I don't believe there was a Roman goddess with 'Shelf' in her name!!

If I had to make a semi-educated guess, I'd say it could be a crude provincial imitation of an official Roman denarius.

You want to talk to @1887jubilee who knows more about the 1887 JH coinage than anyone I've ever met.

He would have said something like "I remember the old mismatics under Obama - they were rubbish, fake."

Have you given up your market stall?

Having owned couple of acid bathed coins I agree with Rob. Acid doesn't shear off the main design leaving the original thickness - it attacks on all axies, leaving a much thinner coin with the elements of all the original design still clear enough to see, including the legend.

Maybe it was just me, but many of the images did seem almost identical. I didn't complain, but then you made the remark about a lack of responses, so I just theorised about why that might be? Good luck anyway

I think that must be it.

My 2009 first edition has some colour pictures it's true, but the majority are black and white. Is this new edition all in colour, or is it the same as the 2009?

I found maybe 3 or 4 as a schoolboy in the late 60s, and only because few people knew about it (an issue of Coin Monthly in 1968 first drew my attention to it). Sadly my examples are in average circulated condition - high grade examples seem few and far between.

I was referring specifically to this thread, not your others.

Get a room, you two...

Washing works with silver but not with bronze unfortunately. You could try bathing it in light olive oil for a few days but not for too long.

I rather think the silence may be more down to the sheer flood of posts and pictures you've made just recently? I got halfway through yesterday and then gave up.

It's an acceptable example, but shame about the green.
