    Eww, I'd go to about scrap + 5%. A real shame.

    Wifey said that iff I go, I can't take my wallet. Or my house keys.

    It's missing a couple by the looks of it, heres one to compare. https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/canterbury-auction-galleries/catalogue-id-srcan10022/lot-ed76c71f-8620-4886-87f1-a5d800d66850

    And one bidder with a feedback of 2 pushing the bid all the way....

    I wouldn't be happy about the double forehead - poor lass looks like she's been axe murdered. Given that all the rest are average, this one looks way too good to be in the group and would normally (if real) be sold seperately. When viewing the images above at max size, try pressing CTRL and + (or - to shrink) - this is browser zoom control. It doesn't seem to help much, but if you have a decent resolution large screen it might.

    The left one has had some retouching, I'd suggest that a cloning-tool mishap created the upper PM, and in the left image there is a circle from a softening or blur tool between the head and the C, also some larger scratches are not visible in the left, but the damage to the rim seems consistent.

    This is the biggest image available for the listing (it's not mine btw)... Hopefully it will expand to full size when clicked on. (should then give you a + cursor to click it again to get the largest size) clicky clicky reverses

    Sorry, that was my attempt at humour. i'm not very good at it.

    A new variety ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/High-Grade-1887-Sixpence-Jubilee-Head-925-Silver-Coin-British-Victoria-Six-Pence/263339292053?hash=item3d503eb595:g:SfsAAOSwZlZaFJtz 1887 Small Jubilee head 6d.

    Oh trust me, these have been in a dry box for *years*.... just trying to sort through all 6 coin cases + all the drawers and folders to get it all organised at long last I seriously didn't realise I had such a "problem" lol.
  11. Unwilling Numismatist
    Didn't think to check Hartberger, but their 15mm is nearer the mark!

    I have an Eddie farthing, what is the best thing to store it in - Lighthouse 17.5 is a bit big really, but more than that, what is the best way to store hammies in general. I have a few I haven't sold (yet) and want to keep them in something appropriate. Cheers!
  13. Unwilling Numismatist
    In that case my original post stands. I've never seen a blue box for this crown
  14. Unwilling Numismatist
    Sorry - crossed wires. I know about the blue "set" but for some reason got it into my head there was a blue box like the green and red/burgundy ones.
  15. Unwilling Numismatist
    Well done for asking, if you feel the need to torment them some more, why not also enquire about the 1951 + box colours - does Blue actually exist, and the 1965 Churchill satin finish Should give someone in the RM at least a minor migraine!
  16. Unwilling Numismatist
    If you tried with an image, and then tried to add a smaller image, the forum would remember and not let you. Try replying with the smaller image (Oh and Hi and welcome !)
  17. Unwilling Numismatist
    Mostly pretty worthless even if not 'burial green' these days as so many have been found.
  18. Unwilling Numismatist
    My green one is slide-out but I was eyeing a half decent (green) one in a lidded box a couple of weeks ago. Not seen a blue one show up ever.
  19. Unwilling Numismatist
    I was thinkning about this yesterday, I'm not entirely sure how good it woulld be if the rotation is off a couple of degrees or for variants like cabinet friction, general circulation wear and lighting. I guess I can have a go and see what happens when the nights draw in a bit more.
  20. Unwilling Numismatist
    Rob, so eloquently put
  21. Unwilling Numismatist
    A fool and their money... never a truer saying.
  22. Unwilling Numismatist
    Jeton of some ilk perhaps?
  23. Unwilling Numismatist
    Yes, and Yes, and probably then gone on ebay in a stupor and only realised later when the postman arrives.
  24. Unwilling Numismatist
    Wish I'd bought a dozen now
  25. Unwilling Numismatist
    Blimey o.O thats one of the pitfalls of being a newbie round here.. figuring out who isn't a rogue on ebay I'll post my apologies now then, Sorry John! (oh and if I hadn't just done 300 on a stater, I'd have had this!)
