    Having said that, they, themselves, appear to have little or no idea about whether it’s a novelty replica of a crown OR a shilling? 🤷‍♂️

    Could always point them here? https://www.easyliveauction.com/catalogue/lot/a536faa3e2db7ce00acac8b1a21a944e/0af8d24542e81eb9357e7ef448a6646f/day-2-coins-banknotes-tokens-medals-military-lot-232/

    They’re going to ruin that 100% positive feedback with that 😆

    You can see the nick a little easier in this image.
  5. Coinery
    I think it’s more likely a Class 4 btw…that looks like a long contraction mark into the R and I reckon that’s a Class 4c crown with the nick in the left band.

    Not an error mentioned in Withers for your Edward I - there’s an unbarred TAII mentioned for Edward II, but that’s all. I can have a look to see what North has, but that’ll have to wait for now as I’m off to work.

    I simply cannot believe that a) someone submitted that for grading with sticky tape attached and b) that a grading company actually slabbed it along with the tape and graded it as ‘details!’ I personally wouldn’t be afraid at all of giving that a clean with as much acetone as is needed. Apply it with a Q-tip. You may have yourself a bargain there!
  8. Coinery
    Brilliant result!

    I’d say it is more polished than cleaned. Sounds like you’ve had a good buy, though! 👏👏

    The angle of that V is slightly steep, but there could well be a die like it somewhere…no denying that near-horizontal line in the image, though. I reckon that’s an Irish farthing myself. Couldn’t clearly see that in the first image. By the way, that’s a VERY decent couple of images, second time round 👏👏
  11. Coinery
    That is a stunning spot, Stu 👏👏👏

    Indeed, the rule is in focus…however, the coin itself is most definitely not! And, who on earth is www.HistoricCoinage.com? Is he that fine fellow, who doth inhabit the county of St Cuthbert’s resting place?
  13. Coinery
    Being in focus would be helpful, it’s a lot to ask from a blurry image.
  14. Coinery
    It’s not bad is it? Would definitely pass off in change back then!
  15. Coinery
    I came here to say the exact same thing! I’ve also noted the word ‘test’ in the top left corner, just in case that’s relevant?

    I’m not overly familiar with the numerals and serifs of the series, but is there any possibility it’s die-fill, or does that throw the shape of the number too much?
  18. Coinery
    Yes, a stunning grade, there! Lovely cut half 👏👏
  19. Coinery
    Nice! 👏 👏👏
  20. Coinery
    Forgetting the grade, the good thing about it for me is that there are no major digs or edge knocks/bruises, etc., making it a collectable fine too. Potentially your most valuable coin to-date?

    The reverse lis and lions sit distinctively high in their respective quarters…I did find this, which belongs to an anchor obverse. I guess we’ll have to wait and see!
  22. Coinery
    I’ll give you this much, you’re quite the detective. Your knowledge of these little details is very impressive. I do get the thrill, though, especially on those occasions where you’re seeking out (or waiting for) a complete example to finish the puzzle. Great stuff!
  23. Coinery
    Thanks, Stu, fingers crossed! It would end up being a freebie if it comes good…would end up being a previously unknown pairing, too, with the no-mark reverse! Though this is what makes me feel it probably isn’t. knowing my luck with trying to get hold of one of these, it will more likely end up being the crud from an old plug 😆
  24. Coinery
    Can’t be a rose, it’s the wrong bust…
