  1. Hah, I honestly didn’t mind, Chris…gave me my biggest smile of the day so far. 😆
  2. 💪💪💪💪
  3. Yes, as Paddy has narrowed it down to, the Bristol coin is class 3cd, and it looks to me that the London coin is a class 10/11 mule, on account of the angle-backed C on the reverse. This is an excellent resource if you haven’t any books on the series. https://www.rodblunt.com/edwardian-pennies
  4. This one is indeed a penny. Third coinage, mintmark lion, bust 3i
  5. Make sure it’s the surgical/household acetone, though, not the stuff you clean your nails with, as these mostly have moisturisers +\- other products added to them.
  6. Excellent stuff! 👏👏👏👏
  7. Nice intro., Chris, thanks for all the time you’re putting into this…much appreciated! 🤝
  8. No, not a threepence, it’s a threehalfpence. Coys is right, though, you definitely need a set of scales. 👍
  9. Agreeing with this wholeheartedly!
  10. Cross Crosslet Penny 👍
  11. I have to say, whilst I can’t explain away the flaw/issue, I feel the coin looks genuine to me…at least as much as studying an image can conclude. What about weight?
  12. Many thanks, Gents, much appreciated…will inform my soon-to-be-disappointed friend accordingly 👍
  13. If these are genuine mint errors, are they still worth the silly money that was being paid for them 8 years ago? Any recent sales for comparison? Best to slab if genuine?
  14. Hi @Chris Perkins are we anywhere near a fix for these issues, yet? I have to confess I don’t envy you trying to maintain a forum like this.
  15. Not my area but an interesting read…and 30,000, wow!
  16. I’d say the reverse is VF but the obverse NVF. So overall hovering a whisker below VF for me. In reality we’d only be talking small £s between the two grades anyway.
  17. No, unfortunately, I missed my bid 😩
  18. Glad it’s gone to a good home at least! Well done…I did wonder! ☺️
  19. Felt extremely stupid to have missed this ex Shuttlewood, eglantine penny, after my alarm failed to go off (I’m between nightshifts at the moment). Hammered at £260 - how cheap was that for such a great example!
  20. Another glitch! I couldn’t edit the above post just seconds later (I wanted to remove ‘anyway’)…it said the post cannot be edited as it’s either been deleted or is too old! 😩
  21. Anyway, it sold for £860, I thought the Americans might push it into the stratosphere…still prefer mine at £298
  22. Possibly, but there’s something other than contrast about this coin for me. My main bother is balance, the flat spots fall awkwardly for me, and the area at the obverse 3 o’clock is either crushed or corroded, which is also way too much for me. It’s a rare coin I guess, but…
  23. Coinery

    Roman?

    Correct 👍
  24. What are these worth, now? I’ll be bidding.
