    Thought as much. Can you still see who won it through a flaw on the iPad (if I remember correctly you saying something like that)?

    About a year ago I bought one that could have been a rarer variety, I think the seller cottoned on to it and they 'couldn't find it anywhere' after I'd bought it. Funnily enough they messaged me back about 2 months later to say they'd found it, the funny thing was that it had somehow worked it's way into a slab while being lost. I guess they sent it off to check for varieties and when it came back as bog standard they offered it back to me.

    That was about the WORLD ending post, didn't see your last one about the bank notes. That's a kick in the b******* though

    Lol obviously, this is MP we're talking about
  7. Nordle11
    LOL what? I always watch the seldom seen coins for prices realised, or to bid if it's a good price. I only bid on the MP one on the off chance that his shiller had internet problems as the auction ended

    Was watching a nice looking 1919kn on eBay a few weeks a go, which ended up at £311 (Link), that then turned up here with the usual private listing format, I was winning at about £200 until the last second of course. So it "sold" for £218, I've just been waiting for the 'second chance offer' but not holding my breath

    Tethered shooting is good (and makes you feel like a pro while doing it ) but really depends on your preference. When I take pictures there's no need to have the image on the computer because the viewfinder is good enough for me, also moving files across to the computer is nice and quick. Just saves buying an extra bit of kit really, but can definitely be beneficial, especially if you're taking 20+ pictures all in one go.

    Do CGS reject for field damage even when the damage is from the mint? Like a lamination error or a dodgy planchet.

    Thanks for that little lesson in light diffusion, that was very informative

    Personally I think that's much better. Also a cracking coin

    Too true

    I don't even know that they have central heating here, I certainly don't haha. Should've read 50W, not 500W I'm not up to spec on my light bulb wattage but basically get a yellow one
  15. Nordle11
    Definitely right there Nick, such a difficult task capturing the true lustre. I don't know if you already have, Paul, but take a look at the different lighting colours for different metals. I find white lights work amazingly with silver bits and lights with a slightly yellow tinge work much better for copper/bronze. For example, first picture was using an 7W LED white light and the second using a regular 500w(?) house light bulb. The setup and location was the same, just the lights were changed, lots of difference. Both coins are practically the same in terms of lustre. You can see the juxtaposition just from the background which is just a thick white piece of card. Grey in one picture and brown in the other, neither of which is the actual colour

    Nice little memento, I wouldn't mind having an example used in the books either.
  17. Nordle11
    Thanks for sharing the results!

    Did you screenshot those from your ZX Spectrum?

    For the majority of coins it's going to be a case of the condition that they're in, so if the condition is similar to the penny then probably not worth much. Although the 1917 threepence will have an intrinsic value due to it's silver content (.925), but only a few pounds, if that. The 1948 farthings are ten a penny, only a few quid tops and it would have to be in excellent condition even to fetch that.

    Hi Hazel, Unfortunately it's not worth anything, it's a bit too closer to looking like a washer than a coin! Nothing rare about this date which would be the only thing to give it any value when a coin is that worn. There is a variety for this year that less than 10 examples are known for, but this is just the normal variety.. Hope it helps.

    I don't think it's possible to remove carbon spots..

    We were in Finland last month and headed into Helsinki for a look around, went around a corner only to see them coming out of their hotel.
  23. Nordle11
    Yes, Dave's spot on in that it's a defective planchet. Imperfections in the metal will do that, among other things. Also if you bought it from a dealer you shouldn't be concerned that they might not take it back, 99% will. If they don't then it's probably not a good person to do business with.
  24. Nordle11
    Did you spot Brian's post above? He's right, there are actually a lot of decimal folders out there, although I have to admit I haven't seen one for 1/2 pennies, but they were only around for just over a decade after decimalisation..
  25. Nordle11
    Good job Pete, now please stop buying all the pennies or I'll have to switch to farthings
