    Have you the coin with those tickets, not a common 6d that?
  2. Coinery
    Looks like it to me
  3. Coinery
    No these are the tickets that belonged to an earlier sale, before J.J. purchased it to sell, I got confused with me pictures 😬 The neater hand is agreed to be Comber (there’s a couple of other Comber tickets posted in recent days for comparison), so it’s now the left I’m curious about? Sorry for the confusion.

    Thanks for that Interesting…why would he write two for the same coin?
  5. Coinery
    This is a misunderstanding
  6. Coinery
    Thanks, Jerry, really appreciate your input here! I thought the right hand ticket looked Comber, any thoughts on the left, from what little is shown? Edit: sorry I meant TopCarp2 and he’s definitely signing himself off as Stephen???
  7. Coinery
    Can confirm the ticket to the right is Stephen’s of Top Carp 👍 Anyone for the left one?
  8. Coinery
    Can I ask a favour…does anyone recognise the tickets accompanying this coin? some of the details in the right hand ticket looks Comber, but what of the left?
  9. Coinery
    Aww, that’s great…I’d say that’s a match. Many thanks for that! Edit: Just thinking ‘1558 in obverse legend’ ? What does it belong to?
  10. Coinery
    I was hoping this ticket would be Comber’s, but it looks as though he prints in capitals, unless he ever went through a phase of lowercase italics?

    Still down! I downloaded the app., but will be deleting it, just as soon as the site’s back up.
  12. Coinery
    Only just got this 🤣🤣
  13. Coinery
    Some heathen humour 😁

    They really aren’t making it clear…is that really worth $90 already? It’s got Spink and North cataloguing…what’s the Withers ref all about?

    You’d think they’d know better than this? You could be eating your lunch, whilst talking on your phone at a train station, and STILL spot this one in a shop window across the other side of the rail track with one eye closed!

    Amazing the difference two photos can make! The first looks like it’s just popped off the die, the second, like it’s been on the bottom of the ocean a few hundred years!
  18. Coinery
    I was simply looking at various dies for the double crown and came across these two that were difficult to reconcile. I initially assumed them to be different coins of the same die…I think it a tricky call, photography versus analysis, for me at least. Interestingly the chronology is all wrong at London Coins, which counts against me to be fair!

    The stop before IACOBVS? Try expanding the SAS at the bottom of the coin?

  21. Coinery
    These two coins are meant to be exactly the same coin, photographed at different times. Of course photography can vary, but this one looks comparatively mushy…what do you think?
  22. Coinery
    I laughed more at the 68p postage
  23. Coinery
    Fabulous little halfpennies you have there! It was always my understanding that they were cut from sheet with shears but, on reflection, that seems incredibly labour intensive, and I can’t remember how, or where, I came to that conclusion. I’ve just had a read through BCW and they make no mention of it.
  24. Coinery
    You should, before they become unaffordable…they’ve absolutely sky-rocketed in the last 10 years.
  25. Coinery
    Not the best macro shots from my phone, but a doable portrait…for me at least
