Yes but where is the difference between the frosted and a normal proof...........A fine line?

Secret dealers...........We KNOW your secrets Peter I've got a bath full of Baked beans and mushy peas to dive into later...Mrs Peter is on a leash. I really worry about you Peter

I think frosted Proofs are more difficult to define. Personally i've never seen, or know what a frosted looks like....Anyone have one to compare?

That guy is a complete TWAT. I know, we had a...........errrr, conversation about his 3 grades. Personally the coin looks polished to me

Secret dealers...........We KNOW your secrets Peter

lol ~ reminds me of the e mail I received "from the desk of Prince somebody or other of Nigeria", promising me $3 million for a £500 registration fee. He quoted a London address which, when I google earthed it, turned out to be a disused petrol station in Hendon Well from one 34 year old to another of similar age, I presume you will be taking advantage of this magnificent offer (for a small fee of course ) In the meatime, take a peek at their promo video on you tube ~ FÜ%k, quick, where do i sign up. This guy has converted me with his modified video and his bullshit spiel.............. here is is again spouting armageddon

There's a bit of evidence to be retained. Nobody has properly sorted the 1804 dollar and associated patterns into originals and restrikes. With the obvious underlying features of an 1801 8 reales, this is clearly an original Soho piece. For anybody interested enough to study them, there is a worthwhile project to be undertaken here. looks like its gonna get sore for someones wallet. 1,131 quid with a day and a bit to go It's about right given there are a couple of tiny marks in the field. Mint state I'd say it would be £1500-2000. Trouble is Rob, if there has'nt been one kicking around for a while it might go topside. Winning bidder so far had a quick stab at £66.99, so he knows its rare

Thanks, Peter! Any ideas where I'd get a list 51? Do similar studies exist for the William III copper? Try the Colin Cooke website

You certainly cast a very wide net, Dave! Where on earth do you start with paper money? I basically got it for its history. Its an operation Bernhard forgery and the serial was'nt noted for this date. It has been now. Just missed an original white isse Tenner in an auction from 1935, bugger!!!!! All totally over my head! Though I did once, a long time ago, decide if Ed7 had any notes, I would collect them! I still don't know to this day whether he did or not? Operation Bernhard was basically the Nazis attempt to destabilise the British Economy by flooding it with counterfit notes during the war. They were apparently some of the best fakes ever produced. Google or wikipedia it, great story. Oh and ED VII era did produce notes.I did pay over the odds for that note, dip the toe lightly. Creases, folds tears are not good to the note fraternity, even pin pricks lol

Told ya, buy a raw one and get a small tin of pertrol/paraffin, and send them back to the USA. In fact, that newbie who was doing that pryamid scheme might actually have his uses

Went back to it last night and had gone. Who's bought it?

You seem to be forgetting the fees involved selling on ebay, 13.5% if payment is made with paypal

A nice silver French Jeton just purchased. 30mm

I like this very much. Did you buy this to sell? Just something i found Clive, the price nearly made me spit out my tea €930 or €970 i think it was

Another little something in the hammered range.....A Stephen Penny Type 1 Exeter

You wish lol

You can't price something that is unique, and all of these types are unique. If the subject matter was more appealing it could do £100+, I would guess yours would be in the £20-£50 region though. So are they all one off pieces? Yes, each being engraved by individuals. Its a nice piece and maybe worth hanging onto unless you are really desperate to sell. These engraved coins are finding their way into the market, but not quite popular just yet.

The last one George Gotobed got four months' hard labour for stealing a rabbit and a duck in 1890 lol, cracking name though, wonder if there's any in the phonebook now
