  2. Darwin Award candidates both! (Look it up if you haven’t heard of it…some very funny examples, reality too.) Jerry

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    With a provenance of this quality it’s got to be worth well into three figures……..😁 Jerry
  4. Referring to the F14 mentioned above, I had been watching this one for a week out of interest (I already have two unc examples) and must admit to surprise at the outcome. There clearly is demand out there, which comes back to my comment on rarity/ availability. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285732487208 Jerry
  5. I agree that it is obverse 1 rather than 1*, the gaze is forward rather than downward, and the rim is too thin. But they are out there, I have a couple of Ebay examples in low grade and a nice AEF F763 that was advertised as F6 at Lockdales a few years ago, less than £200; keep looking. Jerry
  6. Yes, well done. I actually think that Freeman marginally underestimated the scarcity of these. Jerry
  7. Yes, yours has the missing line too Pete. Seems to be pretty much a feature of all 3/2’s, possibly many of the minor degree dies Gouby shows too. I see that Richard’s website has been updated to include this feature, though I don’t think that the filled die repair and the overstrike are directly associated in that 1893 coins that are clearly not overstrikes, even minimally displayed, can also have the line flaw. Jerry
  8. Well, there really ought to be some 1892’s with the flaw, unless there was just a single batch of flawed 1892 dies which were all updated into the progression of altered ‘3’s including the clear ‘ 3/2’ that Gouby shows in detail. Or the ‘3/2’ could be regarded as a ‘2/3’, an 1893 die mis-repaired using a ‘2’ punch, which I do not favour. Either way I feel that there must have been a flawed master die to enable the missing line to occur on dies producing both overstrike and normal coins. Jerry
  9. No, I can’t see it either. I wonder whether this flaw was on a master that was used to make several dies/dates over the 1892 to 93 period. You have a nice doubled inner circle to the lower left of the date too! (Spellcheck initially converted ‘doubled inner’ to ‘double dinner’ , quite a nice interpretation I thought!). Jerry
  10. Yet it looks the same flaw. Not sure what to make of that. Does yours have the bulge under the upper loop of the ‘3’ that you see on 3/2 coins? Jerry
  11. So do my 1893 over 2 pennies (all three) but not my plain 1893's. Jerry
  12. That is interesting, I wonder whether a partly filled die could have been repaired by re-engraving the vertical lines? What coin is this? It might be possible to track the die fill and repair by looking at other examples . Jerry

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Likewise, so job done. He did say it didn’t look like a beaded to him either; perhaps a little more research would have been in order, but his response is fair and honest; I dare say we all make mistakes. 😮 Jerry

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Not necessarily a worst offering, just mis-described by NGC and the vendor has followed suit. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126326106682?itmmeta=01HPP1PAKM29E6B28M1EVHGG5E&hash=item1d699f6a3a:g:NV4AAOSw2tZlxS33&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAAsLKd0l82XvnuaGrzJO%2FHcJBV3x52qzjv7EFUyGtuDfrY3BiF%2BgCLs%2F0oAPx%2Fn0SCC3RYgwRYFrRUDPMG%2FjfGZzu2ShMHdF58OPVYNlD%2BPndD4YGTqM7lC1YVglfmlKPDqzbdsYoAG6L1bd3CV68Ofczf280EJOyzDBDpNBXB5YeOESC2tfazyh2oR4M4VNnnR8bnBs8D5P1Ga873l60L2fb0i9cBE9XtVSCS1gVpihmJ|tkp%3ABk9SR_6p2cG1Yw I have messaged him might be worth others doing so too.
