The Elusive 2002 Jamaica Proof Set Remains So
Mr T replied to VickySilver's topic in Enquiries about Non British coins
Yeah, some "modern junk" is surprisingly hard to acquire. -

Rarity. -
Augsburg Thaler 1641 - just because I like it!
Mr T replied to Paddy's topic in Enquiries about Non British coins
Some of those portraits are quite exagerated! -

Mr T replied to VickySilver's topic in Enquiries about Non British coins
I guess they advertised anywhere they could but I source quite a few "modern junk" coins (Fiji, Cook Islands, Solomon Islands) from central and Eastern Europe for whatever reason. -
NEW UNLISTED VARIETY of 1873 HALF-PENNY
Mr T replied to Bronze & Copper Collector's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
How long ago was the C# reverse discovered? It was mentioned in 2004 but possibly discovered before then? -

I found that post: http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/3664-coin-aquisition-of-the-week/?page=502&tab=comments#comment-141727 Looking at it, the rim is slightly recessed - is that not a reliable indicator for reverse C#? -
NEW UNLISTED VARIETY of 1873 HALF-PENNY
Mr T replied to Bronze & Copper Collector's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
@Bronze & Copper Collector do you have those images handy? I hadn't heard of this until now. And just confirming that the C# can be spotted by a flat shield rim while the other reverses used in 1873 all have recessed shield rims? -
NEW UNLISTED VARIETY of 1873 HALF-PENNY
Mr T replied to Bronze & Copper Collector's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
Yep looks like it - the parallel lighthouse sides are there. Couldn't quite make out the obverse but it's still a rare reverse. -
I would echo the above sentiments about buying a book before anything else. If you're going to sell as well I'd be checking my change for anything worth selling as it seems like some of the low mintage commemoratives can got for a bit over face value. I use a spreadsheet to track my coins - it's not perfect but it does the job.
-
Interesting indeed. I'm surprised there's so much at stake here for what are child's play - I know toys can go for crazy prices but having millions of dollars worth of trading cards?
-
Not sure what is going on but if I try and post a link to http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/13797-1951-crown-type-i-and-type-ii-reverse/ in http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/13884-pattern-1951-crown-what-do-you-see/ I get a 403 error page. Edit, okay I think it only fails if I don't disable the inline preview, posting the link itself works okay.
-
Disabling the preview just makes it a plain old link but inline preview makes it look like a quote box with some other details I think.
-
Where was it published? British Numismatic Journal?
-
A lot of it was outsourced to Watt and Heaton.

Has anyone looked much at the London and Perth half sovereigns of 1904? Marsh says that both exist with and without the BP, but as far as I can see all the Perth coins have no BP, and Marsh is wrong when he says the London no BP is the more common coin.
-
I read recently the request came in 1951 as well.

Halfpenny ID check
Mr T replied to mrbadexample's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
You might be on to something, though I think obverse 11 and 12 are probably the same more of less - I looked for any appreciable difference that wasn't a comparative and all I could notice was that some coins had the R of BRITT pointing below the serif of the I and some had it in line. Both types could be seen on coins that were supposed to be both 11 and 12. -
The latest edition of the The Gold Sovereign is out - looks like there is free postage for a short amount of time as well.
-
Yeah, doesn't look right at all.
-
I remember reading that though maybe it was brother that rejected the offer? I've noted to myself that the first stroke of the N in ONE helps with the 1909 penny.

Any opinions on http://numismatics.org/collection/1980.109.1037 and http://numismatics.org/collection/1947.129.1? The first one looks like it has the wrong sort of wear and I think is fake. The second one looks okay but according to the notes is a hollowed out container, though it looks like a real coin was used.
-
possibly fake gold coins
Mr T replied to Mr T's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Sorry for the late response - thank you, very helpful. -
I was flicking through my Davies and it looks like the threepence dies used for George V Maundy sets is incomplete (it starts with 3C for 1920). Anyone know what was used for 1911 to 1919? I know I can look (it looks like 1911 is 1A: https://maundy.co.uk/catalogue/product-details.aspx?id=nPLwqfwFJrE%3D; 1919 looks like 1B: https://www.londoncoins.co.uk/?page=Pastresults&auc=168&searchlot=2237&searchtype=2) but just in case anyone has already looked and figured it out.

George V Maundy threepences
Mr T replied to Mr T's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Ah right you are - I got my die attributes in Davies mixed up.
