Just to add, a £100-£150 coin would do too

Ok, so a Christmas plead, relying on your trusted good judgement!
I have a conundrum in that I’ve set myself a silly OCD challenge to run a series of Victoria pennies along the bottom of my new upcoming Christmas present that holds leaves of 12 coins (so effectively looking at three Victoria coins per page), upper 6 holders for Elizabeth, next row of 3 miscellaneous, and the bottom 3 dedicated to Victoria bronze pennies (I can see that having great eye-appeal)
I’m not really looking for huge rarities at this stage, just building a foundation of pennies, alongside Elizabeth hammered, to get excited by…I have F39 and F134 in UNC ‘or near so’ so far.
Is there another out there to complete that first page for Christmas?
Would transfer up to £300 in advance to known and respected members only…do you have anything that could be posted in time for Christmas?

Advertised by its vendor - an establishes dealer- as mm rose, it is in fact eglantine/ eglantine over acorn and the same reverse die (and probably obverse) as the Comber specimen. The obverse die has moved in the strike, but it is in pretty good condition, indeed better than the vendors photo after removal of soil and encrustation. An extremely rare coin……unless you know otherwise?

Jerry I hate you! I’ve trawled the eBay rubbish for years, and recently added Penny-checks to my list, and definitely never even saw that one, I would’ve remembered the double-strike obverse.
A nice Christmas present, I salute you Sir, and look forward to my own addition to this post! That’s got to be the clearest acorn/eglantine reverse MM you’ll see…buy a lottery ticket for Saturday!

Many thanks, TG, appreciate it
I already have some photo corners, now, though…just need to wait for my leather folder on the 25th and then I can show you my little OCdea. -
I’ve been waiting for this
Compliments of the season to you. Plus a warm and hearty season’s greeting to each and every one of you on here!

Similar, just a little less yoghurty!
Hopefully the image of photo corners will explain it better, you can obviously buy clear ones too?
As kids we used to do something similar with stamps, except they were tiny grease-proof-paper-like corners, very fiddly.
Basically, they’re little corner pockets that allow you to fix something to a page without damaging the thing itself.

Strange that I couldn’t find them, whereas I found photo-corners a-plenty! The photo ones are perfect for the job, as would’ve been the stamp corners, I’m sure, had I been able to locate them 😊
Compliments of the season to you!

Of course! I’m not thinking laterally at the moment! Thanks very much

If you’d been on here 7 years ago there would’ve been four or five knowledgeable people all over your post…there’s probably only one or, if you’re extremely lucky, two people who could even contribute today!
Good luck, it’s a decent post!-

I’ve got a leather 12-card- flips-per-page folder coming from Santa, that takes the attached pages with white interleaves.
I have this idea of fixing paper envelopes on the white card interleaves behind the coin to hold things like dealer tickets, etc., but also so I can print out, in a new modern style, all the relevant info. on my own new adhesive ticket that’s cut to fit the front flip of the coin envelope (as drawn in blue), but where are the stamp corners we all had as kids?

Though I have been slightly drawn to a couple of Charles II badges. Must resist!Oh my goodness if technology could ever look upon her face!

Thinking about how I might just trip along to this auction in January, I noticed the BP at 37% - I know we all bid accordingly, but that’s greed in excess, surely?
-
I no longer have the material to pin these things down, but if anyone collects in this area they’ll recognise it in an instant, there’s enough to go on, especially with that crude open crown.
I’ll be interested to see what pops up, but the general feel of the bust makes it Richard all over to me? I could easily be two monarchs out, though, quite easily, maybe three!

Me neither, but I do so love these historic things! I bought a cracked plaster/mould of Elizabeth I from, I’m told, a GIII fire surround, that was subsequently framed in an extravagant Victorian black frame…I absolutely loved/and still love it!
Also, looking through ‘the sale room’ for Elizabeth material, I stumbled across a couple of food boxes for sale in Wiltshire…how bloody amazing is that? Just to sit beside these wonderful things!

Anyhow, I’ve just noticed it’s made an appearance on eBay!
For the record, I’ve bought from this seller before and have found him completely above board, a genuine misunderstanding I think!
Just to say that the eBay, ex Comber, shilling has just gone over £200, which is more than I want to pay for a pitted and holed coin, Lis or not, especially when there are other lots upcoming!
I’m personally happy that it’s the shilling from which the other coins were cast, if that’s an element that gives it a nice pirate value, and some added numismatic interest? I didn’t share it here at the time, but I later noticed plenty of red wax in the reverse legend, further adding, along with its weight and general sharpness, to its likely authenticity.
Good luck if this interests anybody!

1. reduce the size of the image
2. add a colour cast (e.g. sepia) to make it look different
3. acknowledge the website where you got it from (if 'Contact us' has failed)
I don’t want to derail the thread here too much, but thanks for that, some good approaches…it would be impossible otherwise!

Quick question re this point. I ask because I’m compiling a catalogue of the Elizabeth I anchor shillings, and would ultimately want to put it out there!
What do you do re gathering photos from the net, as it’s sometimes near impossible to track the source or get permission from the original photographer?

It’s superb irony, after just reading City have more than 100 alleged breaches of the same rules, that are still awaiting verdicts! There’ll be some squeaky shorts out there this winter, that’s for sure!

Spink’s description: “…lightly toned on a curiously light planchet, a pleasing very fine.”

59 minutes ago, Martinminerva said:I agree - the double striking around ANG is most diagnostic (unless the DIE itself could be double entered??) of identical-ness. But both of these, if fakes are blooming good ones compared to the original post coin and its duplicates which are obvious casts with their pitted, porous and bubbly surfaces, not to mention the hole and plugging in exactly the same spots!!
This isn’t to say the spink coin is fake, it could again be the donor coin, though it too looks suspicious? The coin I had was fake, underweight, edge-seamed, and taken back by W&W at the time.
There are green deposits on the Spink coin which could be copper deposits OR wax? I’m going to look over my browser history again, because I stumbled across an unusually high number of coins with same wax/copper deposits! Now, I just wonder??

No, not the same item, but identical flaws, double-strike, etc. etc.

Ebay's Worst Offerings
in Free for all
Posted · Edited by Coinery
I personally stopped wasting my time messaging eBay a long, long, time ago! I treat it now for what it is, its own little mini government, and all the flaws that come with being that!
