Do you have a pic Peter?

I think it was because of the ghosting problems they had, but not 100%. There might be something in the prologue of Freeman about it? I know they darkened some farthings because at the time people were trying to pass off the newly struck ones as half-sovereigns.

If you can tell me where anyone was discourteous I'm all ears, otherwise you came here for free advice and then didn't bother telling any of us who showed interest that you'd listed them, so yes, manners cost nothing. If you cannot take criticism, Paul, I suggest not logging on to any forum at all. Rest assured, you won't need to block my ID.

Where did you come from? Welcome to the forum, and thanks for linking Looks like they quoted @copper123

I'm sarcastic and I have one surgestion, but it's not "spend more money on a decent coin"

You're welcome Steve, here's the last lot you sent me. If it's so many though, it would probably be beneficial to do some reading up on each coin, you'll learn a great deal just researching them individually. Sorry I can't help with the identification, someone will have a better idea anyway

Pics in question:

A nice Christmas present for when you get back anyway. It does look like another S under there, but having it in hand will probably yield better results.

Looks like it's just double-punched, seems to follow the same curves. Can you take a close-up of just the S?

I'd agree with you there Brian, that it's a chip in the die. I wouldn't necessarily class it a variety in the sense of a design change, but as a curio that one can look out for, as you said.

What was the interesting thing about it?

If your website has good information on coins/coin collecting, post away, free information is more than welcome. However if it's just your site where you sell coins, probably best not to.

Just because it took you 3 seconds doesn't mean it's pointless Anyway, it took me 1 second to know it's not a mule so you're just wasting 2 seconds there. Which is kinda pointless.

Not exactly pointless if it can be used to confirm a variety

Makes sense, not sure if it's the sort of thing that you'd 'treat' as such or like you say just removed from the bad situation. yes, somebody help us please

Sorry, yes it's definitely really nice! The pitting doesn't detract too much, does it spread like verdigris or is it dormant like carbon spots?

I'd seen that one Mike but looks to be some pitting near the E in ONE. Can't really tell from pictures though would need to verify in hand.

I can't pass up the chance to show mine off Sorry 'bout the quality

No, sorry, he's right. You're insatiable

I really want to see this ancient golden horse cart he's always going on about, seems like it's the top prize.

Lovely coin Mick

A little bit too much glare for me, it's saturating the details of the coin so it's hard to ascertain a grade. I'd try bumping up to f11 and 1/125 or something near that to kill a little bit of the light, or move the LEDs around a bit and play with it to see how it comes out. The colour of your light might help too, I find the white hues bring out silver better. Looks like you might already have them though.. Have you seen Brandon's post on photographing coins? That helped me a lot.

@TomGoodheart has made the full transition to lurker

Oh I see, then just ignore me look forward to reading the write up Brian.

Why did you post it in 'ere then? Deserves a thread of it's own, surely!
