Subtle but big difference.
Bit like when people write "your" instead of "you're". The difference between "your shit" and "you're shit"
Lol... I should "have" (not "of") read your post first.....
You're absolutely correct. And I love your example.
The only caveat to blaming people entirely is the dreaded spell checker.
Text from his neighbor
I am so sorry Bob. I've been riddled with guilt and I have to confess. I have been tapping your wife, day and night when you're not around. In fact, more than you. I do not get any at home, but that's no excuse. I can no longer live with the guilt and I hope you will accept my sincerest apology with my promise that it won't happen again.
The man, anguished and betrayed, went into his bedroom, grabbed his gun, and without a word, shot his wife and killed her.
A few moments later, a second text came in: Damn autocorrect! I meant "wifi", not "wife"

An 1827 in that condition would be welcomed in any collection.

Disclaimer: I'm looking at this on my cell phone.
All I see is an F-29 obverse 6, reverse D.
What could be confusing is that I do not see the LCW on the reverse. It could be the imaging, a worn die, or something else. But so far as I can tell it's a reverse D.

I use all the above AND Richards website..
I think I'll print it out and have a GREAT REFERENCE BOOK!!! It will just need to be updated periodically...

21 minutes ago, Peckris 2 said:Yes, that's technically and chemically correct. However, PROOFS are described as either "copper proof" or "bronzed proof". To describe one using both terms appears to be a deliberate move to cover up uncertainty ?
My interpretation of those distinctions is that both coins are struck in copper.
While the Copper Proof is 'As Struck', the Bronzed Copper is the Copper coin subjected to Bronzing.
A Bronzed coin (or Medal), without distinction, COULD be struck in ANY metal (I'm not saying that it IS struck in any metal), and then Bronzed.

A HUGE Thank You to Rob for that exceptional explanation (as always).
I'll toss in my nomination to have Rob elevated to Professor Emeritus, resident Guru, some such title to recognize his enormous contributions to our knowledge base.

15 hours ago, 1949threepence said:This one is described as a bronzed proof, yet seems to have lustre.
I suppose my underlying point here is whether it's worth buying another proof of the same date, on the basis that it's bronzed rather than copper? If it's a gilt proof, no problem as they are very obviously gilt.
The assumption is that the cataloger got it correct. Granted that they have MUCH MORE experience than I have, and I am loathe to dispute their attribution, but we all know that mistakes occur. Caveat emptor.

3 hours ago, Nick said:If I had to guess, I'd say copper in first picture, bronzed in second.
Ditto...
Gut feeling based on very little experience.
I would suspect, however, that a coin that has been bronzed would NOT display any luster (lustre). I think it might also display a slightly different surface texture. Whereas a coin as struck, would display some natural luster, at least until it disappears with handling or age.

I would suspect using cpu resources first.

I.e., a utility that shows all the processes using RAM, CPU, network, etc. That way you can see what's using your computer's resources and the answer MAY be nothing to do with your browsers. For example, on OS X there's something called kernel_task which can get out of hand : if relaunching the Finder doesn't work then a reboot will.
Windows Task Manager???

Being an Emperor would trump Trump being only a President...
Maybe the the etymological root of 'trample' is actually 'trump'. As in the following. "The Emperor exhorted the populace to 'trumple' over the Senate."

Based on the image, I don't believe it to be an obverse 13 which has uneven berries nor an obverse 13# where the upright of the R's point to a tooth.
Comparison of the image of the coin in question with images of obverses 11 & 12 and the corresponding respective descriptors lead me to believe it is an obverse 11.
