    Maybe a piece of crud damaged the die?

    There's a correlation between post numbers and the timescales for editing!

    I've had two of these before, and seen another in hand, and they're not all thick. In fact the one I had in a W&W lot was 'hammered' thin. This is one of the lesser ones I've seen! Thanks for putting the images up TG! The seller mentioned nothing about it being a copy in the title, which is rather misleading TBH.

    One of the better cast fakes out there! 121824795119

    Saw this 351587618787 on eBay and thought 'hmmm, Edward II Farthing, Saxby must be getting himself a little help?' But looked at the obverse and thought, 'ah, maybe not!' Reassuringly Saxby's!

    The rusty dies are a plus, though!

    Goodness, this one looks more suspect than the OP coin? Apart from the general 'look' of it, the pinholes on the reverse 4 o'clock lions and lettering, the poorly formed II of XII. I've only taken a cursory look at the image in Spink, but the OP jewels seem correct, when comparing to that crown cushion?I know you're now going to tell me your coin has provenance going back 200 years, and it's been in the hands of endless collectors...

    Nothing leaps out with the shilling, but I'm unfamiliar with the shield details on this series and would want to check that out if I was buying. Also, I'd definitely be checking it for weight and silver content if it was me.

    I don't feel happy about the testoon. Take a look at the lettering, FRA especially! Would love to get a close-up view inside that split, to determine whether it's a hammered split, rather than a cast one.

    All the best, John! Take it easy out there! ?

    Ah, OK, that'll be post Laurie, then!
  12. Coinery
    I've been a couple of times! Let's just say at least one grade if you are distance buying! Can be some bargains if you are in the room, due to blind bidding being somewhat reduced. When did Laurie die? Just trying to establish whether my visits were pre or post his passing?
  13. Coinery
    All the best, pal! Take it steady out there, and enjoy the weekend! Birthday treat tomorrow methinks? ??
  14. Coinery
    You and your's too, m'friend!
  15. Coinery
    Nooo! And my sincere apologies again for my present distractions! Blessing!
  16. Coinery
    I use Serif too, but the Serif PagePlus package, can highly recommend their software!

    Why you should never attempt to grade hammered coins! Here's a "BOLD VF" from Baldwin's! http://www.baldwin.co.uk/coins/great-britain/hammered-british/richard-ii-penny-york-rare-in-vf.html?usrc=1

    Wow, good on ya, Stuntman! Never ever begrudged a man the trappings, even from the perspective of being skint! This is the one of the wonderful insights that pastimes like this brings, where people of all walks of life can meet at a common point! History and coins are a pretty good meeting place for Caymans and £1k Hyundais! Brilliant! Love coins!
  19. Coinery
    Hah, ha, yes, never getting anywhere fast, that's very much me! ? I always fancied an Alpha, but would probably go for a sporty Jag if I had the money! If! O' if! We're hammering a Hyundai Getz into the ground at the minute, so who am I to comment on prestige cars?
  20. Coinery
    Oh, good, glad you were late to the party! Happy birthday from someone who was even later! Fashionably late, of course!
  21. Coinery
    Yes, I can see that now, too! ? An inverted 6 corrected in error by an inverted 6! Love coins!
  22. Coinery
    I'd say 9/9 too, Debbie!
  23. Coinery
    Take it easy out there, Mr S. Time for a wee nip of something to help you sleep!
  24. Coinery
    Lovely tribute, Peter, you're a great man! Stay safe out there, m'friend! I for one would love to see some pictures of Mrs Peter on this thread. You can never have too much of a good thing on a coin forum!
  25. Coinery
    Oh, fuck, Peter, so, SO, sorry to hear that, m'friend! So very sorry! Fucking, 'ell, mate...so thinking of you right now! Aw, mate!
