Copper + Aluminium and water = galvanic corrosion, how do I know; my fuel filter head on my Landrover is Alu with copper sealer washers and galvanic corrosion ate away the ports on the fuel filter head. Its a slow process going by how long it lasted. -
The heavily gouged parts of the reverse are presumably where it was in contact with or in very close proximity to a different metal to set up the electrical circuit. Despite that, you can still see your own reflection clearly in the unaffected parts of the field, which remarkably, are still like mirrors (both sides). Of far greater importance is the context. i.e. It is a missing link which logically should exist given the existence of the copper analogue. As a coin which fills the gap, it is more important than the condition. -

Only halfpennies as it is a legacy collection. Basically I couldn't bring myself to do too much pruning as they were (mostly) too nice to throw out. And I couldn't see much point in getting rid of the unique dogs, such as the attached. An R24 in Aluminium - one that should have existed based on Peck's groupings, but he failed to locate an example. I suspect this was with a group of related aluminium die pairs at Spink when their building was bombed during WW2 and the corrosion is from water/electrolysis, as others within this group and struck in aluminium are similarly affected by water damage, albeit not as badly. See the Glens sale in the 60's or Selig's collection for other group examples. I picked it up on ebay in 2009 from the US - surprisingly nobody wanted it given its id but thankfully the condition eliminated the number chasers, so cheap as chips. . Happy days. Pennies, farthings and twopences are satisfied by an example of each type of style, rather than the nuclear option. Funds are too limited to go ballistic on all fronts.
