there's Greek on the ?reverse? - upper case Epsilon Omicron Sigma spelling EOS, the name of an Ancient Greek goddess.

I agree - but the incuse dig by the 7 is almost certainly post-Mint damage.

yes, it’s way too perfect not to be a repro

George VI Davissons
Peckris 2 replied to Coinery's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
NOT ‘spent in significant numbers’! (see copper123’s post..). Also 1951 Crowns were struck to ‘prooflike’ quality. But perhaps we should agree to differ on this? -
Halfpenny ID check
Peckris 2 replied to mrbadexample's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Farthings were 1) a lower priority due to being so small that people didn't study them too closely for die failures etc, 2) being so small, there was a greater proportion of protective rim, 3) (guess..) the dies didn't wear so quick? -
1½ Pence - William IV Colonial issue......Fault
Peckris 2 replied to Citizen H's topic in Free for all
I'd say more likely post-mint where someone has either whacked the coin or put it in a vice-like device which i s why you can still see a trace of the original design. -
George VI Davissons
Peckris 2 replied to Coinery's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Regardless of whether some found their way into circulation, they weren't struck as currency IMO. -
I think I'd concur about the MS64 - though it is slightly hard to tell from small pictures. (Perhaps next time you could just screenshot the coin without the surrounding stuff?)

Peckris 2 replied to Coinery's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
AFAIK there aren’t any currency crowns? The 1937 and 1951 were both commemoratives, not for circulation. -
Do you have pictures? Sometimes grading is notoriously fickle, and if these coins formed a set, one might expect them to be in similar condition.

1902 Matte Proof Half Crown /Grading Askew?
Peckris 2 replied to VickySilver's topic in TPG Discussions
Wish it was mine! -
A nice enough example - some collectors are a lot less bothered about rim holes than others. I have an UNC 1826 halfcrown with graining weaknesses at 12 and 6 o’clock indicating it might have been held in a brooch or something similar. It’s never bothered me in the slightest.

Which rulers of England did not have coins issued during their reign ?
Peckris 2 replied to SiHawks's topic in Free for all
I'm puzzled about this. Edward V was never crowned king, and during his brief spell as monarch Richard III would have controlled the Mint. After Bosworth it would have been moot anyway. -
Florins, Shillings and Misc .... on going sort out.
Peckris 2 replied to Citizen H's topic in Free for all
It’s not that far off VF imo. Obviously such coins look more worn when enlarged, so in hand it probably looks very nice. -

It’s not VF but it’s better than Fine. Between the two I'd say. -

both coins are nice to have - the William especially. -

Peckris 2 replied to SiHawks's topic in Free for all
Edward VIII didn't have any coins OFFICIALLY issued, but the new brass 3d was issued to traders for them to try them out in slot machines. They were supposed to be returned but a few weerent so these are extremely rare and valuable. Also, there are rare proofs of many (all?) denominations, so it could be argued you can exclude him from the list. As for Lady Jane Grey, she is not included in many lists of official English monarchs - Edward VI had tried to disavow Mary and Elizabeth and nominated Jane as the nearest Protestant candidate. Even if you do allow her, 9 days was hardly enough time to prepare and issue coins!. -

I would say “UNC for details” but the wiping and green tone makes it a less than desirable coin. -

Peckris 2 replied to Citizen H's topic in Free for all
Yes, as already mentioned this was withdrawn to avoid them being gold plated - but they're not rare, nor is the replacement reverse (which was introduced for William IV, and continued to be used until 1911 when the ‘lion on crown’ design replaced it.) You've got two very nice examples there, around EF. -

Good luck! That's the large blue book divided into three horizontal sections? I'm keeping mine…

I didn’t even know there were two different designs on the 1992 20p?
