I also had emailed DNW, and at the Midland Coin Fair Chris Finch mentioned it and reminded me (I had forgotten). They had taken the issue up with the vendor, it seems he was aware of the doubts and had been ‘trying it on’ rather. Anyway they had agreed to withdraw it, quite correctly. Likewise was a little surprised at the lack of an email acknowledgment though. Jerry

I hit a full stop whilst speed reading once- very nasty.....

Depends if you left one lying around.

Hm, I was thinking maybe the first was numbers with letters in alphabetical order - cent and acht do but eight doesn't fit. Conversely zwölf is in reverse alphabetical order. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree.

Quite right. A high grade coin does not always equate to a desirable coin.

Number of lifetime sexual conquests, and partners satisfaction rating? Or so I’m told, obviously! Jerry

These weak strikes and worn dies are often an issue for my pennies too. In terms of actual circulation, I feel the amount of real wear is likely to be indicated by the better side, in that the general effects of circulation (“shove ha’penny” and local damage aside) should be symmetrical. I would agree that in terms of wear the reverse of your coin is AU to MS. Logically in terms of wear the obverse will be similar. Of course the sharpness of the strike is always a factor in the overall desirability of a coin. Jerry

You don't understand that I don't understand. However, a picture tells more than words, so now it makes sense. I lost the will to live long before I got to page 86.
