    I thought I'd just mention I bought from Stacks Bowers in the US a couple of weeks ago. Paid by credit card for a 2.5% supplement. Got an email on Thursday saying it was being shipped and would be delivered yesterday. Some hope I thought, but .. slight delay because I missed the request to pay the vat (correct amount and reasonable fee from FedEx of £4 - rather cheaper than Royal Mail!) but it arrived this morning. So things can go right (I wasn't sure how it would go as you occasionally hear of problems with US posted items) and in this case I actually received the coin faster than from some UK auction houses!

    Your reply has reached the audience here Rob. Afraid I'm not guilty of the above crime. Would be interested in seeing photos, if you still have access to some. Post here? There's a half penny that you're looking for, on eBay at the moment. Listed as such. Pricey but may be, that the grade is acceptable.

    This is pants. I can't post a reply to the halfpenny thread saying I was underbidder on a toned mint state 1* obverse brockage over 20 years ago, despite bidding hundreds. Does anyone own up to possessing it? I'll pay very good money, as I held off buying an obverse brockage for a long time to tick that box, in the hope it would resurface. Yet it appears I can post this.

    That's a different language to me Chris. Besides, I do all this on an android phone. I understand the 3 linked circles. On pressing that, it brings up a couple of apps. If I press the more apps option, it brings up my contacts. How I get it to bring up the reply section, on the half penny thread, on the pre-decimal site, I've no idea. Luckily, I don't need to do it that often.

    1½ Pence - Victoria 1st portrait; Colonial issue 1843 ....errmmm Lamination errors ? caught it by looking at different angles... the reverse side seems fine other than the out of line date numbers ...I believe that some over dates are common with some of the Colonial dates....👍

    Citizen H posted a topic in Enquiries about Non British coins

    way back in the pre computer days these coins were dismissed by collectors / hoarders alike,...... I was told to hang on to them as they still had a silver content, these as they turned were stashed and forgotten about ... I seem to think they cost pence whilst sorting out I have discovered x 2 of interest...possibly rarity's ??? Victorian 1820, Canadian Provenances 20 Cents Newfoundland Victorian 1901, Cyprus, 9 Piastres, (minted for 1 year only) ............👍

    Apologies, I can't remember whether I have shared this one before - I think it is a 1861 Farthing with 1 over 1st 1 . There is a gap in the exegue line for "something"

    recently I was shown a coin that was Spanish. it had a ghost out line of Victoria..... the explanation was that was over stamped, one further question,, how did it get the curved pattern next to the shield from? 😕 many thanks one and all, its really interesting to learn more about the coins I have lurking to be found. flaws an all.....!

    I'm not sure where you're getting the overstamped idea from? The reverse looks normal apart from what looks like Vic's mouth chin and neck appearing just to the left of the shield, probably caused the same way 'ghosting' occurs on many 1st issue George V coins, especially pennies halfpennies shillings and sixpences.

    Martinminerva replied to Citizen H's topic in Free for all

    Flan lamination flaw, yes, but double strike no - you mean instead clashed dies, thus imparting part of Viccy's face to the reverse die and then all subsequently struck coins. And the vertical bit by her nose is a corresponding clash from the edge of the shield on the reverse. I suspect the misformed G is also the result of the clash with whatever letter from the reverse legend corresponds with it. All interesting, but nothing really abnormal or a genuine error here as die clashes are very common in the Victorian series and lamination occurs as a result of trapped gas bubbles in the metal mix for the blanks.
  28. Paddy
    I agree with @Sword on the lamination error. I think the odd feature on the reverse corresponds to Victoria's lips, so possible a partial double strike?
