Can I ask how you calculated the number of florin collectors, I’d love to do something similar with Elizabeth I and Plantagenet pennies.

It really is a shame not to see clearer images, it does look 5-like. I do draw caution however from the fact that I can just as easily see an inverted A below the 8. Crystal images are an absolute must in these cases.

Always appreciate a good workaround, Pete ☺️ 👍

Or add images/screenshots.

I’ve been getting account suspended too, and also can’t react to messages.

Definitely not the genuine article, but will definitely be the coin in that little group that will catch the highest bidder out, as there’s nothing else in there they could possibly be wanting!

Someone’s going to get their fingers burnt! https://ebay.us/m/qPGfJ7

There was/is a collector called Bianchi…CNG are selling off his/her collection!

I have to confess that’s not a reference known to me, nor Google, apparently! I wondered whether it referred to a BNS article, or similar, but seems not. Can you email CNG and see what they say? It could possibly be a couple of private collectors attempting to use their own means of die cataloging and entered this information on a ticket before selling coins? Many auction houses have the lazy habit of copying this information verbatim.

What Mick said, a very common pewter copy of an Elizabeth Threepence.

Business as usual, then! I still reserve the right to think you unusual, though. Keep going.

You are just very unusual, that’s all, you have the language and insights of someone who has put years into understanding numismatics, not short months. You appear to have achieved a great deal of knowledge in a very short timeframe, it’s baffling…I’d take it as a compliment!

No way you’re new to this, your language and approach is not elementary, it’s very weird! I know it’s not helpful or constructive to say this but I am really struggling, I can’t pitch you at all.

🤣🤣🤣 I love the date range spanning over 20 years, on account it has no mintmark! They could’ve at least narrowed it down to Third Coinage by the bust, that would’ve reduced the number count a bit…and maybe excluded Castle because of the reverse Lis? And PS I did get your email (thank you), will come back at ya tomorrow

Just for clarity, the above image is of the Comber, Wilkinson, Lockett example, not Rob’s. Though Rob’s is almost identical, a fabulous halfpenny.
