  1. Ok here's the die number, not great obviously but does'nt look like a 3 in there. Also scoped the rim a little more with the die number because the WW would be in that region, but again, no sign of WW and my guess would be because the bust of Victoria is more elongated, hence the cross on the crown is'nt full and the bust of victoria is so near to the rim.Nicks uploaded picture of a D762 is obviously different from the one i have uploaded as the WW is evident, even if this was worn there would be some hint of the WW. Also the cross and bust is evidently different on both coins.Nicks picture of D762 has also only die number 3 which would then rule out the theory of a certain die number for D762 Just found my 2009 Spink book and it also says "Extremely rare" as does 2010 and 2011 which would suggest there isn't many of this type around. Anyone have earlier Spink editions? Trying to find if there has been any prices in the last 10 years.
  2. The guy i bought it from actually wrote a ticket, he has wrote die 8, but i'll scope it when i get back from my massage

    avnt a clue need help

    What do you want to know? History? Value? Grade? Pictures would be necessary if either of the last two are required. Ok i will try and take some pics and attatch them i want to know everything Sadly I think it is not possible for any of us humans to be able to know everything Apparently women know everything
  4. Peck, from Nicks picture and my large one, its easily seen that its different, the cross on the crown is'nt full and Viccies bust is definately lower than Nicks picture, oh and still No WW even at 60x magnification
  5. Here is a picture of an 1877 Davies 762 florin. On your example, the bottom edge of Victoria's dress is not very well defined and there is almost no discernible gap between the dress and the arc and trefoil border. My guess is that the WW has become obscured by the encroaching dress line. Is it possible to post the full picture Nick so we can see the cross on Viccies crown. In my very 1st 2 pictures you can quite clearly see the difference between the 2 rims to the trefoils, pic 1 has a gap whereas pic 2 has'nt Sure. Here it is. Ok from that picture i can see the full cross on the crown but not in my picture. Viccies bust is notably lower in mine whereas not in yours

My guess is that the WW has become obscured by the encroaching dress line. The difference between mine Nick and the picture you've uploaded is that Victorias bust is lower and nearer the rim, which is quite evident from the 2 pictures. I uploaded the both bust pictures of both florins and the distance between bust and rim is quite evident
  8. Ok a 60x scoped picture from where the last i in the date is and to the left of that where the small recess is
  9. Here is the coin in the very first post, the 1st picture and that bust coutout. The bust on this is higher than the rarer one, hence the no WW
  10. Had the scope on it Peck and can't see any WW
  11. Correct, ESC has 3 listed 846...... B3 WW 48 arcs 847 B4 No WW 48 arcs stop after date 848 B5 No WW42 arcs stop after date Mine 48 arcs No WW.... NO STOP AFTER DATE..........UNLISTED
  12. Took a look through the scope, looks like die 19 as you say, but definately no WW
  13. Ebay shilling ring. You will have to plough through the various threads...also on CC. No longer on CC. Infer what you will from its disappearance... I believe it was taken down, as Nick says, make what you will from that. Obviously most of you know i've been the instigator about a certain someone, he threatens public forums with legal action, yet, me, a private individual has not received a dicky bird. Obviously it being public he can't get away with so much, so threatens action. I seemed to have had a major brain fart when starting the thread, thank you all for your support, so f**k HIM, i'm not giving up collecting, he can go kiss my Scottish hairy arse Anyone that would like an updated list of a certain someones actions then PM me with email addies and i'll happily forward this on, he can't do nothing about that now can he. You make what you will from the list and if anyone agrees with what i've written then please forward it to friends or people you may know to warn them of certain practises by a number of people on the bay. Thanks again for helping me keep the heid
  14. It would pay people to take a regular look at this site, and a permanent link in a prominent place on this forum would help jog forgetful memories.
  15. The reason i do what i do is because i care passionately about my hobby. I don't want people stung and ripped off by people like him. There's been some newcomers on the forum recently, those people are the mainstay of any dealer, ignore these people then you'll ignore future sales, I buy from many dealers on here, partly because you have what i want, and partly because i want to support you, when i show you whats happening, do you suport me? Hands up those passionate people
  16. Dave, That's the thing it is YOUR hobby, you need to chill out and let everyone else look after themselves, there are multiple aspects of this hobby that are frustrating, but the positives far outway the negatives for me. There is nothing wrong in bringing something to peoples attention, but the constant posting on the issue can come over as quite aggressive in itself. Posting the facts about a situation on the forum I assume would be fine, and a good thing for everyone, but the outbursts of language and obvious frustration don't help your cause and if I was a newcomer they would come across as a personal grudge (similar to the other post that went off course) and I would probably ignore it. Just enjoy the collecting...take ten deep breaths, have a tipple and join back in with the banter Colin, when i posted facts, those FACTS were taken down due to the owner being apparently threatened by the arsehole in question
  17. My main problem is Common knowledge , since picking up on this asshole i've obviously found out more, its seriously going to far for me, taking to much of My time and especially when people don't believe you. Peter, i'll send you more info in due course, what i believe i've Found out is to much info overload
  18. You are correct Colin, what i've mentioned on the forum looks like a grudge, but i know it isn't and so do several others. I've proved My point many times and don't need to do so again. Some have took notice of me (thank god) others are blinded by the bling/shine and general bullshit of a certain ebay seller. I've done all i can to get rid of this PLATT but uncortunatel. Forums get threatened with lawsuits and owners don't want to risk what i say is correct
  19. And obviously a bank account to match the dreams Any chance you could adopt me Rob?I'd like to also place on record that i'm Robs love child and lay any claim to his collection Got some news for you.Your real parents are Martin & Tracey from the West country who sold you for a shilling (Thomas Hardy Mayor of Casterbridge like) to the Wier family from Ayrshire...hang on. :lol: :lol: :blink: :blink:

  21. What they obviously mean by "dead" is, is that Murdoch himself is no longer in control. Just tried to log into the sun online and its down
  22. Welcome. I think am gonna start collecting hammered and shillings, maybe even hammered shillings to
