Glad she's feeling better!

DRYING the washing is the tricky bit! Glad she's home, Sir! Have a great weekend the both of you! A little peck for Mrs Peter to help her mend...? maybe a little one for you too...?
-
Many happy returns to you!
-
But we are all glad we have such a fine relic! At least I am!
-
Sold! Thank-you, Sir!

Anyone interested before it goes on eBay? Covers a lot of interesting 'high-science' stuff. Cleaning of Coins and Medals by G. Welter - Hans M. F. Schulman/New York 1970 ex. Library Stock. Serviceable copy £5 + post to wherever you are. Weight will be around 500g with packaging.

Looking forward to hearing that the now-famous Mrs Peter is home and well. A nursing best wishes from us here in Frampton! Don't forget to take it steady yourself as well old bean!

Weird fifty pence
Coinery replied to Creature3's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
As a chemist you've probably got access to some very accurate scales, can you get the weight of both coins? As PWA mentioned, the one coin looks bigger, is that an optical illusion? Is the reverse you show the exact match for the reverse of your's? -
Weird fifty pence
Coinery replied to Creature3's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
My guess would be it has been sat on a corrosive surface? I wouldn't say it is something of numismatic interest myself? Thanks for finding us, though, it's always interesting when anomalies turn up! Do wait for other views on here, as it's never as simple as it looks, and I'm using an iPhone on GPRS to view! -
Another problem, I guess, is whilst you want dialogue on certain posts, you don't want to open the floodgates to single posters, which might effectively swamp the numismatically interesting discussions. Hmmmmm!

I suppose the perfect venue in that case would be an integrated FBpage and Forum, where both parties could communicate on the same platform! Does such a thing exist? Will a piece of software be developed that can communicate between the two? Auctiva somehow manages to interact with the eBay machine, so I guess it might be possible one day? The forum that does that first will be king!

Got to love his belief in this!

There is an excellent series of publications called "Collectors Coins" by the publisher "Rotographic" that give the RM prices for the various sets. Sounds interesting! Have you thought of checking there, Chris? ?

What's up with this coin?
Coinery replied to Nordle11's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
There are some great acid images somewhere on this forum for comparison. They all show the increased erosion upon the stressed metal around the devices, as is mentioned above. -
Nice 1869 Farthing - Well, Stunning!

PHWoooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaar! ? -
And to add...very little margin at all at that end of the grade spectrum, maybe 2.75-2.8g?
-
Nothing about it that 'looks' wrong to me! I'd definitely recheck that weight on some proper scales, though.
-
Gorgeous, Pete!
-
Yes, you get a much better sense of the tonal quality in the images taken with the E2 penny! I think it's come up really well!
-
Given they can't even give a reign, where did they pluck that figure from! Hopeful? Gotta love eBay! 252028974667
