    It's not straightforward, but the image reference is contained in the source of the page. Here's the image for the link you supplied:

    Yep. It's a fake. 1864 florin die number 64 is a well known wrong'un. A search of this forum will provide plenty of information about these fakes.
  3. Nick
    Yes, mine too, except for the farthing. Here's the penny obverse.
  4. Nick
    No, not really. The cameo on the silver reduces with the size of coin. Any cameo on the bronze is not particularly noticeable. Here's the penny obverse.
  5. Nick
    I've seen quite a number of 1937 proof sets with cameo. Here's an example from my set.

    My 1882 halfcrown has the same die rust spots.

    Here you go VS.

    Here is the picture of VS's 1839 halfcrown:

    It sold for $18,500 when it was sold at Goldbergs in 2016.

    An interesting mule. Sixpence reverse and half sovereign obverse.

    Here are the pictures: Lot 30849 Lot 32651 It's difficult to see how the second coin only achieved MS62. It's a beauty.

    They won't be seeing that again. I'll bet it has already been melted down.

    It's not a plain edge, the description is wrong. The picture on the saleroom.com shows a milled edge.
  14. Nick
    Having looked at some other examples, it seems that the 1927 and 1928 wreath crowns have the slightly different reverse.

    In Photobucket, go to your library, click on a picture you want, then click on the "direct" link to the right of the picture. Then you can insert that link here, either by simply pasting it, or by using "Insert image from URL".

    Whether or not a coin contains the denomination does not have any bearing on whether it is legal or not. The various Coinage Acts over the years allow the government to make a proclamation that specifies what constitutes a particular denomination and as long as a coin meets those requirements it is legal. Here is an example of a proclamation: https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/2446362

    I think it's a page coding issue. If I narrow the window gradually, the like button disappears when the window reaches a certain width. Sometimes it hops down to the next line, but not always.

    Fear of missing out.

    Sadly, any value it had disappeared with the harsh cleaning. I think that the Spink VF price of £45 is much nearer the mark than the asking price £450.

    Or is it just an email address harvester...

    I recommend that you scan your computer with Malwarebytes, it's free and one of the best at finding and removing malware. It's a premium trial and features are time-limited, but just let it do its thing and then remove it if you wish.

    It looks like the centre part of a £2 coin with the brass outer section removed.
  23. Nick
    Looks like a case of mismatched photos. The obverse is from the unmistakable 1935 "Rocking Horse" Crown.
  24. Nick
    No, you haven't missed a digit. The PCGS pop. report contains your number, but the certificate validation section rejects it. Anyway, here's the coin:
  25. Nick
    That number isn't valid VS. Have you missed a digit? It has to be a 7 or 8 digit number (according to the PCGS website).
