Newbie, Suffolk Woodbridge Penny Conder token, 1796

The edge inscription reads " PUBLISHED BY R. LODER 1796 . X . ", as confirmed on the main reference material (Dalton & Hamer) Good question, I must try and learn how to photograph edges!

Try North (vol.1) for a reasonably comprehensive list of moneyers for each reign at a particular mint. As for individual numbers of type by a certain moneyer you will have to refer to specialist volumes or articles regarding said mint.

And it had to come eventually MrBE:

I don't know about anyone else, but I have to have music on when I am working with my coins. Pink Floyd is my absolute favourite but quite a few other groups and artists figure frequently in my (randomised) playlist. Here are my top twenty, in no particular order (after Pink Floyd): Pink Floyd Tangerine Dream Led Zeppelin Muse Adele Gorillaz King Crimson Mike Oldfield Moody Blues Fleetwood Mac Emerson Lake and Palmer Dire Straits Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel Suzanne Vega The Strawbs The Beautiful South Thin Lizzy Chris Rea Pentangle David Bowie What does everyone else listen to? Modern or Classical?

Looks as though dnw are doing this. Part 1 (which admittedly doesn't contain a massive amount) is on their catalogue for 13th/14th June 2018 auction. Whether succeeding parts will be added to this or subsequent auctions - well who knows at this stage? link

If it looks as black as that in the field in the hand and its not a trick of the light then it is a DCAM . But I have seen these look like that in a photo and end up like the half crown top right when you receive them

In no particular order: Beatles Who Genesis Steely Dan Grateful Dead Mercury Rev Goldfrapp Father John Misty John Grant Oscar Peterson Miles DAvis Queen Pink Floyd Misty In Roots Sly & Robbie (dub) Nick Drake Sleaford Mods Joni Mitchell Neil Young David Crosby Zappa Leonard Cohen Chic Buzzcocks Magazine Dire Straits The Beat The Specials Madness …and many more I've missed at first think

The Strawberry Hill Boys (Strawbs) were the resident band at the Green Man Folk Club in West Ealing which I helped a friend mismanage in the early sixties, and Dave Cousins lived a pint's spit from the White Bear Folk Club in Hounslow which I later ran. Paddy's post has made me realise that I've got nothing of theirs to listen to unless I try to resurrect some old cassettes. Regardless of which, Windows Music Player tells me that I do a lot of this: David Bowie Roxy Music Incredible String Band Planxty Reverend Gary Davis Ry Cooder B B King Postmodern Jukebox Robert Johnson The Cranberries Little Feat Carolina Chocolate Drops Oscar Peterson DakhaBrakha Clapton & Cale Little Willies Norah Jones Jussi Bjorling acapellascience Cajun & Zydeco compilations

That's how I always report - fraudulent as in a copy / replica not described as such in the listing.

If ebay had a "like" button on that listing, I would use it lol

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Choice-Hole-Surrounded-by-Choice-1874-H-Half-Penny-See-Notes-Victoria-British/332617694897 made me smile the hole truth and nothing but the hole truth. Pays to have a good sense of humour when selling stuff on the bay. Great sales pitch too boot lol

Nice 1928 half-crown for my george V type set

I also had the same issue with a NGC slabbed 1922 MS 52 halfcrown.. I removed it from the slab and cleaned it with the Al. foil bicarb. of soda method and the results presented below. I know silver dip has been recommended but I think the foil method may be less destructive to the coin as it converts the silver sulfide directly back to metallic silver while emitting sulfurated hydrogen gas while silver dip is an acid that will etch the coin to remove the tarnish including some of the surface of the coin.I have previously posted these pictures but they seemed to relate to this discussion.
