    Hhmm maybe AU 58 ....
  4. Nicholas started following Proof Wreaths (other than 1927)? Many are NOT!, Your grading opinions 1701 Halfcrown and Who pays cash for banknotes?

    Weak at centre on reverse else EF. Toning maybe unnatural

    Yes slightly stylised horse design - so reproduction I’d say (by AC?)
  7. Nicholas
    Yes, on closer inspection is that chatter in front of the kings moustache?

    🤔Just had a quick scan on heritage auctions searching GB Wreath Crowns - can’t find one circulation strike example with a struck up orb as I suspected. The proofs definitely better. NB this is just a rule of thumb guide!
  9. Nicholas
    with thanks! I’ve already sent Ian an email.

    Hi collector comrades! Does anyone know of a dealer who will buy banknotes? Im looking to sell my mostly Scottish banknotes collection to buy more coins! Nick

    A simple test (not 100% fool proof) is to look at the band around the orb - splitting the date - typically even the very best uncirculated circulation wreath crowns will not be fully struck up. The example shown is IMHO therefore is likely a proof specimen. Happy to be disproven - no probs

    Ok one more.. the fantastical world of Queen Anne...
  13. Nicholas
    Yes I thought so too - when Boulton and Watts got busy..

    Thanks Rob - so what year was the first large copper penny issued?
  15. Nicholas
    William III as Jupiter and James II as Phaeton - the Glorious Revolution Is this the first copper penny sized English coin? (OK it’s a medal..Eimer 312a)
