    It's the same reason why the same point is so often flat on the reverse of George V pennies - it's the high relief of the obverse, especially at that part - that 'sucks' metal away from the other face. Nothing to do with a worn die.

    In a similar vein, the World Health Organisation has found that obesity worldwide is caused by the consumption of meat and veg encased in pastry. They tried to discourage the practice, but were ignored, so they bought all the offending items and distributed them among themselves. To be clear, WHO ate all the pies.

    probably resin of some kind? if genuine it would have been worth a lot more than that. sad, though.

    VERY strange. Blackened considerably.

    I was in Birmingham in the 70s and much of the 80s. I remember M&B, Ansells, and Banks's - of which Banks's was by far the best. I don't remember ever seeing Bathams.

    Better than Banks's?

    I think it would have been funny if they HAD put it in 'Junk'.

    My mistake - I was looking at the R which seems to be over a B but perhaps THAT's the cud?

    I read it as "30 years after 1988", i.e. around 2018.
  12. Peckris 2
    I'm not convinced by it. The lower serif of the R has a cud extending right into the middle of the B. Extend it the other way and it could give the illusion of the base of a B beneath the R.

    It looks like a repro to me. That's based on nothing more than 'intuitive feel' but also I've seen plenty of repros that look just like that. And it's a perfect centred strike, and UNC - just seems wrong.

    Maybe it's the photography ? but the pennies look polished to buggery.

    Scanners - e.g. Canon - will scan at at least 1200 dpi which is good, especially if you gently lay several coins on the glass before scanning. Pros of them: the coins are absolutely in a completely flat plane and they're easy to set up and use, and attached to your computer. Cons of them: the resulting scans are dismal for lustre, and can be very flat, though you can lift them in software.

    I'll have a go tomorrow - but please post again so it appears in my unread list
