    Why you should never attempt to grade hammered coins! Here's a "BOLD VF" from Baldwin's! http://www.baldwin.co.uk/coins/great-britain/hammered-british/richard-ii-penny-york-rare-in-vf.html?usrc=1

    Wow, good on ya, Stuntman! Never ever begrudged a man the trappings, even from the perspective of being skint! This is the one of the wonderful insights that pastimes like this brings, where people of all walks of life can meet at a common point! History and coins are a pretty good meeting place for Caymans and £1k Hyundais! Brilliant! Love coins!

    Hah, ha, yes, never getting anywhere fast, that's very much me! ? I always fancied an Alpha, but would probably go for a sporty Jag if I had the money! If! O' if! We're hammering a Hyundai Getz into the ground at the minute, so who am I to comment on prestige cars?
  4. Coinery
    Oh, good, glad you were late to the party! Happy birthday from someone who was even later! Fashionably late, of course!
  5. Coinery
    Yes, I can see that now, too! ? An inverted 6 corrected in error by an inverted 6! Love coins!
  6. Coinery
    I'd say 9/9 too, Debbie!

    Take it easy out there, Mr S. Time for a wee nip of something to help you sleep!

    Lovely tribute, Peter, you're a great man! Stay safe out there, m'friend! I for one would love to see some pictures of Mrs Peter on this thread. You can never have too much of a good thing on a coin forum!
  9. Coinery
    Oh, fuck, Peter, so, SO, sorry to hear that, m'friend! So very sorry! Fucking, 'ell, mate...so thinking of you right now! Aw, mate!

    Hi Jason, We don't have a large community of Roman collectors on here, and I do know at least one of them to be inactive at the moment. Hopefully someone will come along with some information for you? Didn't want you to feel ignored!

    With specific regard to the distinction between UNC and a/UNC, you'd really have to say that UNC is UNC, but a/UNC is better than GEF but not quite going the full 9 yards to UNC

    That's rather cognitively advanced Mr P, I'm backing that horse!

    What's the misprint on your 2014?
  14. Coinery
    Maybe Pepsi?
  15. Coinery
    No 5p for me yet but a million 2014s! Maybe 2015 5ps will be the rare ones, in view of the 2014 glut?
  16. Coinery
    Aren't all the 2015 coins bearing the new effigy, I'm definitely missing out if both effigies are on the 2015 coins? I haven't actually checked the busts, but have been salting away any and all new 2015 coins in collectable condition, as I did for 2014 and 2013! A fractionally more sensible loose change "pot" akin to the one everybody else has stored in a bells whiskey bottles!

    Here's an example on a halfpenny, where you can see the flukes of the anchor (and of course the eyelet within the Cepher) to the right of the Cepher. If it wasn't for the extreme positioning of the anchor PM, you could be forgiven for thinking that the Portcullis was a double-strike, which it's not.
  20. Coinery
    Not a pirate at all...extremely relevant! I totally agree with your rationale on this. If it was an overstruck coin, there would be more evidence of the underlying coin showing in other areas IMO. I truly hope to find a 2nd example of TYPE 30l, as this is a particularly extreme example. This would set your proposals in stone for good.
  21. Coinery
    To clarify! A second example would conclusively prove a poorly ground down stock! The absence of any other example would suggest it was another coin re-entered into the dies!
  22. Coinery
    Didn't think it was, but, for some reason, I'm not buying a reverse die struck underneath. Do we know of any better images of such a phenomenon? Deja vous for me here, and what a terribly written post of mine! It's all up in the air, but a second example would prove Rob's proposal, and no other would suggest mine?Nothing boring in the Plantagenet series!
  23. Coinery
    Many thanks for your extremely generous effort on this! The top coin is a known variety, and the second is the same variety as mine! I'll look at it on the PC tomorrow, but it looks to be most definitely a different die? Brilliant stuff, Mr Knipe! Are you going to share your contact with me?
  24. Coinery
    Could never be ghosting though, Clive, as the devices are all as per normal strike!
