Confirmation of Dies Please
Mr T replied to Kipster's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Ah yeah I checked Mal Lewendon's photos and he notes a reverse G with no rocks, but doesn't give much more detail than that I think. -
Looking forward to hearing what comes of it.
-
Same here in Australia - some reporter sees something on TikTok or the like and runs yet another story on the same coin that they ran a couple of years back.

Confirmation of Dies Please
Mr T replied to Kipster's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Hm is it die fill? I dug up some pictures of reverse G and it looks like the rocks can be quite weak. -

Reverse G is 1861 to 1873 - I think there's a small rock but I guess it's the "no rocks" reverse? -
Okay I finally got around to doing it and it looks like the 7 at denticle is a normal 1887 sixpence, besides the date difference. It has 119 rim denticles like Davies 1160 and the leaves and berries all appear the same to me.
-
The 1837 mule sixpence is one that's missing from Davies, but the coverage in Davies is generally better.

Predecimal halfpenny trial?
-
Yes coin collecting has seen a rise in my opinion but for the decimal stuff more so.

I'm surprised it wasn't at the time (or maybe it was - I can't remember when I started subscribing).
-
Hm, working now. The noses do look a bit different for sure.

Are those links not loading for anyone else at the moment?

Royal Mint Holding Auctions Asking For Consignments?
Mr T replied to VickySilver's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Interesting, I remember seeing a 1966 Australian specimen set offered for sale and it was reportedly from the Pretoria Mint collection - no other details though. -
Ah yes, just the one obverse for the wreath sixpence in 1887 which I guess will be I of BRITT to gap.

Halfpenny ID check
Mr T replied to mrbadexample's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Not sure - maybe the Royal Mint annual reports (now on their website and searchable) give some figures? -
I don't have many proofs but I think I have most of them in flips. I haven't checked them lately though.
-
Surely if it was an intentional fabrication there would be more out there and someone would be cashing.
-
Ah thanks - and which obverse is it?

Royal Mint Holding Auctions Asking For Consignments?
Mr T replied to VickySilver's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
What year was that? The Royal Australian Mint sold off a bunch of its collection (1987 or so onwards) including some rare patterns. Bit of a shame I thought, even if it was good that a few things saw the light of day. -
"onc" tenth florins
Mr T replied to david.bordeaux's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Trick of the light but the c and e look different - like the top bar is shorter on the c. -
Recommended website/reading?
Mr T replied to Kipster's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Freeman is the only place I know of for bronze farthings. -
Do you have pictures of the coin in its entirety?
-
No, this is the first I've heard of this and while I don't collect decimals myself, I do keep an eye on this forum.
-
Freeman 5 is Peck 4 for farthings (and Freeman 6 is Peck 5 - the three berries obverse).

1911 1/2d A+b unlisted by Freeman
Mr T replied to Gary D's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Yeah no mix-ups on the 1925 by the looks of it.
