    looks as if it's been retooled, possibly?

    What a shame - I've ordered an Annulet from Peeter Nichols, who are now closing down. I would have been interested in another Mascle (still waiting for the Annulet...)

    Someone had a theory that people who had made many attachments were the ones who can't post them now, which would explain why those 3 test attachments by a new poster worked.

    I agree that there are too many in the period to classify them all. But good on anyone who makes them a special interest.

    Phil Collins is very underrated as a musician - he not only helped write several Genesis songs, he was also a consummate arranger, something very evident from Nursery Cryme onwards which was the album after he joined.

    Are you talking about Britannia's leg? The pictures are pretty poor, but I can't see this as corrosion - depending upon whether it's incuse or raised (the jury's out...) then it's either a planchet flaw causing delamination, or perhaps something like grease finding its way onto the die.

    My understanding of the term "VIP proof" is that it doesn't refer to a characteristicallly different method of striking, but that they are normal proofs produced in very limited quantities for VIP visitors in years when proofs weren't otherwise issued. Therefore there aren’t any VIP proofs for e.g. 1950 1951 1953, but would exist if struck in 1948 1949 1952 or 1954.

    The New York examples were struck on polished dies, hence prooflike. They're scarcer than the regular but not sure of the relative mintages.

    Ridiculous price for an at best GVF example.
  13. Peckris 2
    better than Fine but not VF in my book

    You might have competition!

    you've posted in Hammered which I usually mark as “read” as I have no interest in them - could you please check the forum before you post? Many thanks. (These belong in Non-British coins). Having said that, those two examples are in a very collectable condition.

    You identified my JH 6d as a pattern, I remember! I'll try and post a picture after I've posted without, just to see if I still get 'Forbidden'... (No, I didn't get 'Forbidden', just "This comment can no longer be edited.." even though it was straight after posting the above comment - and I bet I'm allowed THIS edit even though it's after the picture attempt)

    Their estimates are absurd. For most coins, the hammer price is on average double the top estimate.

    Actually, it’s the Jubilee Head issue for 1893 that's very rare - the Old Head which you have is the normal (not rare) issue. But the 1821 is a very nice example.

    I'd say GVF at least, but as said, the tone is offputting. I'm not sure I'd want it in my collection, even if the price was right.
  21. Peckris 2
    Yes - the Edward obverse was flatter and didn't cause ghosting to the same extent; but the savage ghosting on 1911 and 1912 reverses must have caused them to redesign.

    I've bought silver that was so shiny that some dealers avoided it like the plague. However, I have a nearly infallible way to tell : if the shine is in the fields and between the legend, but not on the design or legend, then I judge it’s natural; it would be virtually impossible to clean only the parts that exclude all the raised elements. As to how they survive in that condition, I wouldn't like to speculate.
  23. Peckris 2
    It’s very definitely Reverse ja, else it would be Reverse nein.
  24. Peckris 2
    Have you tried the Unconfirmed Varieties forum?
  25. Peckris 2
    I'd be interested in the scarce non-Maundy early Vic examples, also W IV, G IV, G III.
