      Half Penny "pattern-proof" but graded UNC

      By copper123 · Posted

      Slabbing companies often make many errors from what i have been told, the person paying for the slabbing should make sure the slabbing company knows what they have in their hands the peck number as well , personally I think any slabbing company worth its salt would have a copy of peck and also would refuse to slab a cleaned proof coin as it affects its value a lot , or maybe the slabbing company is just gready😢.

      Half Penny "pattern-proof" but graded UNC

      By Num-con · Posted

      Good evening. I have this 1799 halfpenny graded as "UNC details – cleaned." Leaving aside the debate over whether or not it has actually been cleaned, I noticed that—given the three incuse dots on the truncation of the shoulder—it should have been graded at least as "Proof details." Is it possible that the grader missed the detail of the three incuse dots, or did he deliberately downgrade the coin from Proof to Uncirculated? If I am not mistaken, the coin should be classified as P-1242. If this is indeed an error, what should I do in your opinion? Send it in for regrading or simply crack it out of the holder? Thanks for your opinions.

      Pre 1947 Silver Sixpences edge

      By Peckris 2 · Posted

      Hi, Welcome to the forums    It would help a lot if we knew the dates of those coins. My own thoughts are  1) the "different" coin may be a high grade compared to the other 3, whose edges look pretty worn. 2) it's even possible that the different coin is a proof (is it dated 1937?), whose edges are sharp and crisp and even (I sound like good king Wenceslas  ) compared to currency coins. Picture of  the reverse of all 4 coins would be helpful.

      Pre 1947 Silver Sixpences edge

      By Romix · Posted

      Hello Dear forum members I am new here,  Registered to ask people with more knowledge. Hope someone here can help me.  Came across pre 1947 Sixpences with two different edges, why is the edge different, is one of them fake or you have an explanation?
