I have decided not to listen any more to people who selfishly have too many children in the state the World is in,
and call them Boniface, Wulfric, Leyson, Pius, Anselm, Wentworth, Lettice, or Apollo.....
Does any else have one?
Happy New Year!
Ah, good catch. Tooled I think these are barely collectable. It's not such a rare coin.
I bet the HA coin is tooled too, it looks like the die flaw on his breast has been abrasively ground down and polished off.
Amazing what people will pay for mediocre coins in slabs. I knew a chap who wanted £2k for a dog of a Cromwell halfcrown in a "VF30" slab...not only was it not VF, it had smoothing in the fields among other problems. I wouldn't have paid a grand; I advised to consign to auction...
DNW got him his money though ! https://www.dnw.co.uk/auction-archive/lot-archive/lot.php?lot_uid=393883
With the purchase of an 1806 gilt copper proof from LCA last weekend, I've now got all three 1806 proofs from the KP31 die - Peck 1325, 1326 &1327, gilt, bronzed copper & copper. Whilst I've no intention of even attempting to become a major SOHO proof specialist collector (a lifetime's work, pretty much), it's always good to get a few proofs, and these were easy to recognise because of the incomplete 0 and no base serif to 1.
