ive researched the number itself isnt the issue its the speed at which it might rise thats the indicator that its close to spreading outside the gland which then of course is removal time......but every case will be different and again there is talk that the levels they actually diagnose it at are about to change for the reasons i mentioned earlier.....theres nothing clever about it of course but if caught early it doesnt necessarily mean the worst,God bless you mate i wish you the best.
