    Welcome to the forums Steve In my opinion the 6d has been machined sometime AFTER issue from the Mint. The difference in weight and thickness shows it's not a regular planchet, and a trial such as you suppose would be the same width and weight as a regular specimen. It would be good to see pictures of the obverse and reverse of the 1860 fathing. It might indeed be a toothed/beaded mule but do be aware that the toothed border can and often is, mistaken for beaded.

    Crypto

    Peckris 2 replied to azda's topic in Free for all

    National currencies are as notional as crypto, except in two critical respects: 1. they reflect the 'real' economy, i.e. the GDP of a nation 2. they are underwritten by the national bank(s) you cannot say either in relation to Bitcoin

    Wow. 1p coins dated 1936, 1945, and 1967??

    We just defenestrate them...

    I'd find a variation in diameter puzzling (and surprising) as coin machines were very sensitive to size and weight. On the other hand, they weren't so sensitive that they wouldn't take a worn coin... so ignore me!

    Yes - the scarce variety used to be called the "2mm variety" as that was the distance from the trident to P of PENNY, greater that that on the normal variety. The scarce variety also has a sea level so low it's barely there behind Britannia.

    Yes. And no. Judaism embraces all Jews, including those who are atheists. The defining of what exactly Jews are is one of the trickiest things, and probably unique in world history.

    Panasonic have a partnership with Leica - some models are almost identical apart from their badging and exterior styling. And many Lumix models come with Leica lenses, or Lumix lenses co-developed with Leica.

    Oh yes, though I haven't read any for years. My favourite was the guy who fitted a very large powerful rocket to the top of his car. Yes, it achieved incredible speed though a sandstone bluff brought EVERYTHING to a sudden end.

    That's L for Leica not Lumix .. so probably not cheap.

    OUCH

    This was the very first image that came up on google, so unless a coincidence, I'd say not rare:

    Disgraceful. 4 over 5? Yes, if I own a 1959 penny or a 1968 halfcrown...

    To be fair, looking at the resale pictures (which are much better than the original seller's), he got it for a very decent price. Though his selling price is a tad optimistic for a coin that - despite lustre - is barely VF! ... possibly not even that.

    £15 ?

    I assume all those 'desig's are American? They are the only collectors who seem even remotely interested whether a coin is 'red' (by which they mean yellow/orange of course), 'red/brown', or 'brown'.
  18. Peckris 2
    can you decipher those "desig"s? I infer that PF stands for 'proof' but what the hell is the rest of it?

    Feedback of 90% says it all really.
  20. Peckris 2
    that looks as though it COULD be a 3/2?

    is that the very rare 'lighthouse on lighthouse' variety? 😆
  22. Peckris 2
    I saw that. I don't smell a rat, I smell a dead heffalump...
  23. Peckris 2
    Possibly you meant it IS an error? But not a fake.

    VIP proof? (Very Improbable Price)

    Presumably surgical spirit - being clear - doesn't have any dye problem?
