    Interesting find with that old pattern! Just got to find that magic tin with some gold in it, now! I'm still looking!
  2. Coinery
    That's better than a £1 scrap, CT...good result!
  3. Coinery
    Wow, you're busy out there??? some of the people you are asking questions of have long since vanished! Just thought I'd mention it in case you get frustrated by any lack of response!

    There really is some awesome photography on this thread! Lovely coins!
  5. Coinery
    Yes, I've had rusty-die W3 coins too!

    I was always taken by how sharp the ET in Beth was!
  7. Coinery
    Not certain, but it looks to have been plugged at 8pm on the reverse, which would favour its authenticity..Not always! http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/7161-interesting-elizabeth-i-fake-shilling/?fromsearch=1

    It's crap. There must be crossed wires somewhere as the idea beggars belief.They (the TPGC's) already have a pretty weighty catalogue of misdemeanours to contend with; to add flawed dies to the list is way, way, beyond the final nail in the coffin...totally bonkers, in fact! As far as I can make out, you really do have to go with crossed wires, it doesn't stand up any other way!

    Not just me in knots about it, then!

    I noticed that also Copper. That is probably the reason for the rejection. Still, a very nice example. Flan corrosion and die corrosion are altogether different beasts entirely, as we all know!Now I'm done, I promise!
  11. Coinery
    You're most welcome, Dan! There's plenty more chopped pork where that came from!
  12. Coinery
    At what point would a cracked die fail the CGS criteria for slabbing? I don't know why I tie myself into a tense knot over these things? OK, I'm better now and moving on!
  13. Coinery
    Wow, I honestly don't understand that at all! I don't see what the state of the die itself has to do with a CGS success or not? Thanks for the update, though, PWA!
  14. Coinery
    Unlikely to be filled across its entire length, and certainly not the result of a worn die.
  15. Coinery
    That's the kind of bold experiment required IMHO, would get the intelligent hobbiest back on track! Viva la VS
  16. Coinery
    Absolutely shocking! So very wrong!
  17. Coinery
    Can I have a copy of the obverse image to cut out and add to my collection/future-website of e1 busts?
  18. Coinery
    Well that's that, Dave G, we've lost this thread now! Peter? It's funny, I once dated a girl called Victoria, she also had an attractive bun bust!
  19. Coinery
    That's also a very nice bust, are they your images, Mark?
  20. Coinery
    I'm going to my dad's tomorrow. If I haven't got a copy there, I'll have it!
  21. Coinery
    This is always worth a read when you can't get to hard-copy books, though! http://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ/pdfs/1988_BNJ_58_9.pdf
  22. Coinery
    Just a bit of one, though the reverse may have been paired up with other obverses? I'm away from my books until tomorrow!
  23. Coinery
    Someone definitely mislaid/mistook or broke the V punch! This is one of the earliest of the beaded Lis reverses, it would be interesting to see whether it was a one off die, or whether others were made? That's where a die-study would be an amazing thing to have access to!
  24. Coinery
    I'd love to one day extend the work by BCW to include legend errors and, as I've mentioned before, perhaps even a die-study! You just can't have a job at the same time, unfortunately! Wouldn't that be a great way to while away a life?
  25. Coinery
    Never tried the envelope trick before! What are the rough timescales and typical colouration?
