    Now show us the difficult side...

    I do like a nice fleur-de-iris.
  3. mrbadexample
    I'll be honest, it was Pete that drummed that one in to me.

    At least it’s not a F174 like my last F176 was! 😂
  5. mrbadexample
    F176 Mike. I’ve stopped even looking at reverse pointings as the thin v thick edge is much easier. Thin reverse edge and equal gap between GRA.BRITT = F176. Thick edge and GRA. BRITT = F175. A pleasing £1.84 from the US of A for that one. 🙂

    Only just seen this Mike - that’s lovely. ebay? Better than mine I think as mine’s got a few scratches that let it down a bit - it was full of muck when I got it. Hat off, as someone here says. 😉

    It is a little bit dished in the middle, and the reverse doesn’t look quite right either. It’s almost like there wasn’t enough metal to fill the die.

    Reverse:

    Any thoughts on this 1927? I'm sure he's supposed to have an ear.
  12. mrbadexample
    Ahhh, sorry Pete, I thought I'd posted the obverse of a penny and the reverse of the halfpenny also in the lot. Sorry, I'm a bit of a tit. And yes, some beer was involved, I'm on holiday tomorrow.

    Not convinced this is F164a. Hard to see the alignment of the colon after BRITT, but the II of VII don't span two beads. LCA lot 2544 Auction 156. Any thoughts? http://londoncoins.co.uk/img.php?a=156&l=2544&f=r&s=l

    No, quite clear in the description! "IN ABOUT FINE CONDITION."

    It's the cleaning as well as the overgrading: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1901-PENNY-BRITISH-COIN-FROM-VICTORIA-UNC/202734140157?hash=item2f33e57afd:g:iVUAAOSw-hVdLI9C They never used to be like this.

    When did buckscoins get to be so bad? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SCARCE-1861-PENNY-BRITISH-COIN-FROM-VICTORIA-R8-aEF/202734154926?hash=item2f33e5b4ae:g:iZ0AAOSwB99dLJWW

    One thing I like about the DNW changes is that they are to have an actual cost calculator running as you bid.
  18. mrbadexample
    He's doing some serious trade.

    I've got a double florin with broken tails...
  20. mrbadexample
    Just as a point of order, I don't think you can decapitate a leg.

  22. mrbadexample
    Is it me, or have they not bothered taking many photos?
  23. mrbadexample
    20% Mike. Here's their statement. I don't see that it will make much difference to me as a buyer. I have a limited budget - I will either win what I want within that budget or someone with deeper pockets will want it more than me. Nothing changes.
  24. mrbadexample
    Many thanks Rob.
  25. mrbadexample
    Think this is the F294 with small upper section to 3? Would appreciate confirmation if possible please.
