Got her down a bit more to 450, little does she know I am putting in an offer of £4.50 😁

Haha her dad says she would accept the 500 I offered 😆

Thanks Rob for getting back to me. Yes your quite correct, I can see now under a loupe that the edge has a faint diagonal milled edge all the way round and the filing down would be why it is a wee bit underweight. No sign of it being mounted on the edge although it could have been in one of them mounts that doesn't damage the coin, so as you mentioned filed down so it would fit and hence it having a shiny smooth looking appearance in hand. Thank you

Recent ebay purchase. 5.85g Looks all wrong from smooth edge, strange looking rims and casting flaws, not to mention the 17 is missing.

Yes I noticed that as well Diaconis. Lined up with other coins of that year it just looks odd.

Would i be right in saying that this halfcrown that just sold on ebay, as well as not being Roman or a shilling, is in fact a fake? https://www.ebay.com/itm/154393540815

Can any of you guys advise me if this coin is real or fake please? Everything seems ok with it regarding weight and dimensions, but it has what looks like white stuff on it on the bottom of reverse. Thank you.

Hi Could this be a D over U in FD? Thank you.

I received this in a joblot. Weight 6 grams and 23.5mm dimension. What would cause this mark on it? Thank you.

Cheers guys, its a pity otherwise it's a nice enough coin.

Thanks again Rob

Another Queen Victoria query. Can anyone tell me how this would happen on the head side please? Gives her a look like her hair has escaped from her her hairband 🙄

Thanks guys, just that it looked a little unusual and always better to ask just in case.

Any idea if this is an E under G in REG on this 1864 Queen Victoria shilling? Thank you.

Heres an old penny with only three numbers showing in the date. Blocked die?

Thanks for your answers guys.

Hi guys. Whats your thoughts on this sixpence please? Is it the rarer upside down A variety and possibly M over L? Thank you.

What are your opinions on this sixpence please? Is it a RFX or REX? Thank you 👍

Can anyone tell me if its rare to have these mistakes on a half penny please? Looks like R/R in Victoria E/I in Reg ? P/I in penny.

This is my latest 1849 florin. She looks OK and is bang on weight and dimensions.

I see he is selling another of these 1884 Halfcrowns ozjohn He also has an 1856 florin and it doesn't look right. Thoughts? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Victoria-Silver-Gothic-Florin-Grade-EF/333470123996?_trkparms=aid=111001&algo=REC.SEED&ao=1&asc=20160908105057&meid=fcbaf88d756044c09c0dd79e15c32407&pid=100675&rk=2&rkt=12&sd=333465385020&itm=333470123996&pmt=0&noa=1&pg=2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci:3e66496f-352e-11ea-a1ae-74dbd180426d|parentrq:99807ba816f0a4e9226e3131ff8a1c77|iid:1&redirect=mobile

I,m not too sure if his other coins are fake, the 3d doesn't look quite right. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Queen-Ann-Silver-Sixpence/143461503434?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144&redirect=mobile
