    Anyone got a link to the catalogue? I'm not a member of Sovereign Rarities.

    I think the silver content and weight will check out as good? From what I can gather, this particular coin is rather like the Maria Theresa thaler which is still minted - not for any fraudulent reason, but because it's both a very desirable coin in its own right, but also because it's still used in some places!

    It all looks fine to me.

    The bottom one could be a fairly modern repro? Apparently there are many of this particular denomination.

    I wonder at the terms "extremely" "very" and "excessively" used for rarity. Were these simply hype words (like "BU Gem" used by so many dealers) or are they based on known facts? It's interesting that the 1960 silver crown ("very rare") was offered at a significantly cheaper price than the other two, one being the long known 'sandblasted' 1953 crown.

    They are pretty scarce - much of the low mintage was probably never issued.

    looks as if it's been retooled, possibly?

    What a shame - I've ordered an Annulet from Peeter Nichols, who are now closing down. I would have been interested in another Mascle (still waiting for the Annulet...)

    Someone had a theory that people who had made many attachments were the ones who can't post them now, which would explain why those 3 test attachments by a new poster worked.

    I agree that there are too many in the period to classify them all. But good on anyone who makes them a special interest.

    Phil Collins is very underrated as a musician - he not only helped write several Genesis songs, he was also a consummate arranger, something very evident from Nursery Cryme onwards which was the album after he joined.

    Are you talking about Britannia's leg? The pictures are pretty poor, but I can't see this as corrosion - depending upon whether it's incuse or raised (the jury's out...) then it's either a planchet flaw causing delamination, or perhaps something like grease finding its way onto the die.

    My understanding of the term "VIP proof" is that it doesn't refer to a characteristicallly different method of striking, but that they are normal proofs produced in very limited quantities for VIP visitors in years when proofs weren't otherwise issued. Therefore there aren’t any VIP proofs for e.g. 1950 1951 1953, but would exist if struck in 1948 1949 1952 or 1954.

    The New York examples were struck on polished dies, hence prooflike. They're scarcer than the regular but not sure of the relative mintages.

    Ridiculous price for an at best GVF example.
  24. Peckris 2
    better than Fine but not VF in my book

    You might have competition!
