apologies to the seller and for wasting your time gents does look real to be fair when comparing against a penny the lettering and design are interestingly very different. i always thought a reducing machine was used for these, but might be too early for this tech?
-
really good fake 1797 penny, a lot of subtlties are different
-
i dont think fibers but underlying details from the over struck Spanish 8R?
-
convert to a smaller size, pics will help judge whether the reduction in weight is justified

Ebay find turns out to be proof 1928 6d
rpeddie replied to Generic Lad's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
love this series, ?problem? with it is in my opinion the proofs did not get much better of a strike than good, much cheaper, BU examples. I had a proof 1936 6d PF 65 and a 1935 CGS 88, i could not for the life of me spot differences. Personally wouldn't be tempted by a PF61, would probably end up going for £100-£200 -

1901/1902 Half crown mule reference
rpeddie posted a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
just reading through ESC and a footnote mentions a 1901/1902 mule halfcrown, Was just wondering if anyone has seen this coin in auction or has any pictures of it? Have scoured the internet for it but apart from being in this footnote i cannot find another reference of it. -

1937 Edward VIII Penny in Auction
rpeddie replied to Colin88's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
interested to see whether the 1808 will bring more than it made the last time it was sold -
i bought £60 worth of these old style 10ps a while ago and just checked through them, dont have any 1981 so they do seem illusive unless someone filtered it before me
-
£742 seems cheap for a PF64 cameo, so they probably were put off by the photo, believe i seen a few end at about £950 or so
-
cannot see a picture attached unfortunately

been in the ether from 1974-2018 Decent marketing really, kinda jealous i don't have all these tools at my disposal to jack up prices

George Washington North Wales halfpenny - 4 "sixfoil" type
rpeddie replied to JLS's topic in Free for all
possibly cleaning at some point too as seen by some excessive redness around the high point, fedinately get it graded before putting it for sale, i would recommend a USA auction house as this would achieve a better price -
George Washington North Wales halfpenny - 4 "sixfoil" type
rpeddie replied to JLS's topic in Free for all
looks to be, the 4 star variety is the rare type, maybe the seller confused this for the 2 star variety when looking at prices. Note yours also has the die characteristics of the one used for the main PCGS picture, i would rate yours around the F12/15 mark -

link price -
have a gamble, could be a 100g gold bar

bentley one (EF) sold for $288k, Id say this one is on par grade wise(if not the same coin, unsure from pictures) with the one sold in the hemisphere collection may 2014 for £41k. Really confusing the way they are trying to sell this, making it out like you will "win" or get something for a great price if you are the lucky chosen one. maybe a skilled marketing gimmick that will entice someones complete pension pot into this coin with a £60k profit to the RM. Interesting aspects none the less .

Good place to buy OLD coin catalogues/books in London?
rpeddie replied to Pavel's topic in Free for all
I cant help with catalogs but i like it I have recently started collecting NZ coins, i feel they are unappreciated at the moment. I will definitely have a look further into this site -
yea there are alot of fakes for this coin, have a look for soapy texture, cast lines around edges, bubbles in fields etc etc. but yea a better picture would do wonders
