    Yes, it will never richly tone again, at least not in our lifetime! It may go brown like a piece of old copper pipe, one day, if you're lucky? Highly polished surfaces need micro-corroding, for want of a better word, to hold a nice patina. It's virtually impossible to reverse a polished surface for toning! As everyone has said, get rid and start again, it really isn't worth faffing around with it, honestly!

    I think the point about a low valuation on the 6d is that there are so many top grade coins available, and this will definitely chuck an example like yours into a dealers bargain bin at a fair. I really don't mean that disrespectfully, as all coins mean something to someone (and God knows I love them all), especially within the context of a collection. Bullion value is harsh, though, I do agree!

    I would've expected this kind of price, to be honest. Will be interesting to see what it realises!

    Just a nice quality 'low-tide' penny. Here's one I sold last year http://george-coins.co.uk/UNCAU-Edward-VII-LOW-TIDE-1902-Penny-P3139016.aspx I also recognise that spot on the reverse...I think I've had that one too! I must look!

    The seller also states 'troubled times' as a rationale for the 'over strike'? It's my memory that the tun predates the civil war by some years!

    Nest!

    Yes, the words 'cuckoo, one, over, flew, the' springs to mind!

    Colour of the coin? Edit: sorry, to expand...I mean that the colur and tones of the picture look about right, on account of the skin colour! So I'm thinking the coin must be more or less the colour shown in the images?
  9. Coinery
    yes, thank-you, Paul! Not tooled, just a blocked tun I'd say! Any thoughts on the colour?
  10. Coinery
    What a 24 carat...how can research uncover such a nonsense that has Charles over Elizabeth! Interesting colour, given that the skin colour is normalish?
  11. Coinery
    Doh! Makes sense, now! I thought an Elizabeth I groat was a low stab at the numismatic bag!
  12. Coinery
    VF isn't a really difficult grade for an E1 groat, either! Certainly not in the context of the sort of coins Nicholas generally buys.
  13. Coinery
    I can't recall ever seeing an ex-mount groat?That seems a lowly dream coin for your usual quality taste in coins? Most of them have been gilded or mounted in the past. VF is a high enough aspiration.Why would most of them be guilded or mounted? It's certainly not what I'm seeing.I could understand it if it were 6ds, as these have clearly been holed and presumeably worn by later generations. And pennies, of course, for guilding!

    Reading some posts on this forum while chewing on your dinner can prove to be a choking hazard You can always rely on Peter for a bit of off-topic entertainment! I think he should be a panellist on that brand new TV series 'Shock Factor'!

    Very nice, Bagerap! Ain't we just login' this forum!
  20. Coinery
    What? Are you saying they wouldn't even eat humble pie over a date error? Unbelievable! I've guess I've just been lucky?
  21. Coinery
    How did I know this coin was going to be a wreath or a Northumberland?

    This is a point which crossed my mind, as you would definitely need a courier, now the PO offer of overseas insurance is massively reduced.
  23. Coinery
    Wow, good for you, Garrett! I totally agree with all you say! What a considerate man!
  24. Coinery
    Unless I'm missing something here, we are talking in 10's not hundreds for your coin? A nice historical entry into coins, though!
  25. Coinery
    Thanks, chaps! Anything really high-grade and nice with the farthings, Colin?
