Class 11b, as per Mr P's BsE coin recently posted, except his is the slightly shorter face, hence 11b1 if you've got the Galata guide the picture in the centre of page 39, "11b large face, rounded chin" is the one! ?
-
It's class 11 and looks fine to me! I'm watching some of the other coins this seller is listing. Unusual to see a number of better grade coins for sale at the same time!
-
The left hand point of the underlying 4 on John's coins points nearly halfway up the top loop of the 8 though?
-
Many thanks, Stu, what year was it published, will look it up. ? Anyone else looked at it?
-
That was going to be my comment, which means a high 4 is presumeably out there on another year? Whatever the finding, it'll be a very wide and stand-out last digit we'll be looking for on another die! Love coins and single malt, a very pleasing combination, even though I say so myself! So glad you're back, John! ?
-
Cool, and good work! What's short cross legends? You've got me intrigued! ?
-
Have you tried Rob?
-
There is a reason. I've read it somewhere, but can't think where, and can't think what, if that's any help? ? You're such an academic, coinery! -
I've always put 'numismatic items' or 'die-cast metal disks' on the paperwork... ...and always tell the PO that they are gaming tokens if they enquire further! ?
-
Brilliant! You don't see too many in collectable grades! ?
-
Great evening, thank-you, and head was surprisingly crystal clear in the morning! Would love to see the ACTUAL reverse when you get it! ?
-
Cheers, Mick! Yes, a massive milestone, really struggling to get my head around it! I'm reliably informed that 50, 60, and 70 are the new 30 and 40! I felt nothing about being 30 OR 40, but 50 is tough! Pressies? Joined the sailing club in Frampton, a few beers, and a bite to eat with the family...game of cards to finish (30p up), a perfect birthday! ?
-
I wonder who snaffled it? A perfectly acceptable Class 1 Henry III went as well 332374030300 . I would've liked the H3 myself. ?
-
Why thank-you, Sir! And please do call me Stuart, Stu, Stewpot, anything you like, really! ?
-
Just looked on eBay! They've got the wrong reverse image, it's probably a London as per the description.
-
Didn't get a chance to look, and I'm out for the weekend (50 today), arghh! there's a chance the pics are mixed up??

Anyone make a note of lot 1158? -
Nail on the head, Peter! ?

They know nuffin, TG, absolutely nuffin!

I 100% agree with you, and I'm guessing your 2 point grading system is quite simply: grade 1 - I like/want it! grade 2 - I don't like/need it! I'd have to add a third tier to that grading system, however, the... "grade 3 - holy mother of god I so, SO, want that!" ...kind of grade/variety!
-
I'm just grateful that, for the most part, the grades belonging to raw hammered coins remain blissfully simple.
-
Yes, even a claim of GF would have me returning to look at it over and over, before finally saying (at best) "mmm, ok, in some people's eyes...maybe...but there's no way I'd be parting with a penny above recent sales documented at fine grade for the variety." What a shocker!
-
This slabbing thing still amazes me! Yes, weak strike, soft strike, clogged devices...yet, with even all that taken into consideration, there is still nothing about even the best of the remaining devices that could warrant the grade! 152705034251
