  1. Thank you, and absolutely right, never look a gift horse in the mouth. I really must get a decent camera again…my phone is amazing with some images, but absolutely shocking for capturing surfaces and colours in coins.
  2. Nothing particularly special, but it ended up being a freebie, so I forgive it its faults (my iPhone images are of course even more unkind, it’s actually got a reasonably nice tone) 🙂 BCW LN-1A:d2 where one die is apparently/likely N over I and reading “REGNA” Quite nice in that respect!
  3. Woah, this all seems a little out of character. Really bothers me when people are being unkind to each other!
  4. Here are some known counterfeits if that helps? Yours is clearly a different die from the ones shown, if that kick-starts the post for you?
  5. Just for the record, here…when I stated airtight in my earlier post, I wasn’t actually referring to slabbing. Rather any means to keep them in their current state because, presumably, you wouldn’t want to turn them into something else from bad storage? Not every coin tones attractively, so I guess you run that risk unless you find a way to keep them as is! For me I’d be looking at coin flips or capsules.
  6. Don’t take my word for it, though, I’ve only ever had a few proofs in my life, ever! Let’s see what everyone else says, they’ll definitely know more than I do The fields are ultra vulnerable to oxidisation but, when you come to think about it, there are a huge number of Maundy coins and proof sets that are really beautiful in their toned states! I still think I’d want to keep them ‘fresh,’ if you have a choice that is?
  7. I can’t imagine for a second that a cabinet would do? I’d be thinking you’d want these airtight? I would!
  8. I’ve just had my first look over your website…that’s a phenomenal body of work. Comprehensive doesn’t quite capture the immensity of it! Well done that man!
  9. Thank you, appreciate that
  10. Thank you, I really appreciate your insights. With this being a 6+G do you happen to have the Freeman number to hand? I never dreamt I’d be buying such coins ever again, so have long since parted with the book.
  11. Bought one of these today, just so someone might talk to me. A common date, but an OK grade I’d say
  12. Bloody good, though, and still working ‘blind’ on the other details
  13. https://www.facebook.com/reel/156719923697668?fs=e&s=TIeQ9V
  14. Well, eight weeks so far has given me this! I’m really pleased with them and will carry on a little while, yet! Much better than my phone pictures show…I SO wish I had my old camera set-up!
  15. Everyone should have a nice example of one of these. Such lovely coins!
  16. Oh, Lord…how baroque
  17. Thank you still very obvious, though, in the finders images, that the proposed ‘bell’ PM is actually the ‘A’ of SPINA
