    I know it's not a popular statement, but I'm still not sure what to think of the early-milled grading on CC, which, to be fair, is the only area I looked at around 5 years ago when I was trying to compile my own grading reference. That's me now cast into the eternal fires of the numismatic furnace! ?

    I'm liking the beginnings of your cataloging...so much better than my organisation in the early days! I'm still not THAT organised with it even now!

    Yarp! Welcome aboard an' all! It's a pit stop you'll be in a long time! Enjoy the ride!

    Colin, from About Farthings is a regular contributor on here, I'm sure his insight will clear everything up! If he offered a valuation, I'd insure it for that! The clock is ticking now! 16:44, how long will it take the ole fella?

    I'm always staggered at the wealth of info. on here! Another VS special!

    quickly done, but you get the idea! I reckon a lot of the varieties could be identified so much easier by field identification. This is really rushed from low res images, but I think it's got some good potential in a book, a new way of simplifying things! Always happy to do any serious design work for a good cause!

    This is another classic example of something I spoke about ages ago! And that is looking at field shapes! If we try to see small differences in helmet and plume shapes, our brain gets confused, but IF we look at the shape of the little field enclosed in that region, it's altogether a different animal! Using the shape of the field is often far more decisive, I don't know why this hasn't been done before?

    This is just the best forum ever!

    Bloody hell, have we lost him for another year?

    I prefer these big old pennies to the bronze issues! Nice coin!

    I fully take on your point and wasn't suggesting that decimals are the way for dealers (eBay hobbyist dealers - maybe) to go, but was simply trying to make the point that just because decimal werent seen as true coins by some collectors doesn't make them any less valid as a collectible.I've bought a lot of decimals from this very site, Rich! I've even decided on my two 2015 keepers out of a pile of 2ps and 5ps! Always a collector!

    Hey Garoyn, welcome to the madhouse, the coin forum for the numismatically insane!
  13. Coinery
    Put me down for a Class 10cf5 penny!

    Peter, just read your post! What a shocker of a toned list that is, TG! Satisfying to see by the bidding that they aren't appreciated by anyone else either. Pete, I think it was something to do with 'something' and heat (oven possibly)? I can't remember now, though have read about it in the past. Never stuck in my mind as useful for anything, surprisingly!

    It'll be a penny, then!

    Thank goodness you asked, Charlie, that's an appalling example. I'm amazed you could live with the rims on that, it's my greatest issue. I personally really struggle with even the lightest nicks on edges.
  17. Coinery
    Agree with the above! Incidentally, I noticed you signal as 'searching' in your screen shot! You're not with EE by any chance are you? We've had three weeks of atrocious service from them!

    Here's crown 15... ...but I think that's about it without a bit more info., palves!
  19. Coinery
    Maybe a halfpenny, it's got a HyB obverse? Could do with a weight and/or size, really? When I first saw it my initial thoughts were class 15 crown, because of the two left-leaning ornaments? It's just missing that second R in the legend though? I think size and weight are needed, to be honest!
  20. Coinery
    A shame, as it was the most powerful post war documentary I've watched!
  21. Coinery
    Shocking! However, I'm intrigued to know how it is you know Bill?
  22. Coinery
    Pre-strike, of course! So the flan, rather than the coin.
  23. Coinery
    Let's not have him enjoy the break too much! We'll never get him back once the S&M gets started!
  24. Coinery
    Give him back, Mark!
  25. Coinery
    That seals it then, Jag! They seem reasonably up front on the proxy system!Congrats on the wins!
