  3. I'm amazed at the stability of the image. Very impressive.

    What Dave says is also true of local antique auctions. You can always find half a dozen sovs a month going through the local auctions. The interesting bit, again as Dave mentioned, is that they rattle through, more or less at the bullion value for gold. Now, if you take a close look at these coins, you will find Fine going for the same value as AUNC.

    Error coins

    Suspicious as hell to me!Also, it was the sellers responsibility to refund you, and make the claim against the post office! They would probably have blown him out for inappropriate/poor packaging, but that's his cherry to suck, not your's. You shouldn't have been out of pocket!

    ID help please Edward ?

    Thanks! It's a teeny-weeny bit out of focus, believe it or not, but great for showing details like these, and SO much better than drawn images. As much as I love BCW's work, their line-drawings of the Elizabeth I busts (the same ones you see in Spink's) don't assist a tenth compared to a photographic image of the bust itself.

    I of course meant ornament not fleur!

    ID help please Edward ?

    The broken left fleur is a dead giveaway for crown 11, so not difficult at all on this occasion. This crown here has a few distorting dings, but is the same punch 11 as yours.

    Or did it get lost?I've had numerous approaches after an auction has finished, sometimes offering me a significant amount more than the final eBay price! In a slightly different way it happened to me quite recently with a rare E1 Halfgroat that Dave won of mine on eBay! I was offered over £300 for it, just 2 days later!

    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...?

    Weird fifty pence

    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

    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!
