This is a misunderstanding
-
Thanks, Jerry, really appreciate your input here! I thought the right hand ticket looked Comber, any thoughts on the left, from what little is shown? Edit: sorry I meant TopCarp2 and he’s definitely signing himself off as Stephen???
-
Can confirm the ticket to the right is Stephen’s of Top Carp 👍 Anyone for the left one?
-
Can I ask a favour…does anyone recognise the tickets accompanying this coin? some of the details in the right hand ticket looks Comber, but what of the left?
-
Aww, that’s great…I’d say that’s a match. Many thanks for that! Edit: Just thinking ‘1558 in obverse legend’ ? What does it belong to?
-
I was hoping this ticket would be Comber’s, but it looks as though he prints in capitals, unless he ever went through a phase of lowercase italics?
-
Still down! I downloaded the app., but will be deleting it, just as soon as the site’s back up.

Some heathen humour 😁

They really aren’t making it clear…is that really worth $90 already? It’s got Spink and North cataloguing…what’s the Withers ref all about?
-
You’d think they’d know better than this? You could be eating your lunch, whilst talking on your phone at a train station, and STILL spot this one in a shop window across the other side of the rail track with one eye closed!

Amazing the difference two photos can make! The first looks like it’s just popped off the die, the second, like it’s been on the bottom of the ocean a few hundred years!
-
I was simply looking at various dies for the double crown and came across these two that were difficult to reconcile. I initially assumed them to be different coins of the same die…I think it a tricky call, photography versus analysis, for me at least. Interestingly the chronology is all wrong at London Coins, which counts against me to be fair!
-
The stop before IACOBVS? Try expanding the SAS at the bottom of the coin?
-
-
These two coins are meant to be exactly the same coin, photographed at different times. Of course photography can vary, but this one looks comparatively mushy…what do you think?
-
I laughed more at the 68p postage

Fabulous little halfpennies you have there! It was always my understanding that they were cut from sheet with shears but, on reflection, that seems incredibly labour intensive, and I can’t remember how, or where, I came to that conclusion. I’ve just had a read through BCW and they make no mention of it.
-
You should, before they become unaffordable…they’ve absolutely sky-rocketed in the last 10 years.
-
Not the best macro shots from my phone, but a doable portrait…for me at least
-
Brilliant! A relief to find them with different dies. Many thanks for that…that really is a cracking little 6d of yours! Would take some beating, even with a common mark!
-
Nice little win of a superb sixpence. Weak portrait but, to be fair, exaggerated in these auction images…actually much better in-hand…will try and post another image soon. I did try to look out the images of your 1573 @Rob because it worried me a little bit to find another little-worn acorn coin, but I couldn’t find them to compare the dies.
-
No, they were actually washers
-
Just to clarify, I wasn’t proposing it was the force of one coin falling against the other. I do know we did some strange things with coins as kids, with just a couple of things springing to mind, such as opening modelling paint tins, making cross-pistol mechanisms from old penny pieces and, maybe relevant to this situation, we used to squeeze chunky washers edge-to-edge in a vice until they’d finally fly off like a game of buckaroo!
