    Thanks, Rob! Does anyone ever end up with all the paperwork from collections like these? All those pencil numbers must correlate with some probably extensive written records?
  2. Coinery
    Blimey, Rob, you actually have those bulletins? Truly phenomenal, and thank you so much for digging that out! So, are these references to ‘other’ coins, or connected to the actual coin itself?

    Question 2) Another Comber ticket from a different coin. What do you think the references within the red oval means? Do you think the coin came from these sources, or is he just highlighting other examples he knows for comparison?
  4. Coinery
    Another couple of questions: 1) Comber’s ticket behind…any idea what the reference indicates, as it might identify the other ticket, which is clearly linked by value? Is it Baldwin?

    Just finished reading this article, absolutely fascinating!
  6. Coinery
    Ahh, yes, quite possibly…many thanks for that

    Quick question: what does RCB refer to from the 40s? Also, a useful document, that I’m sure you’ve all seen before, so forgive me, I’m simply sharing it here to log it for myself https://www.britnumsoc.org/images/BIOGRAPHIES/6_Coin_Tikts/Coin-Tickets-Main-List-008.pdf

    Something I’ve only just discovered if you use an iPhone…when you select your image, in the bottom left of the screen you’ll see an options button. Click on that and you get to choose a size to attach it at, with it also highlighting the Kbs at each size! Nice touch Apple!

    Superb, thank you, excellent resource!

    I’m part of an Elizabeth I group on FB, looking at interesting historical facts, articles, items, etc., and someone shared today (obviously) that this is the day that Elizabeth became queen, at the death of Mary, using this picture. Does anyone know the origin, source, date of it? I haven’t got any further with the OP, and can’t seem to find it anywhere online!
  11. Coinery
    Yes, try closing all the pages entirely before trying again. The file limit is a pain in the arse!

    Thought this was good! “King’s Cross station, June 6th, at 4am - there’s something unusual going on?”
  13. Coinery
    Definitely rare in that grade! You’d have to walk a very long, long, mile to better it.
  14. Coinery
    So funny, I have just posted a near mirror comment in the gardening thread
  15. Coinery
    This thread really isn’t for me, but I cannot help but be impressed by your dedication to this, and I of course love your historic referencing in this particular post…amazing passion, input, and care! Superb!
  16. Coinery
    Exquisite, Rob…you have some of the loveliest pieces out there, that could easily be the best of that mark/date?
  17. Coinery
    I was a total idiot, yesterday, and let this go because it went £40 beyond my decided top bid…I should’ve just decided I really wanted it instead. The commonest of 3ds but uncommonly beautiful! I’ll never learn!
  18. Coinery
    I’d also 100% concur with the two dies matching yours, what a find!
  19. Coinery
    Oh, wow, minus the crack, that’s a great penny with ANY mark. Goodness me he fell on his feet with that one…they’re out there, then! Viva la eBay
  20. Coinery
    That’s exactly how I would approach it too!
  21. Coinery
    Could be, Scott, difficult to say with certainty. Do you have it in-hand, it might be more obvious then, because the pictures don’t really show whether it’s simply 2D marks, rather than an incuse-raised device? On the reverse, does the line I’ve drawn fit with the mark on the obverse, because they generally show through on the reverse too, and there potentially looks to be signs of that?
  22. Coinery
    That’s great! Many thanks, @jelida & @Rob, really appreciate that!
  23. Coinery
    What’s the thoughts? Chris Comber in biro, rather than his blue ink fountain pen, or someone else?
  24. Coinery
    I’m aware that other HAL.F coins exist, like this ‘67, so I’m curious!
  25. Coinery
    I picked this up yesterday and know very little about the series…there looks to be a dot in HAL .F and also what appears to be a lustred indent in Victoria’s shaw? Are there micro-varieties that address this, or am I looking at post mint flaws? The dot could quite simply be corrosion/delamination, I haven’t seen it in-hand, yet? I know similar HAL.F dot coins exist, so thought it worth asking.
