Can I ask please; what is the best condition 1*+C you have seen?
I found one last week which is 100% 1*+C no doubt in the normal heavily circulated condtion.
I also found the coin imaged I wasn't 100 % sure with this one because the tooth is slightly out of shape.
What do you think?
Thanks.
When I count what appear to be teeth from the image I count an eleven tooth spacing if I draw in what I think to be teeth it looks it could be 11.5.
My gut feeling the coin is a 11-tooth (Gouby BP1896Ac) what do you think?
Thanks
I finally got around to taking better images which represent my coin. Still cant get my head around finding this as cheap as I did unattributed.
As I have not been posting here about my finds I now have a backlog of finds to add to my collection taking photos and sharing here found some amazing coins unattributed.
Rather than an attempt at drilling, (the tip of the drill being pointed would remove material in the center first) Not around the edge. This looks like an attempt at using a hole punch.
Ok thanks, Gouby BP1901Ab 10 3/4 teeth the center of the last one is not over the gap. The one which is not covered by Gouby similar to Ab where is the last 1 positioned?
Thanks
In your collection do you have a 1901 Penny, NARROW Date, BP1901Aa?
How rare are these? I remember reading somewhere they are few and far between.
Thanks,
I think the coin is 9+K for the following reasons, can you let me know what you think please?
Obverse:
Its not obverse 7 because the first set of leaves are not nearly touching the colon after DG
- Looks to have 16 leaves.
- 1st set of leaves are arranged different to Obverse 8 which are more spread out.
- The ribbon shows some crimping.
- The nape hair seems to match up.
Reverse:
The lighthouse resembles most the lighthouse shown on reverse K and the date numerals are widely spaced and low in the exergue.
Could you please let me know what die pairing you think the coin is.
Thanks
Would be tricky using a lathe a precision milling machine would be more suitable, I have one but dont have accurate scales to weigh a coin afterwards.
Using a lathe to remove the legends you would also remove Britannias foot for example and part of the exergue.
