    Adjustment lines or not?

    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?
  6. No, I'm only talking about the overdate proposal. I personally think the circles are post mint damage.
  7. 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.
  8. 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?
  9. 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?

    Canon Camera Set-Up for Sale

    Was going with the flow, Peter! ?
  11. 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

  21. Does anyone have any ideas why I might be unable to access the forum through my wifi connection with WiFi Spark? I can access the forum using my phone data on GPRS, but this means I can't view images (without the patient of a saint), and get booted off with 'you don't have access to forum on this server' if I switch to wifi! I have an account with WiFi Spark who say it's not an issue with their service, and confirmed the forum route isn't blocked. I use a router which is wired to an outside aerial. My laptop also has the same error message when trying to connect to the forum via this wifi connection. I've cleared the cache on my laptop ( a month), but no difference! Any ideas?

    Using acetone to clean coins

    Yes, I've enjoyed my godliness very much! People have been flocking to my door for advice, day and night! But, now, I'm tired of it all, I'm going to come over there and have some of what you are having instead! let's drink bourbon straight and talk about slabbing! Better get in the caterers too because this God is going to take a lot of talking round on that front, and we'll need to eat! John, you've got a long way to go before you'll ever come close to convincing me, or hopefully any other soul here!
