Yes I’ve heard that as well. I’m not so interested in the micro-varietals such as designer initials and their placement. Perhaps a pristine of the YH Gothic Florin?

Hi Geordie582,
nice to hear from you after all these years, indeed since 2016. And I note from your Omnicoin profile that you are 95 on the 5th, so Happy Birthday for two days time. I also infer that time had been rather unkind to you since you seem to have adopted American language idiosyncrasies and started using the dollar and cryptocurrency, Cumbria must have changed alarmingly since my last visit and our mutual love of good old £sd! The Trump effect, I presume - 52nd state? You have to be so wary of anything you read nowadays. However thank you for your generous offer but I have just agreed to send most of my money to some African lawyers who are processing an inheritance of millions of dollars from an apparent late friend of my late mother whose name I cannot pronounce, so bit skint at the mo. Good luck with your sale,
Jerry

Low eye appeal but high grade hammered in slabs is not such a bad thing. Let investors buy these and leaving the well struck VF for collectors 😀.
-
Great advice, thanks Martin, let's see how it does
-
I'm afraid that the higher res photos didn't really shed any light, so I would echo Martin's comments.
-
As ever, something is only worth what somebody else is prepared to pay, but precedent suggests varying thicknesses of individual characters is not of any additional interest to many, so would imagine little or no premium. Much more significant is the overall condition. Just bung it on and see what it makes!
-
Hi, I’m planning to let this one go any thoughts on how something like this affects value? I’ve checked as many as I’ve been able to see and haven’t seen anything like it.
Thanks as always

Thinking of selling these for an awesome deal since I’ve been getting into crypto lately and most big platforms don’t support crypto payments. Plus, dealers usually slap on a heavy premium anyway—figured I’d bless someone here on the forum instead. Looking on P2P.
Collectible gold and silver from Great Britain. The Three Graces bar is one of the rarer bars released by the Royal Mint and usually carries a strong premium (only 6,100 minted). The 2015 Gold Proof Sovereign is #516 of 7,000.
2015 Gold Proof Sovereign w/ Box & COA – $650
10 oz Silver Three Graces Bar – $280
Accepting Crypto (BTC/ETH/USDT preferred)

The Australian penny is the London obverse I think (the common one): https://www.coincuriosity.com/view/english-and-indian-obverse-dies-on-australian-george-v-pennies.html

I got an email from Sovereign Rarities about this - does anyone know when the auction catalogue will be available? Looks like some rare and interesting pieces will be up for sale.

I recently finished cataloguing someone's excellent Victorian Copper Penny collection and, as a result, felt that I was now in a position to have a go at listing the 1843 varieties which I know of. It may not be a complete list, but I think it will be pretty close. I now know of seven different types of 1843 penny, and I have summarised these into a one page jpeg image which I now attach. The actual image on my own computer is over 6 times the size of this attachment, so if anyone wants a copy of the full image then please PM me.
I thought that this may be of interest to some other members (and so did Jerry), as I am unaware that anyone has ever tried to do this with a rarer date in the YH series.

100% agree with you. Eye appeal on a technically lower graded coin, outranks a higher graded “road accident” on just about every occasion IMHO
-
Having said that, try and buy a nice Elizabeth Halfgroat…VERY difficult

This coin highlights that the criteria for grading milled coins are not sufficient (or appropriate) for "grading" hammered coins.
One can assume that milled coins generally have decent round full weight flans and much less weakness or flat areas. Then one can concentrate on assessing the wear as it is the dominant factor in grading milled. Lustre + hairlines, etc are other complementary factors.
But for hammered, the wear is not the single dominant factor and is often not even the most important factor. The grading done by TPG on hammered coins often seem to ignore flat areas (can be much more important than wear) and shape of flan. Hence, I find grading numbers rather meaningless for hammered.
-
Ironically many of the smaller coins ie groat down are much nice coins to own from the tudor and stuart periods
-
Many hammered coins have an area of weakness unless it's a clean even strike. Small areas of weakness are quite normal. It really depends on what the flat surfaces look like under a glass. Abrasions are quite distinguishable.
-
That one certainly is. However did it get graded AU? Are those flat areas due to a weak strike or something?
-
It looks more like a spot of corrosion to me than a proper dot ?

Not my coin, but what appears to be a very clear example of an inverted V over A Freeman 10.
Plus it has other features - a dot next to 1 for example. Can't find any reference to that as a possible error.
-
Just shows what ugly things most hammered coins are really sigh
-
I think so…it’ll be interesting to see what the slab actually represents in this particular example. We have an essentially scarce to, more likely, rare shilling (around 10-20 across auctions and eBay in the last 10 years [including the dross], so maybe 30+ available around, maybe a few more?), sitting as a “top pop,” but likely on account of the infrequency an anchor shilling is slabbed by NGC…it could even be the only one?
Will bidders potentially gather in expectation of it being the finest known? I hope not!
-
errmmmm... I found this amongst my hoard, if its of interest?
Again apart from its a half penny, GIV, dated 1827... not much more to say

unless told otherwise, nothing special or fancy......🤔
