    Seems perhaps a little harshly graded. I've seen many worse 62's than that.
  3. Nick
    I agree.

    Found another 1868 Maundy set which seems to be a different obverse 3 die. The I in BRIT is less upright than the earlier ones I posted.
  5. Nick
    Those both look to be obverse 2. Obverse 3 has two tufts of hair that "point" towards the R: at the end of BRITANNIAR. I can't see any obvious differences in those two examples, and they are lit differently which doesn't help, although the I in REGINA looks slightly doubled in the first.

    Picture of the 3 with reasonably decent images:.

    I only found four images that are definitely Maundy (ie still part of their set) and only three of the photos were good enough quality to believe the 3d's are from the same dies. A much larger sample would be needed to draw any conclusions.

    From the small sample of 1868 Maundy sets I could find online, they all have a Davies type 3 obverse. The RRITANNIAR is obverse type 2, so more than likely a currency die.

    I don't know what chemicals are contained in the lining of those 1911 proof set boxes, but they certainly do produce some wacky colourful toning.

    Could it be a maundy die that was later used for currency? The annual reports show that there were 43 obverse dies used for 1,469,592 currency 3d pieces and 3 obverse dies for 7,704 maundy 3d pieces. If just one of those dies contained the error, it's unlikely that there were originally more than 10 or 20 thousand RRITANNIAR minted. It does seem unusual that the error was not corrected, given the number of B over R in BRITTANIAR that exist in other denominations.

    Lovely frosty lustre on that halfcrown. What are the assigned grades on those two?
  15. Nick
    I don't know what it is about the OH shillings, but they do seem to tone readily.

    Almost. The "godless" is 28mm and the "gothic" is 30mm.
  18. Nick
    Remember that florins have changed size through the years, ranging from 28mm to 30mm.

    It's difficult to see how blurred that image is. What does it look like when you click the magnify button?
  22. Nick
    That trademark would never work here in the UK. Look out for the "CAC" sticker!

    An improvement I think, you've created more of a perception of depth, but perhaps just lost those hints of lustre. It'll be interesting to see the results with the new lamps.
  25. Nick
    I wouldn't have thought that there was even the slightest possibility that the 1918 would get a higher grade than the 1919, but there you go.
