If you know what I mean?
-
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!
-
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! ?

A pleasure, I hope you enjoy it! Best regards, Stuart ?

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
-
SOLD! Enjoy the read, MrBE! Many thanks, everyone. Regards to all, Stuart
-
I should add for clarification that, yes, it is still available, though MrBE (I PMd you yesterday!) now has first refusal! I've taken it off eBay to keep it available!
-
Still feeling blessed, m'friend, thank-you! I think of you often, I hope things are easier; weird how a few years of cyber-talk can make a connection! Stay safe out there, buddy!
-
Thanks, Peter!

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!

This guy drinks more wine than I do!
-
Most, as I'm sure you will subsequently find, will actually agree, NOT disagree!
-
That's a fair response, from which I must now bow out!
-
I have 10 year old coins which have been acetoned before me right now! Where you are coming from on this I do not know, or why you perceive flicking off a green cruddy contaminant to be any different to removing grease?
-
For goodness sake, John, we are NOT talking about verd or oxidation here! For the benefit of anyone new, we are talking about removing contaminants BEFORE your product (whether it is good or not, and I'd say probably not) is ever required. Hopefully good practice in decontamination will reduce the necessity for your product full stop! i have to say I'm totally exhausted in explaining what is a very simple process that has ABSOLUTELY NO connection whatsoever to the process of cleaning! wiping a coffe spill from an antique piece of furniture is good practice, not full-blown restoration!

Best basic identifier for voided cross pennies?

Thank-you, Sir!
