I think a record of the punches would be a worthy addition to the already substantial body of work on this series.Edit: to continue... I'm seriously hoping to have some quality time available for such projects in the near future? This would be a tidy little project with a clear beginning AND end, I'm rather fancying it? Double edit: along with Mary and Elizabeth ( never enough time to contain my excitement about it all)

Now I come to think of it, it started after a hard refresh (both button shut down).It damned annoying, I know that! Grrr!
-
I think it's a 5? It says model A1507 on the back! It's the model preceding the very latest one! Can't believe I can't categorically say which model I have? ?
-
Oops, really? I didn't look beyond the image!You're still looking for one of them, aren't you, Paulus?
-
I know nothing about foreign coinage, but I wouldn't hesitate at £30 for that little lot, plus a 190+ more! Well done!
-
I guess a negative wouldn't bother them especially?
-
What's really interesting about your coin is it demonstrates that counterfeits were also created in strips/sheets. I didn't visualise that somehow!
-
I really don't know how Tim and Peck managed to distinguish between some of the counterfeits, some of them are really good - the reverse of yours being a reasonable example of how confusing it can be! What would be useful, in my opinion, is a full set of known punches that make up the devices. Of course a die-study would be better still. I don't think it would be such a difficult thing to document the punches, BCW managed it for the Elizabeth coinage (all denominations - threefarthings included).

OK, this could've been a challenge with some of the punctuation missing. However, with it being of poor style, titled BRIT, having a likely colon after ET, and 10 jewels in the crown (both), I'd say we are looking at a counterfeit. The mark looks tun/woolpack-like to me, meaning you have a Richmond Type 2 counterfeit of Everson C71

OK, cheers, gents! Canal it is, then!

Looks like it Christmas 2015 on the boat, then?

It's just that, as Peter suggests, you're much better off buying the full set than the 1d or 6d individually! Clearly, lots of eBay buyers don't realise this!It's likely why the 6d does well? We don't all chuck EII farthings in our Christmas puds and keep the best ones for ourselves, you know! Personally, I have so many Edward II farthings that I simply don't know what to do with them! You could always come to Christmas at ours? We'll do dinner, you bring the Christmas pud!

A little silk bag at 0.00002p from China, a polished 6d, and bob's your uncle...give me a fiver please!

Lucky sixpences in immaculate condition? Would you give anything less as a wedding gift or for a Christmas pud treat?
-
Yes, exactly as TG has said, definitely something to pass on!

Well, that's just messed up my 'fair usage' on my WiFi! It'll take a couple more hundred years, yet, I reckon? I do feel terribly sad to think that the German kids are still carrying the weight of it all today! Peace and good will for 2015! -

When you're ready? I've got my seat! -
Don't think much of the prints all over the first one, but what lovely pennies otherwise.
-
I do so wish Steve wasn't so busy at the moment, he'd love all this!
-
I prefer the term 'die-collectors' rather than variety collectors, as this seems more of a catch-all to me? Most in-depth studies ultimately head back towards the dies, and occasionally their progressive stages, or perhaps a deteriorating punch? I think this is the best part about it, it's what separates numismatics from whimsies!
-
I hope so! Anybody know defintively? I looked on their website and couldn't find much detail about the products. I'm guessing that they are so popular that its taken for granted that they are OK. There are so many things we take for granted, I guess, and, in all honesty, we take far greater things for granted than coin storage...where do we start, would we have the time?I truly hope that 'fit-for-purpose' Mylar coin flips are something that they claim to be? I'm going to be SO pissed off if, in twenty years time, we find out that the adhesive leaches into the card and dies the rims of the coins red, or something? I've lovingly decontaminated my coins before sealing them...if I don't outdo the tomb-boys I'll be gutted!
