  1. A very generous heads-up for the penny boys, I sincerely hope it goes to a forum member! Thank-you Michael!
  2. 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!
  3. 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.
  4. I of course meant ornament not fleur!
  5. 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.
  6. Thank you - Spink 1456 - E with angular back ? Yarp!
  7. 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!
  8. Class 11b Penny
  9. Edward II
  10. Glad she's feeling better!
  11. 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...?
  12. Many happy returns to you!
  13. But we are all glad we have such a fine relic! At least I am!
  14. Sold! Thank-you, Sir!
  15. 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!

    Me too!
  17. 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.
  18. 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?
  19. 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!
  22. Got to love his belief in this!
  23. 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? ?
  24. 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.
