Dont read this if you have not slabbed a cgs coin
Coinery replied to PWA 1967's topic in TPG Discussions
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! -

Not just me in knots about it, then! -

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! -
!927 Florin Mintage
Coinery replied to ozjohn's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
You're most welcome, Dan! There's plenty more chopped pork where that came from! -

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! -

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?
