    I think so many lower-grade detector finds are spit and foil to clean, that anything is possible. When hammered is really crappy, and consequently aggressively cleaned, the end result is a flat, washed out, and uninspiring coin. I believe the deep-layered cabinet tone of old collectors’ coins on good metal, is what we’re all really looking for.

    Really cheeky one…would someone be kind enough to share an image of the current Spink prices for the 6th issue E1 halfgroats? I appreciate current auction sale prices are the best search and measure of true worth, but curious:)

    All a bit worrying, that’s for sure!

    I took some screen shots on my iPhone but the files are apparently too large, and I haven’t got access to a laptop/pc right now 😩 Really frustrating!
  5. Coinery
    Give up!
  6. Coinery
    You could actually buy a worthy coin with 4 of these washers!

    That’s standard punctuation but rotated…you can see it correctly orientated between DG AN

    Ahh, yes, a good and logical shout, thank you

    Strange isn’t it? Not a super-grade coin…I can’t imagine it being worthy of copying. I appreciate the overmark is of interest to a small minority, but otherwise nothing noteworthy about it in the context of the other specimens out there.

    Ha, ha, yes, of course…it’ll probably be yours eventually Hope you’re all keeping well!
  11. Coinery
    I agree, and I’m grateful it’s still deeply under the skin, it’s such a tangible and lovely art!

    @Peckris 2 blimey…how do I resize an image on my iPhone? How are you, by the way?
  13. Coinery
    Frustrating that uploading images I’ve just screenshot and cropped on my phone is SO difficult because they are apparently still too large!

    And there was me thinking, after selling ALL my coin books for a song, that I’d never buy a hammered (in fact any) coin again! I still love the Elizabeth I coins the best…blimey, I now need to buy a BCW again! 😳 In the meantime, anyone happy to share photos of the sixpence section, with the relevant rose, lions, shield and Lis bits at the back of the book to accompany?

    Could be the remnants from an old die, possibly not ground back enough before punching up in readiness for a new coin?
  16. Coinery
    Well spotted, I didn’t check out the reverse!
  17. Coinery
    Hi CA, that’s basically just a jump in the die, causing a part of it to be double-struck. The A under V will be a bit of the W. If you look at the tops of the III’s you’ll see they’ve rotated too. Not rare or valuable, for me it makes it less desirable, though some out there rather like the miss-strikes. It’s actually not a bad little coin, keep enjoying it!

    Would really love to know about the soft close on CGS in my other post if you have any experience or insights?
  19. Coinery
    Ha ha, that really made me smile, brilliant! I’m so glad I asked 😊 Imagine at a coin club telling BCWs Chris Comber he was wrong about an Elizabeth three pence! That will make me chuckle ‘til Christmas and beyond! Thanks for that, Richard, have a great Christmas and a very happy new year! Best, Stuart

    Was just reading through a few old posts and stumbled across this one! Of course CC has since died, but did you ever get to show him your coin?
  21. Coinery
    However, extremely frustrating to watch it pass nonchalantly across the screen, leaving one helpless to do anything much about it! A bit like being on planet watch, only to watch helplessly as we screw that up too 🙁
  22. Coinery
    Shocking behaviour...check out both images! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184720682573
  23. Coinery
    Phenomenal coin!
  24. Coinery
    Definitely different lettering for me, especially when compared against Nick’s example.
  25. Coinery
    So how would it be possible to distinguish between the pattern and the proof coin, with all devices being equal? Is that the main enquiry?
