    Very well spotted, Sir! That's now the third example I've seen!

    Nice bust, though, a shame about the raggy edge!

    Nb: I'd be extremely happy to have a shilling like that to look at on a regular basis!

    Hear, Hear, Rob! Also, Paulus, you might want to ask yourself the question "what am I doing with a pile of coins i don't like looking at", when "I could've had half the number of coins I do like looking at"?

    Ironically, it does get cheaper for a period, as you go further back in time, say H3-Ed1! So what about the smaller denominations, say pennies or halfgroats? You can get a lot of top-grade pennies/HGs for under a £100! My avatar bust is taken from a Halfgroat, that's pretty enough at under a £100 I reckon!

    Wow, you're busy out there??? some of the people you are asking questions of have long since vanished! Just thought I'd mention it in case you get frustrated by any lack of response!

    Interesting find with that old pattern! Just got to find that magic tin with some gold in it, now! I'm still looking!
  8. Coinery
    That's better than a £1 scrap, CT...good result!

    There really is some awesome photography on this thread! Lovely coins!
  10. Coinery
    Yes, I've had rusty-die W3 coins too!

    I was always taken by how sharp the ET in Beth was!

    Not certain, but it looks to have been plugged at 8pm on the reverse, which would favour its authenticity..Not always! http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/7161-interesting-elizabeth-i-fake-shilling/?fromsearch=1

    It's crap. There must be crossed wires somewhere as the idea beggars belief.They (the TPGC's) already have a pretty weighty catalogue of misdemeanours to contend with; to add flawed dies to the list is way, way, beyond the final nail in the coffin...totally bonkers, in fact! As far as I can make out, you really do have to go with crossed wires, it doesn't stand up any other way!
  14. Coinery
    Not just me in knots about it, then!
  15. Coinery
    I noticed that also Copper. That is probably the reason for the rejection. Still, a very nice example. Flan corrosion and die corrosion are altogether different beasts entirely, as we all know!Now I'm done, I promise!

    You're most welcome, Dan! There's plenty more chopped pork where that came from!
  17. Coinery
    At what point would a cracked die fail the CGS criteria for slabbing? I don't know why I tie myself into a tense knot over these things? OK, I'm better now and moving on!
  18. Coinery
    Wow, I honestly don't understand that at all! I don't see what the state of the die itself has to do with a CGS success or not? Thanks for the update, though, PWA!

    1739 Halfpenny. Single exergue line.

    Coinery replied to Michael-Roo's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.

    Unlikely to be filled across its entire length, and certainly not the result of a worn die.
  20. Coinery
    That's the kind of bold experiment required IMHO, would get the intelligent hobbiest back on track! Viva la VS

    Can I have a copy of the obverse image to cut out and add to my collection/future-website of e1 busts?

    Well that's that, Dave G, we've lost this thread now! Peter? It's funny, I once dated a girl called Victoria, she also had an attractive bun bust!

    That's also a very nice bust, are they your images, Mark?

    I'm going to my dad's tomorrow. If I haven't got a copy there, I'll have it!
