Dont read this if you have not slabbed a cgs coin
Coinery replied to PWA 1967's topic in TPG Discussions
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. -
Some of my British Coins - new pictures
Coinery replied to marvinfinnley's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
That's the kind of bold experiment required IMHO, would get the intelligent hobbiest back on track! Viva la VS -
Absolutely shocking! So very wrong!
-
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!
-
This is always worth a read when you can't get to hard-copy books, though! http://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ/pdfs/1988_BNJ_58_9.pdf
-
Just a bit of one, though the reverse may have been paired up with other obverses? I'm away from my books until tomorrow!
-
Someone definitely mislaid/mistook or broke the V punch! This is one of the earliest of the beaded Lis reverses, it would be interesting to see whether it was a one off die, or whether others were made? That's where a die-study would be an amazing thing to have access to!
-
I'd love to one day extend the work by BCW to include legend errors and, as I've mentioned before, perhaps even a die-study! You just can't have a job at the same time, unfortunately! Wouldn't that be a great way to while away a life?

Never tried the envelope trick before! What are the rough timescales and typical colouration?

Take Dave's 1902 Proof Florin for example! 1911 Ah, yes! -
Hi Dave, I'd say that was just a striking error, you can see a level of rotation at the 9 O'clock leaf, and the inner beads in the same quarter!

Excellent idea Stuart!Keep it on embers, Declan! 'Keep it secret, keep it safe'!And re an old proposal I didn't get to deal with at the time, on account of brain-scramble, I also thought that was a great idea! Sorry I didn't have the courtesy to deal with it before it was lost beneath a million other issues of living! Having met you I somehow knew you might forgive me, and knew you'd definitely understand!

1799 farthing varieties
Coinery replied to declanwmagee's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Harrumph. I've been back several hours, you know... A welcome revival Frankenstein! Sorry, Declan, had a surprise visit, and never got a chance to dig the box out! looks like you have your answer now anyway! Well done! -

Coinery replied to declanwmagee's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
There's certainly a chance, on a cursory glance! Will dig out peck! Edit: by that I mean there's a blob in the right place! -
The forum's great, a fine place to sit our coins for comments and learning! I can't think of anyone else in my village who I could meet with and have an intelligent chat about coins, thereby upping my coin game? :roll-eyes There's Declan, of course! It's about time (around 6 months) that we started a coin club in the area? Once a month in a local pub, Declan?

I have better. But that one has the second reverse with the Aberystwyth plumes, so I'd like an upgrade of the first in due course... . Phhhtttt! So fussy...not like the new found Azda at all!
-
C'mon, PWA, no-one judges anyone on here for grammar (except in fond banter), it's a general understanding in a modern society that intelligence doesn't ride side by side with exams and a degree! As far as I'm concerned, if a man can make enough money in life that he has the luxury of buying quality coins, he is beyond grammatical reproach as far as I'm concerned! I can't afford the EII set at the moment, PWA!

Not sure? It might be worth double-checking your posts before posting, maybe??? There are a number which are difficult to follow, and sometimes (unintentionally, I'm sure) misleading, on account of punctuation, maybe???? I could be a million miles away, so apologies...just throwing ideas at it?

Aye, many happy returns! Re Gollum, I got the impression he burnt himself out a bit? I did wonder if something was going tits up when he started posting pictures of his wife? He was certainly afire for a while, that's for certain! I'm struggling to think of his username before he became Gollum? Can't think!

It was a good thread, PWA...threads like it always tend to winkle out something interesting! Have a good weekend! Happy hunting! Stuart
