Coinery

very good!

Hi JPK, you have asked the million dollar question here, and there's no simple way to answer it, as the coin in question exhibits just about every vagarity that makes it nigh impossible to pin down! I'm firmly sitting on the fence re the grading of hammered coins, as I genuinely don't believe such a science exists for the type, despite the media of the TPGC's and others! Or at least if it does, it cannot be linked to value, on account of the other far more important aspect of eye-appeal, and currently unquantified rarity of variety (this shilling is the most common of them all, incidentally)! It may be loosely described as an NVF coin, but has other aspects of negatives and positives that alter its value! To play safe and stay with the TPG terminology, it has NVF details! As I said, it's just about the hardest of questions to answer, without a dissertation response, or an ability to define instinct! Are you thinking of buying it? Edit: it's probably VFish truth be told, but not VFish money, given it's the commonest of all the Liz shillings! Double edit: £350-£400

Hah, yes, this is what happens when you hang the stern on top of the lock gates and let all the water out! Basic stuff, even one-time holiday makers understand, and are educated in, this one basic principle! It looks like a hire boat?????

Surely it have to be a charlie shilling very good! I knew TG was up to something we weren't all privy to!

Yes, much better than my images! I've sent Chris my own screen-shots/photos of the pages, which I'm accessing only via an iPhone...it's an odd one, though doesn't really interfere with my using the book! I'm in trouble with this decimal coinage thing...I've around 10 pieces already!

I could just about relive my youth, thinking on how much cooler it would've been snorting through a rolled-up E1 shilling!

Personally, I don't believe they were contemporarily rolled to hide, it would be as easy to discretely hide a flat coin which, in all honesty, would be much easier to spend when needed! In my opinion, there are not enough, obviously heated and rolled, examples to suggest it was a quirk of the period! I've haven't seen a single other example!

Ok, got screenshots, will email them over!

I can count the pixels across a 2p as 21pixels if that helps? Will google screenshot and find a way!

Not sure I can perform a screen shot on the iPhone? The images are very grainy, with the sort of edges you'd expect from low res...if I double-tap the image, it enlarges (also in low res)!Could be my phone, Chris, or my wireless download maybe? I'll see if there's a way to capture the resolution view?

OK I'm all kindled up, and works well! Not sure about the images, though, they only show as very low res, pixelated pics on my iPhone?? Great info., however, really like it! Call the e-pub a donation to the pre-dec fund, Chris! All the best!

I also have this on my ipad and works a treat. Better with the kindle app StewieThink you could all be right!

They're cast pewter copies! No doubt about it!

Does kindle read e-pub? I don't want to now buy the kindle version as well? I've downloaded a couple of free e-pub readers, but none appear to be able to file search my phone for the download?

Just bought the ePub version, but just HOW on earth do I get to read it? I've downloaded the file into something called DGS Dowloader, but can't seem to get any further than that???

Not quite as good IMO, though the bust is overall better! It falls down against the other on account of its incomplete beading and reduced eye-appeal on account of it. Very nice coin, though, regardless!Bust 1F on the '61 is just about the most commonest of 6D's, look out for the rarer bust types on this date! 1571 and '72 with Crown PM are other comparable 6ds for common issue. Thanks for putting it up RPE! Edit: also looks like there might be an old crease vertically in the left obverse field? Difficult to tell on the phone, but the crack in the legend does tend to support?

There must be a fair number of series collectors of decimal coins, looking at the recent activity re the Kew Coins. Came as no surprise to find the more serious amongst them would want the aquatics variety! Just out of interest, Chris, how many serious bidders did you have? Say, those prepared to pay £500 or more?

I just hold it in hand and nibble the edges off with a pair of pincers! Normally 2 and a bit sides are enough to prize it open enough to drop the coin onto the bed or similar!

They've/you've captured just the right flavour IMHO!

Well done you for getting to uni, and covering off the home essays/assignments/reading with two kids on board! There were a couple of women in my cohort who had kids at the time...amazing!

No, not at all. Can you be more specific?Mark Sorry, design software for the site! Is it a drag n drop design with integral shopping cart provided by the host? Or is it bespoke, dream weaver, or home-built with HTML etc?

That is a nicely designed site, Mark...what are you using, if you don't mind me asking?

It's possible to add links for just about every other webpage you come across, just not the eBay pages for some reason! Really sorry about that, Peck, it does rely on others kindly adding the link, which I myself always do for others if I'm on a PC and have viewed the eBay item in question! It's a nightmare, don't be cross with us poor smartphone users! I still want to join in!

I was still put out to have 2 coins (around the 1k mark each) snubbed! It was quite a shock to have an 'unfortunately' email from them!

You just know what the description's going to read for this one 111286725040
