Yes, there's an obvious groove inside the obverse rim.

More neatly done though than the 1967 penny.

Interesting, but are you sure there isn’t a join between the beads and the rim in the first image? It’s amazing what a skilled craftsman can do with a lathe - but I hope I’m wrong. If genuine that would be a great price, though I am surprised that obverse and reverse dies were interchangeable.

That was my immediate thought too. The dark circle showing where the reverse of one coin has been sunk into the body of a second appears very obvious. The cut even clips through some of the beads.

OMG I made up 'Paracrufts' about ten years ago, and I've just found out that it bloody exists!!!!!!!

 

There was an episode of Alan Partridge where he tries to pitch new programme ideas to the channel controller,

all increasingly desperate, and one of them was 'Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank',

which, bizarrely, years later, was actually made!!!!

Yet, inexplicably, still no Monkey Tennis or Inner City Sumo.

I took some screen shots on my iPhone but the files are apparently too large, and I haven’t got access to a laptop/pc right now 😩

Really frustrating!

No worries.

Examples Stu?

Russians?

We were in Liverpool last night for the Russian State Ballet's production of Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet. Fabulous, with Expressionism and Dada influences in evidence throughout, so I came away a very happy bunny (man) indeed.

That’s standard punctuation but rotated…you can see it correctly orientated between DG AN  

 

Great. Thanks for that. 

[1568 Sixpence with unusual overstrike.]

 

Any idea what this may be?

Cuds-a-plenty on this one.

 

[1594-96 Half Groat mm Woolpack.]

Thanks Stu. Yes, that certainly would be a possibility. 

[1594-96 Half Groat mm Woolpack.]

Any thoughts regarding what appears to be a letter A in the reverse field here?

 

[Maundy Purse.]

A full set. Apologies for sloppy typing.

That looks good. Do you have a pic of the reverse as well?

 

 

Here you are Mike.

The difference in colour is due to light conditions. There's no difference 'in hand'.

£175 delivered? A cast iron bargain.

 

[Maundy Purse.]

Has anyone here seen one of these?

We were at a friend's house the other day and, knowing I'm into coins,  he showed me this blue purse containing at full set of four 1901 maundy coins. It belonged to an aunt but no one knows how she came to own it/them. I've not seen a purse like this before but do know the coins would have originally been distributed in little drawstring bags.

 

[Ebay's BEST Offerings]

No, but will take one when I have time.

This 1827 penny was in my opinion, one hell of a bloody bargain for whoever got it - not me I hasten to add, as I've already got one, but decided to keep an eye on it anyway, out of interest. If I'd known this one was coming along, I'd have hung on. Quite noticeable pitting in places, particularly on the obverse. But overall in very good condition and higher grade.

Hope somebody on here got it.

1827 penny

Lovely for detail but clearly polished within an inch of its life. I bought this one on eBay a couple of years ago for £175 inc P&P. They're out there if you're willing to wait.
