    She doesn't look too bad considering her ordeal
  2. Unwilling Numismatist
    I guess that answered the missing coins question then

    I'm not the only one who had a wry smile about the 666 then

    A pipe is a hollow bar, and a very short piece of bar is a flat disc, and a disc between some dies makes a coin.... Where do you want to go with this ?

    1935 Crowns now.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1935-British-George-6-World-Crown-Knight-Commemorative-Silver-Coins-Nice/152906116841?hash=item2399ea2ee9:g:ZpcAAOSws6ZZ5sm4

    Wickes of course, where I get my best washers

    OK I can take a hint, I'll only buy my pennies from @PWA 1967 or if they actually have *some* detail on them

    Oh... macbook / apple. Eww. TextClipping also copies all sorts of formatting info I believe, so I'm still with the image/screenshot solution.

    For clairty, I mean the one on ebay. The pcgs one, well .. I dream of those one day. Maybe.
  11. Unwilling Numismatist
    And a side bet on which one will have a very limited mintage.... I'll go for L, no-one can find that bugger

    They seem to have got it all wrong, the bottom half of the bust is wrong for the head. Looks like an 1885 Lower bust with an 1847 head combo.

    And in this weeks issue of WTF, you call THAT a Penny... we have this lovely example of an 1877. So quick, before they put me back in the nice white jacket that does up at the back.... Is it a reverse H (sea and thn lighthouse, thats my best shot).
  14. Unwilling Numismatist
    I'd hate to leave the question hanging
  15. Unwilling Numismatist
    I guess thats possible, but after my trip to the mint, where they said they get through something like a thousand dies in a year for certain coins, I'd be suprised if it's that rather than an error with setting up the machine for a new run.

    I didn't think Decimal would show so many differences given the manufacturing process advancements since like 1860! I'll check mine tomorrow, but I don't keep any more than 1 set of anything these days and don't have them all. (Every little helps though right?)

    Screenshot it and save to an image file from paint or windows 8 or 10 use snipping tool and save the image, then upoad the image

    Odd how you read something and didn't know anything about it and then see something that triggers the memory... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/US-STATE-QUARTERS-x3-ARKANSAS-MASSACHUSETTS-PENNSYLVANIA-BICENTENNIAL-x1/132490380415?hash=item1ed90ac47f:g:dnQAAOSw9Z1acwUl US State quarters. This is just to prove that my retention of stuff is working.
  19. Unwilling Numismatist
    Or have I had too much smirnoff? Edit: It's a cinquefoil crown
  20. Unwilling Numismatist
    Ouch! thats gonna hurt eventually.
  21. Unwilling Numismatist
    For Roman coins, I find the VCRC useful - your mileage may vary, but once you get used to the search it can be fairly quick Austin College VCRC
  22. Unwilling Numismatist
    Great stuff!
  23. Unwilling Numismatist
    It looks a little small, but hand sizes vary. Heres one I happen to have laying about.
  24. Unwilling Numismatist
    It's a new grade, surely? similar to some crowns I recently viewed, where I think the seller thought VF meant Very Flat!
  25. Unwilling Numismatist
    I think he also means uncircular.
