Churchill Crown welded to Motorbike!
Emperor Oli replied to Chris Perkins's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
As it's a rare error, of course £350 is right. -
No, slabbing wouldn't get that kind of toning. I've contemplated slabbing my better coins but decided against it, purely because of cost.

Was this a good buy?

Try scanning, these coins sound excellent if the coins are the way you described them! -

I'm not saying it's a bad coin, as implied by your post, I'm simply saying I could think of a better way to spend £300+! -

Emperor Oli replied to Chris Perkins's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The guy seems to know ewhat he's talking about plus it isn't recorded in any of my books. It's far too much for a George VI crown though imho! -
The Queen Anne one is quite nice (the one with least rainbow!) and that toning brings it out perfectly however once the rainbow effect comes in it's revolting

there is no lustre on that coin. Its worn too so even if it had lustre it wouldn't be worth much -
Quite frankly, my dear Sylvester, I am. I've been arguing all day, it doesn't make sense to stop now!
-
Oh I love mass debating but I love having a good old MACE debate more (2 vs. 2)!
-
They are vulgar! Rainbow toning like that isn't natural, as Sylvester said, they don't store them right. We Brits would probably get "wonderful" toning like that if we stored them the way they do, but we have sense so we don't!

Can you attach a picture of the 1806 lustrous farthing, as I'd really love to see it? -
1902 LT Half penny UNC Good Lustre
Emperor Oli replied to Half Penny Jon's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Hmm the legend looks clear, I think it's just a normal strike which has been in circulation or been thrown about a bit! -

I thought you didn't collect stuff like that?! -
Has't this been cleaned?
Emperor Oli replied to Sylvester's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I don't think Sylvester's buying it for collector value though, more as eye candy -
Yes, it's not necessary to state what everybody knows or doesn't know grrr
-
Spamming. The rules lie in tatters now...
-
Eugh, those rainbow coins are awful. Why are they all American?!

Emperor Oli replied to Sylvester's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
It's so bright it could almost be a re-strike! Very pleasing to the eye although its collector value is somewhat limited -
It's the hybrid son of traditional squiggle who has both loop and flick!

There will be books on how to write it but the point of it is speed - having a dictionary would hamper it.

mmhmm

Each to their own, PM, each to their own -
No, you couldn't. The people who actually write this studied it at schools for years.
