1810 Third Guinea on its way

To much writing

Why not Download and then burn onto a blank cd/dvd? Or buy a USB hardrive for such things as coin pictures or important documents thus saving space ob your hardrive. Simples

Oh of course. I'm sure we can both agree though, that if it HAD been an inadvertent typo, it was a gloriously funny one!

That was entirely for you Peck, checking if you were alert

Last Time i was in Glasgow i was at the Airport dropping of a gorgeous american Lady who i was showing round scotland for 7 days, i'm from Dumdee old Bean, 90 miles outside Glesgae

Natürlich sind Sie immer noch peely wally, Dave Natürlich sie sind, biite richtige grammatiks Herr Peckris Peely Wally am no either, lovely golden Brown colour cos we get the Sun here in Munich Oder warst du eine Frage stellen, weil es gibt keine Frage Zeichnen, wie so ??????

Me to/too/two/twa <<<<< scottish thrown into the mix toooooooooo

I go by Oxford Ski as its the english Language and not butchered by America

Sorry Ski its the German/english and so on. Still a scotsman though. BTW Joe, Peckris offers free English grammer lessons, stick around and you'll learn the proper English

So that would beg the ultimate question of how many were adjusted

Repetitive tasks get hard wired into the brain, so you can almost do them in your sleep your handwriting will be different to mine, even though we are both using the same tools (pens) and producing the same object (words) from the same base resource (letters) IF you were the only man doing the repetitive task, even if he were, he could'nt replicate exactly 100 times what he did the 1st time, surely?

And so, a happy birthday to youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Not so, a skilled worker would be able to get almost identical weights every time, and his work would be recognisable. Given Rob's comments re low circulation, I think he may be onto something useful Even so David, a skilled worker could not replicate anothers work exactly, like identical angles etc, much like an engraver could'nt replicate anothers work It isn't so much recreating the angles as replicating the style of trimming. Is it a quick snip, snip; or is it 6 to 8 snips made by moving gently around the edge to reduce the ensuing irregularity? That is two different styles. Ok, my next question would be, why would they recreate a style of angle during trimming? Why replicate? Why were'nt they crudely trimmed? Sorry, just putting hurdles in there so we can think outside the box

What I'm saying is that with a distinct style of flan trimming, it may be possible to assign each group to an un-named individual. It should also be mentioned that if you look at Besly's article in the 1992 BNJ, the early halfcrowns, shillings and half unites could arguably be similarly categorised. Thinking out loud, it would suggest that the group with 2 main cuts was trimmed by holding the point opposite the angle and taking off a larger piece than on the multiply clipped coins where an attempt appears to have been made to retain most of the design. Two distinct groups of coins which I think corresponds to two individuals. This would suggest trimming at the mint given the consistency. Ok, excuse my ignorance of the subject, but merely thinking over the possibility. The person who trimmed these coins would have to have some sort of definitive size/weight that a coin should be, if the coin was say overweight he'd trim the coin in certain positions to bring it into weight, surely this would entail some sort of jig or device which was adapted for such measures. Another question which i ask myself is, how many years did the same group appear and is it possible for the same person to do the same job for those periods? Hopefully the questions don't sound stupid

Of course it can be useful Rob, but only if you had the information to hand. Are you saying that all those coins are basically as were struck and could give an indication of where and when by the shape of each coin? None of these have been clipped in any way?

Yey, that works even better ... Grammatically correct too, Peck take note ... True, but there isn't any combination of "t" and "o" (or even "oo") Lass mich überlege und komm ich zurück Sie haben 24 Stunden ... Tut tut Paul. You know me, so its du, also, du hast 24 stunden, biite die richtige Grammitks

nearly as old as me!!!! .....me too would you agree that grade is fine?. I won't grade it...How do you grade hammered? It is a very nice coin.Each one a one off.I would love it. Agreed Peter, hammered is harder in My eyes to grade and i personally like it to/too/two and even twa (twa is scottish for 2 Peck) Thought i'd throw all the too' in so Peck can take his pick which is correct. Covered all the bases now
