    The reason Ashford was such an great forger was because he actually used ancient silver etc. to mint his coins. He used worn coins as planchets for his new coins, and he made his own dies as opposed to casting the coins.

    Do you work for Krause? I'm jealous I would love to work in a coin related job.
  3. Hussulo
    Have you weighed it and do you know what a Canadian 5c weighs?

    What would be your theory on it Geoff (I won't be insulted if you think its fake. In my book Numismatics is all about learning and listening as well as sharing opinions). Could it be a die trial before they used the type d reverse. A type of transitional piece perhaps?

    Nice one Gary. It appears to be struck on a wrong planchet. This could also contribute to some loss in detail as the planchet is thinner.

    Very nice coin! it would be great to find out where it was minted.

    Thanks guys. The letters and aren't raised but incuse. I had a look a my father-in-law's Krause and there are similar reverses minus the Pisagua. It is also much the same size as a Chile 8 reales of the same date. I am not dismising fiscal document seal, or post mark theories. If anyone comes across any more information if they could post it I would be truely grateful. Rgears, Hus

    Thanks for taking time out to reaserch your copy Davis for Geoff. From what you point out I would have to go with reverse D. Would you concur?

    I would love to own a classic car. My top choice would be an AC Cobra even if it was a replica. Well here's pictures of an Shelby AC Cobra Replica for anyone that hasn't seen them. If I was ever to call a car Sexy this would be it.

    Expensive and if genuine no doubt rare coin, but not much eye apeal. If I had that much money to spend on a coin personaly it wouldn't be that.

    For anyone that is interested in classic cars. I was at a classic car show yesterday at Thirlstane castle. This is the home of the Maitland family, it is in the Royal Burgh of Lauder near where I live. It is the famous home of John Maitland first duke of Lauderdale, who was one of the five "Cabal". One of the five leading ministers of King Charles II during the early 1670's. He apparently ruled Scotland with a iron hand. Link to slideshow

    Anyone help idetify this? it could be for a medal? Its 41.66mm dia. 11.9mm wide and heavy (it overloads my digital scales). It has the pattern on the front and a screw hole on the centre of the reverse. It is quite thick and also along the (ribon below the unicorn and bird) it has "ENERO 1° DE 1884" written. I have discovered "enero" to be a month, January 1884.

    1964 Offcentre and partial obverse brockage 3d.

    Nice coins and info scottishmoney. I once bought a "California" fractional gold coin. Won it for very little on ebay. I belive it was a restrike/replica and probably gold plated. The obverse had an indian head the reverse 1/2 dollar but had a bear below. I since read somewhere that the coins with bears are restrikes? shed anymore light on this matter?
  16. Hussulo
    Nice one scottishmoney. Congrats.
  17. Hussulo
    No worries. Whenever you have time.

    Ok to be honest most of that went straight over my head Chris, I think it will be a static html site, but I do like your new look site.
  19. Hussulo
    No problemo Chris. By the way how do you "turn on better search engine friendly paths "? Just a thought for when I get my website up and running.
  20. Hussulo
    Somebody posted this on another forum. Thought I'd share it here for anyone that hasn't seen it.
  21. Hussulo
    Stemm said a formal announcement will come later, but court records indicate the coins might come from a 400-year-old ship found off England. CLICK HERE FOR LINK
  22. Hussulo
    Thank you.
  23. Hussulo
    Here's another picture with more light on it.
  24. Hussulo
