You only ever post links to coins you have for sale, which I don't mind now and again but because you have never actually participated in forum discussion and because I have no way of knowing if you are a genuine seller, I'm afraid I'm going to remove the link above and suspend your account for now.

Hi Mike To answer your question I personally have only seen four of the Aa type . Below is a picture of the four types I have come across . Top is Ac with the 1 directly over the tooth [ I have seen about six of this type]. Next down is the normal common type Ab with the 1 slightly to the left of the tooth but the 1 its self is almost touching the tooth . Third down is very similar to Ab but the 1 is more to the left of tooth and importantly has a gap between it and the tooth { not listed by Gouby as its to similar to the common Ab type} bottom is Aa with the 1 directly over the gap between the teeth , all three of the rare types have that space between the 1 and the row of outer teeth, as Pete has already said

It's expensive to ship in- you pay exide duty on it. See what I did there?

I finally got around to taking better images which represent my coin. Still cant get my head around finding this as cheap as I did unattributed. As I have not been posting here about my finds I now have a backlog of finds to add to my collection taking photos and sharing here found some amazing coins unattributed.

Good points, but on the other hand there are still stamp, postcard, audio cassette, model car, etc, collectors. I think there are many areas of collecting where the object itself is long out of fashion, yet the 'collecting gene' needs to be fulfilled.

I would grade as GEF with lustre. Some might say AUnc, and I wouldn't quarrel too much with that, there's virtually no trace of wear.

I think probably the opposite. People not using actual cash means they are exposed to less of it, or even none of it. So casual collectors who keep the odd shiny coin and perhaps get into coins that way will be far fewer. There will probably always be people who deliberately spend cash in order to get change to check and collect from but I wonder if the younger generation growing up now who have only ever paid electronically are a lot less likely to become coin collectors of any kind.

Hi, Welcome to the forums It would help a lot if we knew the dates of those coins. My own thoughts are 1) the "different" coin may be a high grade compared to the other 3, whose edges look pretty worn. 2) it's even possible that the different coin is a proof (is it dated 1937?), whose edges are sharp and crisp and even (I sound like good king Wenceslas ) compared to currency coins. Picture of the reverse of all 4 coins would be helpful.

Well presented photos too.

I would agree with 9 + K. F317. The underside of the first leaf in the top 2 rows line thru. Date width covers 14 teeth. R16. Well spotted.

Yes, I think yours is a Ba Paddy, slightly wider and directly over a gap between teeth

Full House, Queens over Kings... 😎 Five generations of this coin from the Netherlands. 38 mm, 25 g .945 fine silver Willem II - 1848 Willem III - 1874 Wilhelmina - 1898 33 mm, 15 g .720 silver (the cost of 2 world wars) Julianna - 1959 But even that couldn't be sustained in the modern world... 29mm 10 g 100% Nickel which at least gives it a decent look and feel. This was the the last Rijksdaalders as the Euros came in. Beatrix - 2001 I still need an 1840 2 1/2 Gulden of Willem I to complete the set.

Someone has started drilling it with a hole drill and given up. Or maybe it was being used as a backstop when they were drilling something else.

Now I know how non-coin people feel when they see our conversations on varieties!

oh wow- I have a B40 and an R107T as well...

When I drink too much of it the police put me in the AA cell. Double joke. You're welcome.

The one i sold which is the same as the book.

Thankyou. Worked on the first and its' sisters and brothers. Nice Kit. And I have an EB35 tucked away next to the R1155.

still to be engraved...just need to find someone trustworthy. ....... 🤔😟

It certainly IS (both) !

Ah! Sailor R105 made in Denmark. Nice set. 👍 And is that an Eddystone I spy! EC10 or some such.
