thats what i thought at first glance,

no go on which one

at spinks ? do i still have to enroll with ngc or can you submit thru spinks and do you know where it is done cant see anything online about it

and the sixpence,

have ha;f a dozen coins i'd like to get slabbed by ngc, was waiting for the office to open at spinks london but alas not yet, would love to get this half crown slabbed and the crown

would be interesting to know how they tone the silver like that

for a cool £550 😉 https://www.westminstercollection.com/p-U403/The-2018-Remembrance-Masterpiece-Poppy-Coin.aspx?utm_source=twc blog&utm_medium=blog post&utm_campaign=2018 masterpiece poppy coin&utm_term=u403&utm_content=100 Poppies 100 years creating a masterpiece&sn=3

can i ask what is manvil ?

which is the moneyer goldwine ?

why is that ? because people dont like, slabs or ngc or even spinks

Still waiting lol, anyone know whats happening with that

this deep proof like business refers to bu coins ? and they are dpl because of the new dies and they are bu or can you find dpl in coins intended for circulation ?? or they have had some finishing done to the dies ? because i got the silver ironside penny for this year and although it was bu it has proof like lettering and crown, when i asked the rm they said they were bu, so are they called dpl ?

no, was a technique where a thin sheet of gold was rolled flat onto silver, like gold plating https://www.jewelryshoppingguide.com/what-is-rolled-gold/

is that rolled gold?

rob how were they gilt, is like gold plating ? thanks for your replies

i'm sure i have an Edward VII with the streaks, will have a look later if i get time

seems to be a vast disparity between gold colour and amount of gold between the ebay one and this one on Ingrams, not that i would ever buy form them again https://www.ringramcoins.com/coins/farthings/farthing-19260.html

Fist half decent coin fro a while, GOLDWINE on CA (Canterbury) i think its Richard I, seems to be on the point of change over into John, a more solid id would be welcome, thanks in advance, a very nice coin really, solid, bit of a wavy flan with some toning, came from some really soft sandy soil,

bit of a specialist subject, lovely coins though, one wonders how they survive the centurys, have they been passed dpwn, are they fro a hoard or detecting find

thats why i like the George VI cameo proofs, seems to be the first time they were made with any chance of the average collector getting their mits on one,
