You're not a Mod are you, Peck? I loved the Jam and Selector! Was never that fussed by The Who, but had a couple of squirrel tails once? Alert, Alert, Alert...only a nurse can say this (hopefully)? I'll get my coat!
-
Yes, again, that really looks like a VIP coin!
-
Rubbish! Would eat my hat!
-
Do you know what has always fascinated me? That you are obviously SO passionate about photography, yet opted instead to scan your other great love? I'm surprised you never tied the two together.I'm furious, just think on what we're missing!

Wouldn't it also have a proof/proof-like obverse?

A 1933 penny sale would've been all over the world news, and would've made significantly more than £80k, surely? It would be an ultimate acquisition for the princes and monarchs of bottomless pockets! The general public wouldn't even get to sniff it IMHO!

Your dream coin?

What I'd really love, most of all, is to explore the hammered gold of elizabeth and buy a really nice pair of silver crowns! -
So does she!

Yes, there's 49 busts in all, but a few extra will be added to highlight the break-up of the punches. For example there's the crumbling crown of bust 1H and the significant chunk of hair missing from bust 1F - only just spotted that!

I can't stand the even sheen of a lacquered coin! -
Nope!

Coinery replied to numismatist's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I can't see it, sorry! Possibly a poorly double stamped (partially rotated) second 5? Looking at the first of the two fives it's looking like there was something going on with the punch anyway? -
As are the coins, Sir!

Cheers, Mark!

Hello, Debbie!

I've only just realised, when cutting bust 1F out, that the topmost curl at the back of the head has broken away somewhere between the Cross-Crosslet and the Martlet/Pheon, which means nearly all the sixpences will be with the broken curl. Anyway, it would be relatively easy to date the fracture from the bust usage across the groats and the 6ds! One day!

Your's does have a 2 in date (1592)! Lol yes i know but i was more curious of your date, plus why on the OBV of yours, but as you say its easy To mistake an E for a 2 lol, Obviously if a pile of punches were sitting around Then it Would easily picked up, but that would then beg the question as to why more errors did'nt occurPlenty did but, in the main, I'm guessing most people were especially cautious, most of the time, she was a bit of a tyrant, our Liz!
-
Is there anyone else out there seeing a 2 now I've highlighted it, or am I still alone on this? Which i don't mind, of course! ?
-
Maybe, or just an accidental double-strike of the P punch? Who knows he might've had the wobbles when he realised he'd just smacked a 2 in the legend?As you say, though, there would probably be some sort of attempt to obliterate it, as I'm sure a double-bounced P wouldn't reap anything like the penalty a glaring error would?
