    It's been done, so shout if you still get the old quotes/posts coming up in the reply box. Mine seems to be fine right now.

    A nice coin Peter, and like Paulus says a really good price! And there I was thinking you hated us penny boys
  3. Nordle11
    Pipped to the post good link Mike

    I don't think the chances are very high Ian, as far as I know the only known one is sitting in the British museum. There is a picture lurking somewhere I'm sure I've seen it, if I find it I'll post back here for you.

    I'm leaning toward a combo of Jerry's and Ian's thoughts, it has such likeness to the shape of having tape across it while the rest of it has been exposed to something.

    Welcome to the dark-side But seriously that's a great coin AND an equally great photo, especially through a slab!
  7. Nordle11
    Whoops That should of course be 22mm.
  8. Nordle11
    Definitely great advice from Matteo, it should weigh 7.98 grams and have a diameter of 22m. Depends how good your scales are of course!
  9. Nordle11
    Yes that works. One question - does the strip across the reverse match directly to the 2 'squares' on the reverse, so you could follow the outer lines and they meet up? I don't think there is any example of a lamination flaw with such perfect shapes, but how it was done is the real question.

    Doesn't work for me? Possible filled die for the 1947? Strange tail end on the 9 though, maybe PMD.
  11. Nordle11
    Now it works very nice coins, especially good detail on the crosslet 4.
  12. Nordle11
    That's a cracking coin Jerry, and if any of the ones Pete has sent me compared to the CGS pictures are anything to go by, it must be a beauty in hand!

    Don't forget that the difference between grades for this type of year can mean a big chunk of money. But if you're looking for another sale, there's one coming up in March at LCA; 3rd from the bottom NEF/EF (as graded by them) so a bit better than yours, but it gives you an idea at least.
  14. Nordle11
    Don't forget you can always buy them and crack them out, the CGS ones are especially easy to open up
  15. Nordle11
    Yup, just like we said
  16. Nordle11
    Had the same problem when I bought a broadstruck error, ended up buying a set of 10 larger lighthouse capsules just to accommodate the one coin!
  17. Nordle11
    Oh wow I pictured them being much smaller than that! It's good to see one in action, looks great!
  18. Nordle11
    Having a look at something now and seeing if Chris wants to do it, it's not a quick fix.
  19. Nordle11
    No I don't mean that they will be snug in the capsule, I just mean they won't fall out of the trays as easy because the capsule will hold them in place. More of a compromise than anything. Not sure on the depth either because on the most part they only list the depth in terms of the internal measurement, but they seem to go from about 4mm upwards.
  20. Nordle11
    You could always buy some lighthouse capsules that fit the 22mm tray holes, then the farthings can be housed in them. Everytime people start talking about Peter's cabinets though I get very tempted... VERY tempted.
  21. Nordle11
    Andonstar microscope. Cheap and does the job, cannot recommend it enough. Loads on eBay which is where I got mine.
  22. Nordle11
    Wouldn't hesitate to agree with that logic. Very strange to have such uniform shapes with lamination errors.
  23. Nordle11
    Indeed it is.
  24. Nordle11
    Not for me I'm afraid, wrong type of penny
  25. Nordle11
    Yes definitely a cud then, it's pretty common and can affect any coin. It's when part of the die breaks away and the metal flows directly into it when a coin gets struck. Usually on the rim of the die, otherwise it would normally be called a die chip.
