    That's a bit better than average

    Someone was having fun at the mint. It isn't a hole milled out and a farthing dropped in place because you have farthing and penny detail intermingled. So it looks like someone took a farthing die and gave it a clout with the penny underneath. I note there is no picture showing the other side, which I suspect might provide incriminating evidence.

    But it isn't silver?

    This requires a toned hammered silver thread. Blame Paulus for the restricted fayre.

    A scan that didn't look totally flat.

    That's your lot for now as other than similar types, none of the others are uploaded to photobucket and I can't be a****d to do them at the moment.

    And finally a Godless Florin. It has gone now because of the rim nick and other marks, but ticked the pretty box.

    How do you get rid of this stupid /url at the end of the picture?

    I see 9 cars. 2 old, 7 new, and presumably all very expensive to buy. I like the concept of a steam powered car though.

    Christ. That's a job and a half. (sic) you don't have to reply.

    It might imply there will be some VIPs for interested parties. Is there going to be any big celebration in Belgium?

    An awful lot of silver gets dipped and the earlier the coin the more it tones and the more likely it is to get dipped. A vicious circle. Personally I think cleaning or dipping to excess should be made a hanging offence. If people don't like toning, then walk away and leave the coins to someone who will appreciate the aesthetics. The toning will obviously reflect the surroundings and general environment. 1787 shilling below.

    Colin got it from Peter Viola, who in turn got it from Spink. It was listed in the Circular in 1992 and was previously in Spink sale 16 lot 824. The vendor in 1981 probably got it from Baldwins as it doesn't appear to have surfaced in an auction prior to that.
  25. Rob
    Oui.
