    Pete I've never forgotten it since you emailed me the photos. But I tend to start doubting myself when I'm questioning what I'm seeing in an auction house listing.
  2. mrbadexample
    I can see the eleventh leaf quite clearly on the example you've posted Rob, but I don't know what you mean about the raised / incuse dots. Can't make 'em out at all. Edit: Yes I can now. So there are two types of 11 leaf, with the three dots raised / incuse?
  3. mrbadexample
    Sorry Rob, yes I knew that. Just didn't understand Pete's reply - 'twas a bit cryptic. The question I was asking was have LCA got the ID wrong on lot 3132? Looking at the ribbon I'd have said it was a 10 leaf, but they've got it listed as an 11.
  4. mrbadexample
    You've lost me.
  5. mrbadexample
    Pete, she's lovely. When you've had your failing eyesight checked, can you tell me is lot 3132 not actually a 10 leaf?
  6. mrbadexample
    Pete, you need to look at the REVERSE!
  7. mrbadexample
    I couldn't say I dislike that. Still not something I'd be likely to buy though.
  8. mrbadexample
    Cheer Rob, that's much more helpful than Nordle. To me then, a curiosity, but not something I'd consider spending lots of cash on. As usual though, one question begets another (and I realise I'm taking the thread off-topic somewhat, sorry) - I didn't know about early and late Soho issues. How would one know which was which please? Cheers, Jon

    Lot 2242: "Halfpenny 1797 Pattern Bronzed Copper Restrike Peck 1173 R61 nFDC attractively toned, probably rarer than Peck states, indeed we have only offered one previous example, this in June 2006 and realised £220 in UNC, this easily the superior piece (£500 - £600)" Sorry if I'm being a bit thick, but what does it mean by restrike please?
  10. mrbadexample
    Look at the sold listings copper, it's far from a freak result. If it's a cartwheel, it will sell.
  11. mrbadexample
    I think you'd be surprised Peter. I see even worn, beat-to-hell examples selling so wouldn't be surprised to see that go for more than scrap. Look at this for example.

    Is this a good buy?

    mrbadexample replied to jon's topic in Free for all

    I like that. 7 with KEW on, some pictured, but strangely unable to recognise a 50p.

    Good spot.

    Sounds like he knows you'd take one look and tell him you're not interested?
  15. mrbadexample
    I wish I knew how you were so sure. I'm not disputing it, but the numeral seems quite cleanly removed. Notwithstanding the damage, which to me doesn't seem to be entirely in the right place for a missing 7. What can you two see that I can't?
  16. mrbadexample
    It does, thanks Mike.
  17. mrbadexample
    Well, that's a start Paul. I didn't realise that all the other years had Arabic 1s. There is a bit of damage close to where the 7 should be: do you think this is post mint?
  18. mrbadexample
    So at what point does the auction stop?
  19. mrbadexample
    Any thoughts on this double florin?
  20. mrbadexample
    A how much?
  21. mrbadexample
    Leave a few common ones too eh? I've been told I'm allowed to have the 1967.
  22. mrbadexample
    I still think it would meet the definition of a "decent" collection.
  23. mrbadexample
    It's all right for you to smile Pete, you've got 'em all already.
  24. mrbadexample
    I give up then.

    I've always thought CCGB to be pretty much in the right area Rob, but I'm struggling to find quarter-farthings on the same page.
