'Expanded' versus 'Condensed' listing
Peckris 2 replied to Peckris 2's topic in Forum technical help and support
Any responses? Anyone seeing Condensed listings working since the day before yesterday? -
have you seen the price of a kew gardens ?
Peckris 2 replied to craigy's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I doubt it. I doubt wreath crowns circulated. There just weren't many of them, and most shops wouldn't have even known what they were. I think that some owners kept them - as you say - as pocket pieces, or rubbed them clean often. Their treatment would have been the same as 'circulated' but remaining with just one person. -

Strange - my post has since disappeared. I simply said that The Mail has put the 1926ME and 1919KN pennies firmly in their place. -
I go with the "genuine coins turn into fakes after 10 years" thesis. 😃

Sad news. Remember the Innes Book Of Records? 😥

Grading Freeman vs Gouby
Peckris 2 replied to hazelman's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
No, quite right. VF+ = GVF. Intermediate grades - e.g. from F to VF - would be F / F+ or GF / NVF / AVF / VF. (N = nearly A = about). A wearing die versus a new die might be AEF / GEF. Where the obverse and reverse are different grades, they're given separately (obverse first) - e.g. VF/EF -
Many would say EF - I just think parts of it are a little soft, but it could be a wearing die.

Grading Freeman vs Gouby
Peckris 2 replied to hazelman's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
British coin grades are standard: UNC and BU EF VF F Fair or VG What varies is people's interpretations of grades. EF and VF aren’t as strict as they were 30 years ago (except as listed by Spink). F is more consistent though I've seen even reputable dealers use it for coins no better than Fair. -
Advice required about Edward vii half penny
Peckris 2 replied to Paul Mouat's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I agree, and thought that even before I saw your reply. -
You've only posted the reverse, so this is qualified: it's slightly soft, so I'd rate it AEF with traces of lustre.

Jokes For Christmas
Peckris 2 replied to UPINSMOKE's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!

That may well be true. However, it's a fact that the changeover to bronze was delayed by the many difficulties the Mint encountered, so the 1860 output WAS rushed and may account for many of the strange features to be seen.

Stuff to Make Us Laugh

Hugh Grant was discovered getting a bl0w j0b in an LA taxi. He pleaded guilty to indecent behaviour in a public place, and asked for soixante-huit other offences to be taken into consideration. -
Yes, I'm very familiar with Sylvia Sims (I'll rephrase that...) - I meant the asp picture.

Good question. They were so far behind when they struck 1860 bronze my guess is that they might have "not noticed". Only a guess mind.

Welcome back Madness, even if only for Christmas! -

Christmas hampers

Sorry if I'm being insensitive, but as an MS sufferer myself I was wondering what MSA is? -
I'd be happy to go with that! I mean, I've avoided the Brexit topic for months on end.
-
Then I'm totally baffld by your GF assessment Mike!
-
The only thing I don't like about you is your politics, Mike. Which is why I'd agree we ought to avoid such matters here.

If that's intended to be as shocking as it was to read, I'm speechless. However, you may have intended something else?
