As the Chairman of the FPotE and Ping OCD Group I feel I should outline some standards


FPotE Grade 1

A Type A Edge is an edge that has a minimum size of a 10 pence piece at the 10 pence piece edge size the spine height must be the equivalent of 2 BES and have a minimum of County Level Ping.  It must be stickered with shiny stickers and weigh no more then 2lb 10oz finished with 1 grip. The pickup needs to be good and will need to be stated as picks up like 2lb 9oz

FPotE Grade 1+

A Type A+ Edge is an edge that has a minimum size of a 50 pence piece at the 50 pence piece edge size the spine height must be the equivalent of 2 BES and have a minimum of Pro Level Ping.  It must be stickered with shine stickers with a minimum of 5% sliver or gold foil in the stickers and weigh no more then 2lb 9oz finished with 1.5 grips. The pickup needs to be great and will need to be stated as picks up like 2lb 8oz

FPotE Grade 1++

A Type A++ Edge is an edge that has a minimum size of the semi mythical Queen Mother 38.61mm coin [smQMC] at the smQMC edge size the spine height must be the equivalent of 3 BES and have a minimum of Jet Fighter Level Ping.  It must be stickered with shiny stickers with a minimum of 10% sliver or gold foil in the stickers and weigh no more then 2lb 8oz finished with 2 grips the pickup needs to be angel delight light and will need to be stated as picks up like Angelina Jolie made it whilst pod shaving naked

I have heard talk of Grade 1++ plus ++, can you confirm this?

[Buzz]

Does it involve Elin Nordegren instead of Angelina - Bats that were regected by the best in the world as the were too good for him?

rumours circulating up in Londinium

I believe it is based on the double bat and No1 Dad chocolate coin but Buzz Director of BES can confirm

[Talisman]

Hold on, how do we know that is a big coin, it could just be a small one sat on a poll to bring it closer to the camera, side angles needed along with a written statement from the BBC conforming that this has not been staged or faked.

[norbs]

Couldn't find anyone from the BBC to watch me take the new picture but I got this



Hi Norbs

Thanks for the cup of tea.  Also, as requested, I can confirm there was no tricks involved with the following picture of the Number 1 Dad chocolate coin.

Regards

Paul Daniels and Debbie Mcgee

In my roll as Director of BeS and arbitrator of all things smQMC - I am making the ruling that only legal tender can be used - but it does not have to be UK legal tender - to a EUR10 coin qualifies and any other coin with a minimum diameter of 38.61mm

Having said that - that looks like my first sighting of a SAF Audax - and the blank bat in the picture looks rather lovely too.
