Strange , that the die in question cannot be found in older sales of the 1763 Shilling
yet same seller of the £2395 1763 now has another at £1400 and a USA seller has
a much worse looking one at £1256
Photo one is of the one already discussed and still up for sale £2395
Photo two is the new one same seller has £1400
Photo three is the USA one at £1256

Seems sellers has moved into coins, on completed items , he listed your sixpence 3 times
on the same day ( sold once ) also a Henry groat ( not sold ) and another similar Milled
Elizabeth Sixpence listed 2 times ( sold once ) . Wonder what the buyer of that one got ?

Last one I had was September 2014 , there was a notice I think before December
saying if a printed catalogue was required it must be ordered and paid for .Before
that they were freebees for many years past

What are thoughts on this .. would it pass as EF ...
Is the damage done at the Mint or after striking
There are raised dross marks especially in the Reverse marks
which makes me think towards Mint damage ?

Thanks Rob, Ive never noticed after 50 years into Coins, but found out when I weighed
a silver colour penny that I was hoping was not plated ! , then found it was far lighter
than 2 old halfpennies , so I googled weights....
-
Never took much notice, but 10 old farthings weigh 1 ounce
and 5 old half pennies weigh 1 ounce
BUT 3 old pennies weigh 1 ounce
All the old silver coins mulitiply up as expected
Why is the PENNY the odd man out ??
I never knew this !!

One of the strange looking 1763 Shillings is now in the next DNW sale
with the strange lettering , double striking on the portrait of the king
and the strange drapery . Amazing none from these dies appear to have
been seen until these two that were discussed turned up
-
Thought they didn't grade " damaged " Coins
Last two similar 1930's through DNW were GEF £400 and Virtually as struck £350
I would have thought you would be lucky to get 25% to 35% of that asking price from a Dealer ?
-
Good idea of " Robs " because the fakers do seem to mess up on the edges
( Note- the Gothic Crown letters ) Shame virtually no one ever seems to photo
Coin edges when selling coins , suppose its quite difficult to do .

The Drapery
1, The Ebay coin
2, The known Genuine Coin
3, The second Ebay Coin

It seems these days the authorities are just not interested, like they seemed
to be in the 1970's when the fake gold £5 pieces flooded the market from
Beirut in the Lebanon and UK Coins Dealers were bringing them and other
fakes in ,in tubes of 25 . Several top Dealers at the time insisted they were
Genuine, and one I knew was about in tears when a dozen or so were seized
from him. Quite a few Dealers when down for selling them , but now even some
of the largest Auction houses sell them ( as fakes ) so is the law now changed ?
-
I think the answer will come if more from this strange die work turn up ,
they certainly look very doubtful to me and if they are wrong, its quite
certain more will show up. Some say the 1763 fakes are casts , which
I very much doubt as the Chinese are doing lots of Die struck fakes
and thinking if a coin is Die struck its okay and genuine is a very
dangerous path to tread, as its caught out many in the past . Things
are getting serious in the fake market and my feelings are the BNTA
are side stepping the issues by keeping it secret . It doesnt matter how
ethical and respectable a dealer is, they can get caught out just like
Baldwins and DNW were with the first 1763 Shillings that hit the market.
-
Interesting that " jelida " saw that. I think same dies but not the same coin.
Ive been watching these since I got caught with one, and looked at many
dozens of photos, and never seen these dies, so very very strange and it
will be interesting if more show up !
Heres a Genuine nice one...note the lettering and especially the
drapery under the Kings chin
-
Note the strange double nose and formation of the lettering "E" falling apart etc
