Confused as to who is saying what!

From Tony Clayton's site:

This is a known error and can fetch a few hundred

New acquisition, Somerset Bath Alfred The Great Halfpenny Conder token Edge: Payne & Turner Silversmiths Bath

Neither? No, they do not look deep ... what else could they be? What Seuk suggests?

Yes, they would scrape off silver until the correct weight was achieved, quite common on early milled

OK so this is milled, but I'm still sticking it in the hammered section! I've always believed the lines on the obverse to be adjustment lines, but some have suggested that it's likely that they are in fact lines to deface the king's portrait made by an anti-royalist. What do people think?

I'm about to post a question about one of mine in the Hammered section

Don't forget the milled issues of Charles I too ...

Quite ... extremely lazy/gullible/ignorant in this instance I'd say!

Blimey that 'Bait and Switch' complaint is grim reading! Hope the guy got his money back, but surprised he went ahead with the deal in the first place!

Just to ring the changes, an 1897 Diamond Jubilee Medal

Can anyone suggest what may be going on with the E of GEOR in this one?

Quite agree with you Mick, why have a 1-100 range when they only use 28 of them anyways?

My DNW wins arrived today so they are pretty quick

Well done Mick, you're firmly on the right track now Glad you got hold of a 1951 proof set

See what you've done @PWA 1967

Dirty great boulder between the O and the N

Really Awful Numismatic Goods No, it's just Pete's abbreviation of his favourite phrase for crap, 'Rang Tang' !

More chances of bargains with BINs, because if you spot them the moment they are listed you can grab them there and then of course ... but Scott's right, if you can be bothered putting in the time you will still find good coins at low prices in auctions too, maybe through listing errors, poor pics, mis-attribution, and so on I can't be bothered trawling though them all any more, I look at newly listed early milled and hammered once or twice a week, knowing I will miss some and occasionally get lucky

I agree with both of those points, although the photography may still be thwarting an entirely valid comparison

Yes, I didn't mean clean in that sense!

A very clean example, unusually with no toning - maybe taken out of the box soon after purchase?

Way out of my comfort zone, but in the course of re-photographing my collection I am reminded that I have this I know what I think it is, but can someone properly ID it for me? Not a great rarity I'm fairly sure, but thanks for any help
