A really good example of what I mean by balance and even wear in this £350 offering of the same coin from eBay. Even though some of the bust is better, I know which is the better coin by far!
-
Just had another closer look…I can’t see any tooling myself? Where in particular do you mean? At £200 I did buy it with hearts in my eyes, so always easy to miss these things
-
Yes, it’s just so well balanced, nothing more worn than the other, and enough of a bust (again even wear) for the grade that it makes a really pretty picture for me! Plus, as you say, the beginnings of a nice old tone
-
Only just noticed ‘scallop’ in the title…either too much beer at the time or autocorrect, not sure which, maybe both
-
Haven’t seen this in-hand, yet, but I’m expecting it to hold up pretty well. Bought from Eric Knowles of all people.

An unbelievably great thing you and your family are undertaking…a huge inspiration to those of us who spend time moaning about our lot in life!

Much MUCH better in-hand, on a huge flan…extremely happy! An absolute bargain at £200 delivered!

I’ve watched this over and over, shared it over and over…something special about this one, but can’t put my finger on it! It’s sexual, it’s natural, it has equality embedded in it…sounds like I’m a madman, but it has such a fun and healthy ‘feel’ about it! Clearly I can’t describe it, but a great moment…love it! -
I realise on strict grading this is at best a ‘fine/good fine’ coin but, overall, I think it a really worthy Shilling, being centrally struck on a decent round flan, and with a good balance of strike and wear to add to its overall eye-appeal! I bloody love it, and thank James Tout for keeping this one aside for me.

It's amazing what photography can do!?

You could be waiting a long time for that answer I reckon! -

Apparently you just ‘remove [the] surface residue’ and, hey presto, everything’s amazing! Superb spot @oldcopper -
Phenomenal, Rob…HUGE respect 🙏

May as well hang a rarity around your neck if you’re going to! I’ve always had an old E1 sixpence on leather cord around mine…lost 2 along the way though! I often think of the pool attendant in Greece who’ll likely have stumbled across one of them!
-
Wow, what happened?
-
Crazy prices…honestly, some of the shoddy Edward pennies I saw were silly money! Maybe everything was? Maybe just DNW?
-
-
I watched a number of the lots go out today and couldn’t believe the prices! I wanted lot 136, the Elizabeth sixpence, but that sold for over £450 with juice! I thought I’d get the halfpenny however to sell on - not a particularly nice flan OR coin really - but £167 for God’s sake!
-
The 4 is much more up for debate in your example
-
I’d have to go with some kind of 4 involvement myself. Is there any way of ruling out (or in) any of the theories by looking back over the dies with regards to that distinctive bead below the 5?

Just got in from work…your post really moved me! 🙏
