Well I had a toss up between the Gouby X and another coin that's finishing around the same time, they should finish around the same price, but if people know about the Gouby X on here then I'll pass haha I still want an unattributed one anyway!
Post mint! I have a couple of those. Not exactly sure how it's done though. REDD - love that brockage, looks great. I sold mine last year and regret it, but I paid £100 on eBay and sold it to someone in Japan for £350, I couldn't say no at the time. It did get me a few extra dates in my date run though!
This arrived yesterday too, with a whopping split through the whole planchet. Would this be a die crack, split planchet, split die, lamination error? I can't find any information about when the crack is on both sides of the coin..
Always good when that happens. After a while you start to get an idea of what coins actually look like based on the type of picture that's there, when I started out I thought all scanned coins were no-gos because I though they were pictures and that they look rubbish! Leaps and bounds eh? haha
Just need some second opinons. It looks OK, but I don't know how it could have come about and it's also strange to have similar things on both sides (which indicates to me that it's been in a vice maybe) Anyway, here are some pics, any help is appreciated as always.
Gotcha, I can see what you mean about the blurred edges too. I have to admit, while the microscope I've got is good for detail, it's not the best for taking 'eye-appealing' pictures with it's bright white light attached.
