Coinery

Noooooooooooooooooooooo, don't spoil it!

I 100% agree the dates look different, but take a look at the waves also, I'm not so sure they are anything like the same grade? I'd never expect to find such a significant variety to be honest...keep looking, though, as they are by no means all found, no by a long shot!

just gave us a big belly laugh!

Sorry for the delay...and all credit of course due to: P. Alan, Raynor (1992) English Silver Coinage Since 1649 [5th ed.] pg.201, Seaby, London. (as far as I can remember from my UNI days,using the Harvard System?)

Not a mule! Not an A over Escallop! Not a top grade! A over Bell, regular issue sixpence in regular grade, but big money! 300939556278

Ok, found out how, but can't resize it! Have you got an ESC, TG, will upload the page from the laptop if not?

I was having a browse through ESC this morning, and reading page 201 sheds a little more light on your question. I've attached a rubbish iPhone image, not sure how readable it is, but may be enough to justify digging it out??? Oh, hang on, how do I add an iPhone image, when using an iPhone?

Oh, you've just laid the golden egg on here, tracyaw!

Unless it's catalogued, I wouldn't say it'll make a premium above it's book for grade, personally. I'd keep it, I doubt it'll even dent a bronze Victoria purchase. Good spot, though!

Yes, he's not getting off lightly with that one, is he chaps?

So can you explain the features that lead you to that Stuart? I have yet to have a glass of anything alcoholic today. Perhaps I'm channeling Peter? Are you SURE you haven't, and SURE you're not?

"Not sure if the piercing has gone all of the way through, I haven't tried it yet" ??????? Edit: oh I see, it's been drilled from both sides but the craftsman couldn't align the holes!

Also, if you're just interested in collecting the F numbers, you can use Gouby for supporting evidence! Much as Groom's book, apart from being a tome in its own right, is widely used as a modern updated supporting text for efficiently identifying the Davies and ESC AND F numbers of the 20thC!

Dipping bronze and copper : S Failure to understand or adjust camera's White Balance : C7 Nuff said i'm guessing as these people take photos of coins on a hourly basis (my guess) their set up will be spot on Don't believe it. The pictures may be sharp, even, well exposed, etc, and the set up absolutely perfect, but none of that guarantees an understanding of how to set White Balance. 100% agreed! White Balance is undeniably the Black Art of coin photography! I do mean to get to the bottom of it one day!

I felt certain I responded to this?? Did we lose anything during the crossover? Thanks, Nick!

Blinkin' 'eck, Pies, now there's a question! I haven't the foggiest, but do enjoy the search as much as the purchase...lucky you!

Quite!

I wonder though, if in a real fire, whether it would make any difference at all what storage you used? The temperatures are far and away above those of an oven. I guess if they were in a fireproof safe, or a different room, it could make a difference???? Nice but of research, though, nothing like actually trying something!

It was a breeze!

I haven't got any money at all! :(

Is this a wind up? Sorry for a noob question but whats wrong with this auction?Nothing, unless you're after a FARTING!

Over-stretched and overworked exists for no other reason than we are by nature a greedy species! If being stretched and impatient is simply about personal greed then, at the very least, this should be kept to oneself, and not lashed out upon the passer by, especially if they come bearing pots of gold! IMHO!

Just out of interest, did you see the documentary about the push in northern France to secure enigma equipment? What sacrifice! I can't imagine the 'modern man' ever accepting that situation!Lord knows what kind of man this makes me, but nobody would ever stick me on a landing craft and send me out to certain death! How the 1940's man was persuaded otherwise is a great mystery to me! And I should perhaps add, that my point is not to rob the man that DID sacrifice at that time of any honour, I'm incredibly grateful that we never came to face ethnic cleansing and human experiments as a norm! Hey ho! Great documentary, though!

Now there's a surprise!

I can't see anything on my phone but, the grinding back of old die stock, can leave underlying marks, could it be that? Rob's the man, he's got coins even with traces of devices left behind!
