I guess he has picked up on this as he's reporting nearly every single post in this thread pertaining to him..
I've disabled the 'Reporting' feature for Guest accounts, so we all stop receiving spam.

I think I speak for everyone that Peckris is a wealth of knowledge and very far from being a 'f-ing moron'.
It's unecessary to talk to people like that, so please don't.

Where are you seeing/using the time? The post times should show as '2 hours ago' or '18 hours ago' up until 24 hours which it then changes to a date and time, and I presume you're not using posts from over 24 hours ago to work out what the time is at present!

Need a bit help. Is this a genuine brockage or is it something else...
Hey Brian,
Brockage should always be a mirrored image of whatever design is on the other side, from the pictures it looks like someone has stuck a genuine brockage onto a normal 2p. Can you see any seams anywhere? The different colouring on both sides also makes me think this.
Is the reversed side in relief or is it just a trick of the photo? Should be incuse.
Edit: Must be a trick, because all of a sudden I see it incuse now!

Lots of quality pennies, you can view them all here - https://mypennycollection.wordpress.com/
All the Freeman numbers and die pairings are included as well, you can also click all the photos for a larger image.
PM me if any take your fancy before I sell the rest through eBay or something, I'd prefer for them to go to members here before elsewhere.
Thanks!

Still here chugging along, work keeping me too busy for my own good

Can you overlay it with the obverse?

I removed the email, saving you from crawlers picking it up and spamming you forever
I'd wait for a reply to the thread and then PM direct with your email, just in case.

3 minutes ago, cathrine said:Comparing the coin with the photos indicates that the surface roughness patches in the photos are due to enlargement of a grainy photo; the actual surfaces are smooth.
The lower right portion of the shield is poorly defined; a possible explanation may be that the amount of material in the blank coin planchet was insufficient to fully fill the die when the coin was struck.
I'm not so sure, if this were the case you aren't very likely to end up with this result because the metal would quite equally spread across the coin and produce an overall duller effect, as opposed to one particular area being 'un-struck'. More likely is a damaged die or a piece of foreign material in the area in question during the strike.

Looks like heat to me, Jim. You can get similar effects using a heat gun.
I remember people used to use Taco Bell napkins because they contained sulphur (?), wrapped the coin in a napkin and inside tin foil for a few months and they come out with extreme colours. To each their own.

We have some very reputable and reliable dealers right here on the forum WD;
- Rob
- Declanwmagee
- The Coinery
- RLC35
- mhcoins
Just to name a few. Anyone with a green 'Coin Dealer' title under their name is also a forum trusted dealer, although not having that does not mean they're not.

Yes just a bit of doubling is all, nothing to see here.

I'll be honest, I don't see how this would be achieved in a tumble dryer.

Coins get stuck in the fins of commercial clothes dryers and are not removed for weeks or months until the machine is serviced. The continual tumbling against the steel drum beats the snot out of a coin and causes the rims to roll and fold inwards.
Not sure about yours though, looks like something a bit more than just tumbling around. They almost look like capped die strikes but the poor quality of the metal means they're probably not.

7 hours ago, mrbadexample said:But surely there's more than the edge that's off - the obverse looks mushy and indistinct; the reverse little better.
That comes from the rolling too, usually in a dryer.

5 minutes ago, Colin G. said:I am not as convinced, I think it could have been squashed (hence the flat areas) and had the rims filed off. It is amazing what a difference in thickness occurs if the rims are removed. I have seen a few farthings without rims (post mint damage) and the coins just appear substantially thinner. What convinces you it is on the wrong blank Rob? I admit is does seem slightly off-track on the Obverse, but that could also be due to being squashed.
I wouldn't say it's filed because the rims still have their reeding, otherwise it would have a lot more striations which wouldn't be as uniform as in the picture. I would also go with wrong blank.

1 hour ago, Guest Lee19xx said:Any thoughts on this guys or is this just worth 10p?
Looks rolled to me, people either hammer the edges down gently for a long time or do something like put it in a tumble dryer.
Correct, worth 10p-

You say that but it took 160 years for people to spot it in the first place, so I would say yes, people are unobservant. Now that it's a known variety with a couple of sales, including one through an auction house, I think we will definitely see more surfacing in the near future.

1 minute ago, brad said:5 specimens in 1 year should only mean there are more to be found. However Rob may have a point the 1862 B over R in BRITT has been documented for more than a couple of decades yet we know of just 5 in existence. Did a forum member but the VIGTORIA?
My point exactly, VIGTORIA = 5 examples in 1 year, B over R = 5 examples in 20 years. They didn't find all 5 of those B over Rs in the first year after the first was found, I'm pretty sure more will be turning up.
-
1 minute ago, brad said:I am not convinced the VIGTORIA is scarcer than the F103 1881H Freeman (discovery) coin, yet it sold for close to twice as much. Surely that reveals a lot about how much my personal opinions are to be respected
. £1400 (nearly £1650 including premium) is a bit for a coin in such a nauseating grade, yet I must concede that the LCA description is not off the mark especially when a narrow date 1877 went for a similar sum albeit 7 years ago.
" probably rarer than the 1877 Narrow date coin, of which an LCGS Fine 20 example realised £7020 in our June 2010 auction " - YUCK YUCK YUCK
Very much agree, it's only about a year old plus change that variety so in subsequent years we will see more and more turn up. I think there's around 5 or so VIGTORIAs found since the first now?

If it's got sentimental value then it's worth keeping, but monetarily speaking you really would have to pay someone to take it off you because of the amount of corrosion/verdigris. Not the best patina shall we say haha.
