My 1928 Half Crown the reverse is almost AUNC but the obverse is nowhere near as nice, but it only cost £12.50 last year.

It's a Lightning II, it says so on the coin, look up F-35 on Wiki and it will all become clear.

Let's See Your Toned English Milled Silver!
Sleepy replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The W&M is a beauty. -
I think they may have spent too long in silver dip which gives a sort of powdery coating to the coin.

Snobby London bias?? -

How can you tell if a coin has been "lacquered"?
Sleepy replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I still have a 1976 Coin Year Book that recommends lacquering coins in it's coin care section!! -
Certainly better than a few I've got!

Only just noticed this thread so sorry about the late reply. In Linecar's "The Crown Pieces of Great Britain" he lists a 1930 Bombay Trade Dollar No 205.

oriental border Britannia
Sleepy replied to craigy's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The border on the reverse reminds of the trade dollar! -
Not really my thing but some hard work and good research!

George III half crown
Sleepy replied to Gaz T's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Must agree can't see anything to suggest a 9 over 8. -
The thing is I don't even think the vendor is trying to be untruthful, I just think he is being stupid, a bit like the person who slabbed the coin in the first place.

A £600 Churchill Crown
Sleepy replied to Chris Perkins's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Thanks a lot Rob, as per normal you always come up trumps, the difference is very subtle I think I would need this picture in front of me before making a decision. Gone through mine and they are all the same as the right example, another coin to look out for lol. -
A £600 Churchill Crown
Sleepy replied to Chris Perkins's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Whilst we are on the subject Davies mentions that there are 2 different reverses the CH's are thinner, don't suppose anyone can put a photo of the 2 examples up to compare? -
She sounds as mad as a hatter, or should that be the Queen of Hearts?
-
The typography looks very similar to the advertisements scripts of that era.
-
A great resource Declan, the pictures are so much clearer than those in Davies, wish Chris would do a re-edition of Davies similar to the one done with Freemans!

Sleepy replied to GJB's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
ESC is English Silver Coinage since 1649, it is the standard reference for this period, the latest 6th edition by Maurice Bull is available. -
Charles II Half Groat for full ID
Sleepy replied to GJB's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I just happened to have ESC opened near the right page when I read this post, your half groat is the first milled issue of Maundy Money referred as a undated Type C ESC2167A. The other undated types, D, F and B (don't ask what happened to A and E) have a & instead of ET. Don't take the term Maundy Money to literally for this period it is just a general term for small silver change. -
and a nice looking coin John wouldn't go anywhere near it with dip!
-
I've seen this on many pictures of coins from this era,never realized it had a name, always wondered what caused it??
-
Looking at my own 1820 example it looks like the E's of PENCE have a few issues, so it might have been a common problem with this type. A better in focus photo would of course have helped.

Views on the Scarborough sixpence on eBay?
Sleepy replied to jasonsewell's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I know next to nothing about siege pieces so my opinion means very little, but I think Robs article makes a very relevant point, why bother minting them when your stuck in a castle with nowhere to spend your wages.
