      Thick flan?

      By absence of uniformity · Posted

      That's fine, but do you think the coin/question of this post is unusual in terms of the apparent thickness. Nobody addressed it. Everyone wants to talk about knowledge or language. Does the appearance of the this halfpenny coin look thicker than normal using the limited info I have put forward. I purchased the coin so will find out sooner rather later anyway. I didnt want to ask the seller for a weight for obvious reason's.

      Business as usual, then! I still reserve the right to think you unusual, though. Keep going.

      Found another quite good condition coin from the hoard..... albeit 2 pence Maundy,  George IIII, 1822, 😕 not sure I can cope with all of these good condition coins after a life time of manky worn out ones....  😕

      Thick flan?

      By absence of uniformity · Posted

      What exactly are you referring to ? Im here asking a question which would suggest I dont have the "knowledge" I exclusively use Richard's website Michael Freemans book and the LCA website. Between those three sources of information the only detailed info availible I'm missing is from the other specialists. Have you noticed nearly all of my questions are not related to anything written by M Gouby........ Because I dont have access to any of it or Dracott etc. I use the info availible to me I dont retain any of the knowledge. Every single coin I look or come across I check it against the info I have availible to me. Its a question of Probability all thats seen here is the very few leads that actually have potential that I cant exclude myself as nothing. It really is as simple as that.  Im super intense with my research and efforts, as I have explained to you previously you get out what you put in. I was lucky enough to find a couple of super rare coins which gave me a huge boost of motivation. I dont really have much else to say about this.

      Thick flan?

      By absence of uniformity · Posted

      In this post the one single numismatic term which I used is Flan.. The coin question is listed in black and white including the word flan. I asked the seller of the coin "does the rim of the coin have damaged" In order to obtain images of the edge of the coin without raising suspicion. And that's it. I dont even know for sure if the pairing is even 10+J. (So this could all be a complete waste of time)  Richard's website lists the halfpenny types, the die pairings and the rarity rating so no knowledge is required.  I have just noticed a coin which looks thick and by chance its possibly 10+J zero knowledge was required to reach this point.  It was logical to measure the letters on a coin I have and then apply those measurements to the image IMO just basic pragmatic approach to my own question.
