    It'll almost certainly be a cut 'n' shut - two coins skimmed down on the tails side and stuck together to make a trick coin. You might see a seam along the edge.

    Sealby Coin & Medal bulletin June 1964

    mrbadexample replied to mrbadexample's topic in Wanted

    Don't need the whole things Rob, was kind of hoping for scans of a couple of articles - just 5 pages to be exact: Sammut J. "Lascaris and His Countermarked Copper 4 and 2 Tari Pieces." Sealby’s Coin and Medal Bulletin, June 1964, pp. 205-207. Pridmore, T. "The Countermarked Copper Coinage of Malta." The Numismatic Circular. April 1950, pp. 191.192. Any chance? Please?

    2nd attempt!

    mrbadexample replied to WildCamper's topic in Beginners area

    Do keep that first one though WC. It may not have much numismatic value, but it will be well worth what you paid as a little reminder of what not to buy. You'll look back at it one day and think: "Blimey, did I really buy that?" Anyone who says they haven't done the same is a big fibber.

    More Pennies

    mrbadexample replied to Prax's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    Bit small those Pete, I can't see the detail.
  6. mrbadexample
    He doesn't. VS you might find what you're looking for if you post the question here.
  7. mrbadexample
    Is it Pete taking his pennies to the bank?
  8. mrbadexample
    I reckon it's fair to say you didn't overpay.
  9. mrbadexample
    Again, I can't reproduce the blue toning and reflective fields.

    Newly Acquired Halfpennies

    mrbadexample replied to cathrine's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    I Not by everyone! They're just a little penny, after all.
  11. mrbadexample
    You'll be explaining that next. Some very nice pennies. On the 1874 there is a lack of detail on the lower right quarter of the shield, along with some roughness behind Britannia and in front of Victoria's face. What's caused this please? I'm assuming not damage or corrosion as it's slabbed. Rusty dies?
  12. mrbadexample
    Having said that I took this with it so it must have the capability in the hands of a competent user.
  13. mrbadexample
    That's kind Paul, thank you, but will it help when I'm only working with this?
  14. mrbadexample
  15. mrbadexample
    If I only had half your photography skills Paul...
  16. mrbadexample
    Double florins, Arabic and Roman 1s.
  17. mrbadexample
    To be fair I don't carry any more than that and they've been in there a while.
  18. mrbadexample
    Same for these 5ps do you think? I'll be honest, I don't see how this would be achieved in a tumble dryer.
  19. mrbadexample
    But surely there's more than the edge that's off - the obverse looks mushy and indistinct; the reverse little better.

    DNW catalogue December 2016

    mrbadexample replied to mrbadexample's topic in Wanted

    I've asked them for one at the last two Midlands. They're in short supply apparently. Chris said he'd posted me the last one but it didn't arrive.

    DNW catalogue December 2016

    mrbadexample posted a topic in Wanted

    Hi all, I've been trying to locate an auction catalogue from the December DNW sale. They've supposedly posted me one but it's not turned up. Anyone have a spare knocking about that they'd be prepared to part with please? Cheers, Jon

    Auction Coin Values Help Needed

    mrbadexample replied to UPINSMOKE's topic in Beginners area

    I think it's a twopence and a penny. Nice edges on the 2d and a reasonable price if within estimate I would say.

    Help required identifying a coin

    mrbadexample replied to James1's topic in Free for all

    I'd say it was real. Got some impact marks around the middle where someone's punched it out. Not terribly difficult by all accounts.
