    Yes, I've had rusty-die W3 coins too!
  2. Coinery
    I was always taken by how sharp the ET in Beth was!
  3. Coinery
    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!

    Not just me in knots about it, then!
  6. 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!
  8. 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!
  9. 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!
  10. Coinery
    Unlikely to be filled across its entire length, and certainly not the result of a worn die.
  11. Coinery
    That's the kind of bold experiment required IMHO, would get the intelligent hobbiest back on track! Viva la VS
  12. Coinery
    Absolutely shocking! So very wrong!
  13. Coinery
    Can I have a copy of the obverse image to cut out and add to my collection/future-website of e1 busts?
  14. Coinery
    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!
  15. Coinery
    That's also a very nice bust, are they your images, Mark?
  16. Coinery
    I'm going to my dad's tomorrow. If I haven't got a copy there, I'll have it!
  17. Coinery
    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
  18. Coinery
    Just a bit of one, though the reverse may have been paired up with other obverses? I'm away from my books until tomorrow!
  19. Coinery
    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!
  20. Coinery
    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?
  21. Coinery
    Never tried the envelope trick before! What are the rough timescales and typical colouration?
  22. Coinery
    Take Dave's 1902 Proof Florin for example! 1911 Ah, yes!
  23. Coinery
    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!
  24. Coinery
    Take Dave's 1902 Proof Florin for example!
  25. Coinery
    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!
