Buying coins from the US
Coinery replied to youliveyoulean's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Don't be tempted to mark down the value of a high-value coin on the customs forms to avoid the duty. The insurance company wouldn't even look at you if it went missing! Even if they did, you've have to prove you weren't behaving fraudulently first...you'd likely end up with an unwanted fine and sentence, well in excess of the original tax. If you can find an international courier that will fully insure a £2k coin for a reasonable price I'd be interested to know about them! -
10cf2 for me! ? The ornaments stand much taller, and the right hand fleur is far less splayed on crown 5. And 100% with you on Blunts article. Have you got Withers' book of Edward I and II pennies? That's worth every penny from Galata too!

The Plantagenet coins worth having are very crisp indeed! A lovely series of coins, as is the OP coin! ?
-
No, not at all, you mentioned the weight...anyway, got to go, take it easy out there! ?
-
6g ?

Only for the reasons I raised...if they were perfectly straight on the flan pre-strike, would they really be so straight post-strike? If they happened during the striking process, and the marks were left on a fully struck up coin, wouldn't wear, as can be seen on the coin, infill and smooth over at least some of the lines? If you look at the lettering on any coin, even 20thC coins, wear spreads the metal out!

You brought the weight into it which made me think you may have thought I was doubting authenticity? ☺️

Bit odd that people can randomly post without so much as a registration, though! Not sure of the wisdom of that, or of its potential to destabilise some hard-won and sensitive relationships on here? Hey ho!
-
Yes, all my comments! ?
-
Not doubting the authenticity, Paul, just answering your question about the origin of the lines! Whilst there is no explanation for it, I think they are post mint, as are the others! How they came to be across SO many coins I have no idea. ?

If you know what I mean?

Circular scratches on Early Milled shilling
Coinery replied to Conor44's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
No, I'm only talking about the overdate proposal. I personally think the circles are post mint damage. -

Without overwhelming other evidence, I'd also say no, though it appears to be the same 'error' that's being reported as that overdate. It's my thought that the 3 might have curled around much more on the freshly made die, but over a short period has become clogged and damaged, maybe even rusty (the general state of the dies shown are pretty poor overall). Then at some point a repair happened, quite possibly using the punch that makes up the tail of the 6 and 9 (could challenge the 9/0 variety too, if the original 6 and 9 weren't composite, but repaired with a new punch?), which was used to create a slightly different and lower line, which may have been intentional to make for a clearer looking 3? Clear as mud I know! More likely a recut in my opinion. -

I'm personally not convinced about this overdate at all, though it'll be interesting to see your's, C44. The fact the feature appears on different dies weakens the argument a bit. The inverted 2 idea was interesting, excepting the even greater unlikelihood that an inverted 2 would've been mistakenly punched into multiple dies? -

A bit of further reading for you! -

Coinery replied to Conor44's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Yes, these massively affect the value of the coin. Massively! Also, in all honesty, if I'd been selling this coin, I don't think I would've thought it necessary to mention such a glaring issue in the description? Can we have a close up of the overdate? -
Was going with the flow, Peter! ?

Just thought I'd run it past you guys (and gals) first! 1 x Canon EOS 1100D Camera 1 x Canon Ultrasonic EF100mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens Never been outside, and comes with original packaging, charger, manuals, discs, bag, tripod, strap, SD card, etc. I paid £700 plus delivery for it...would like £465 (free UK post). I won't be able to help AT ALL with using it, as I've only ever 'pointed and shot' with it, using a setting I'd never find again. The manuals and information are available with the camera, you'd need to have a keen interest in photography, that's for sure! I'd certainly recommend a local camera club. Anyway, a 100% genuine and well cared for camera if you're interested? Cheers, Stuart
