Coinery

Hah, I honestly didn’t mind, Chris…gave me my biggest smile of the day so far. 😆

Yes, as Paddy has narrowed it down to, the Bristol coin is class 3cd, and it looks to me that the London coin is a class 10/11 mule, on account of the angle-backed C on the reverse. This is an excellent resource if you haven’t any books on the series. https://www.rodblunt.com/edwardian-pennies

This one is indeed a penny. Third coinage, mintmark lion, bust 3i

Make sure it’s the surgical/household acetone, though, not the stuff you clean your nails with, as these mostly have moisturisers +\- other products added to them.

Excellent stuff! 👏👏👏👏

Nice intro., Chris, thanks for all the time you’re putting into this…much appreciated! 🤝

No, not a threepence, it’s a threehalfpence. Coys is right, though, you definitely need a set of scales. 👍

Agreeing with this wholeheartedly!

Cross Crosslet Penny 👍

I have to say, whilst I can’t explain away the flaw/issue, I feel the coin looks genuine to me…at least as much as studying an image can conclude. What about weight?

Many thanks, Gents, much appreciated…will inform my soon-to-be-disappointed friend accordingly 👍

If these are genuine mint errors, are they still worth the silly money that was being paid for them 8 years ago? Any recent sales for comparison? Best to slab if genuine?

Hi @Chris Perkins are we anywhere near a fix for these issues, yet? I have to confess I don’t envy you trying to maintain a forum like this.
