I see you also do cider - I am making my own on a regular basis, though brought up to a more traditional wine strength. Very refreshing on a hot day.
I prefer a vintage Cider , something with a bit of bite . Currently in Northumberland for a week , so I will need to stock up before I head up the road . The minimum pricing laws in Scotland has made the better ciders a lot more expensive .

I am partial to a wee (large) Talisker . In fact , any peaty malt will do .

1 hour ago, Paddy said:... and this one doesn't look right to me either. Are the Whisky-goggles clouding my view point?
I have the cider goggles on and it seems ok to me ,apart from the wee bit of corrosion and the mark at the eye .The colour is a bit off too , as though it may have been cleaned and then artificially toned. If it is a wrong-un , it is a good one .

33 minutes ago, OneCoin said:If it's one Hryvna, is it some kind of currency?
Good price, I did not expect such a high price for a silver coin. Thank you very much.It is a currency value , but it wasnt issued for circulation.That is the prices getting asked for from the Ukraine (couldn't find any other sellers)
. In the UK value will depend whether there is a demand or not . silver content value is about £10.50 at the moment
-
After a bit of investigating .They are silver investment coins issued by the Ukrainian Mint . They sell for between $35-45 . hope this helps .

Think it might be ONE HRYVNA on the bottom .Which would be a currency value , but I doubt it would be a currency issue (similar to the silver £20 coins the RM produce )

Trying to translate it . Think it is national Bank Ukrainia

I dont think it is currency . It looks like a commemorative medal / coin of some kind ,possibly Bulgarian . Going by the info on it , it says 31.1 (possibly gram) 999.9 AG (silver content ?)

I will need to get a camera , it is hard to make out on the scan , but it has the centre fishtail and a narrower right ribbon .

What reference does the Satin numbers refer too . I have been sticking with Freemans (and grooms for 20th century) ,but have been meaning to get a copy of Gouby .

Just now, PWA 1967 said:Worth a picture Mick.
Will be Satin 16 but varieties with the colons and Bun recut.
no problem ,I will scan it tomorrow (was just about to head to bed) . The ribbon knot and bottom of the bun seem to have more detail than the wear would suggest it should .I think I will need to dig out the other ones I have filed away as doublers ,it is beginning to get more complicated ....and interesting lol.

I take it you mean on the hair ribbon . Yes ,it is centred . didn't think to check that ,although I had noticed before that some were off-centre

47 minutes ago, 1949threepence said:1861 die combinations can be very tricky, Mick. I've been trying to get my head round them for some time. Some are more obvious than others. But trying to determine, for example, whether a penny is a Freeman 21 from a worn specimen, is really difficult.
The top 2 should have been easy enough . the last one is a bit of a state . I also got 2 1860 pennies with them , but they were easy enough to work out (f13 and f15 ). I suppose that practice makes perfect .

7 hours ago, terrysoldpennies said:Your right Richard Iv listed the Satin numbers they should be F22 F29 and F33 sorry Mick
I thought you had the numbers wrong . I went with the die combinations . I have an F22 AND 33 ,didn't have a F29 .Freemans, although very informative , can be a bit of a puzzle sometimes .

31 minutes ago, terrysoldpennies said:Hi Mick. The one you have as F24 looks to me like an F27 4+d
The F32 looks like an F33 6+d
And the F28 is really bad but I would guess an F36 6+g. Terry
looks like I was well off . still a result ,as I dont have a 6+d .
-
After another look ,I think I have them wrong lol .I am sure if I wait another hour ,I will come up with another set of die combinations .
