To me this looks like the front part of a Victorian button...I have sometimes found similar in bulk lots of coins bought from eBay or auction. £10 is not so ridiculous an asking price...but I like "the Romans left us with a legal system" !!2 points

Not sure if this is the 45/3 or not. Could use your help and input.

Just remembered this one and looked it up to see what eventually happened. It was withdrawn prior to sale. So it looks as though your e mail was acted upon after all, Paddy. link1 point

Nice H/C I think you have to look at the reverse for wear indicators.(Lions and beads below the crown) and from the image look nicely struck. Poor old Georges head always gets the bag marks. Maybe a dip in some acetone would enhance? MS grade but enjoy raw.1 point

I think the dark points on the reverse could be where a thin coating has worn off. If the spots were areas where cleaning was ineffective they would be in the recesses, not the high points. The general blandness of the surfaces would support a coating too.1 point

Fantastic fairy story. I always get silver wrapped in pewter when I go magnet fishing too. Looks perhaps like a livery button to me.....1 point

This is documented and is ESC 392 (47B) in the latest revision by Maurice Bull. I have an example in stock too. The edge was applied using the Castaing edging machine, where the blank was rolled on its edge.1 point

My two latest Kempson half pence's from the Birmingham series, I'm particularly pleased with the new meeting one as it shows a lot more lustre in hand. Just 10 left to find now!

Glad to help.... An error that is simple to make, inasmuch as the H & J key are adjacent to each other on the keyboard..... Spell checkers are good to a degree, but you still can't beat old fashioned proof reading for the finer details... And a knowledge of the subject at hand.....1 point

Haha thanks. I was considering another level - "There are only 10 types of people in this world - those who understand binary, those who don't and those who just realised this joke is in base 3." Get it?1 point
