    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!
  4. Coinery
    Nope!

    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?
  11. Coinery
    As are the coins, Sir!
  12. Coinery
    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!

    Many thanks, Dave and Mark, very much appreciated! I'll be putting them on my resource website for E1, just as soon as I've the time to create it! www.elizabeth-coins.co.uk - maybe never, but I hope not!

    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! ?
  18. Coinery
    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?

    Your's does have a 2 in date (1592)!
  20. Coinery
    No, not the same date, but from a coin with a 2 in the date. My point being, that if a 2 punch is at hand, it sometimes gets used in error.
  21. Coinery
    I think you'll have to file a case to get your final value fees back! Or at least you needed to a year ago, the last time I was active on there?
  22. Coinery
    Another example of 2 in legend.
  23. Coinery
    OK, PM sent (for personal collection)!
  24. Coinery
    OK, this is what I'm seeing on the Elizabeth 6d posted in Coin Aquisition by Azda! So, IMHO, a mistaken 2 for P in Posvi (I've seen number 2 clearly in the legend of 2 other coins), corrected by P (double punched). I could be wrong, as the vagarities are many, but I'd be calling it that if it were mine!
  25. Coinery
    The ghost/shadow after the S also looks to be a V, and the other straight-edged shadow of a letter before the I is not in alignment with the strong V beside it, which makes me wonder about a coin getting stuck in the machinery and damaging the die? Do you know whether they were grinding off and remaking dies from old stock in this period, as was common with the hammered coinage?
