I’d messaged him too, referring him to your ‘Coin News’ article. Jerry

It really depends on the spec of your computer, try the lower version first I would suggest, it’ll be more than powerful enough. Jerry

I too have used Irfanview for years. Does what it says on the tin. Jerry

Well, I have reported it on the basis of copyright infringement, using stolen pictures to create a probably fake listing. I think we know what the AI algorithm will make of that 🤡 Jerry

I confess to being a bit wary of this penny auction - seller with zero feedback, no other items for sale and (inadequate) pics stolen from an LCA auction in 2014. I wouldn’t rush to bid without a few pertinent questions. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156281483806?itmmeta=01J1Q8K7PY07FTH265S3P1ND26&hash=item24631a321e:g:IPwAAOSwCANmfAfm&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4Bb%2FP90iZbtecuNLB3pCiX2CaiD%2BqKi0as%2BOzZGIu9bjcXMHKg%2FWFujkWyTqsZWs9D3FRS0B0f%2B0gGBPDOD%2BpuddoFkilcmGJGiV7%2FJCg52WY%2F0RXMd4dM7t8cuH8Upfb67jeBi9rwbBndjcj25fPsvrcfkAjT%2FHNrLJI2ZVXiMAqqYOJw0FtNkwHks6A0%2BgEQv88pNP4mulgjBy0R4ZxzEL4KYdvSAqNxG55UpSavSHk08ZxO%2BrC3xrNv6%2F40ipJEDJQ1iaefX5%2BL2qwZB4QcYCXj5OuIk2ihDfaC8kMrqe|tkp%3ABk9SR9b7zOiNZA Jerry

I have four, the best being aef sold as F6 at Lockdales a few years ago (£180). Jerry

Yes, I was watching that. Nice coin, but as I already had two I thought I wouldn’t be too greedy! Did you bid? Jerry

Well this is a masterpiece of bullshit to misrepresent a common polished coin as desirable! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266817921795?itmmeta=01HY5RM384CB3M8QYD8TFJ8EZC&hash=item3e1f966303:g:P9QAAOSwBp9mSGzh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4CND%2BLOUuRITYzdUUVsKmNc8RNgC4PXfp3v24lsBSRZPvhF%2FlAz9v3Hx8dlAY3P%2FXPItNKItc0IHJMuAWgA3rFMU%2Bj0Egb2wTDf9qrj5Jd9yi20pR6JGgXgrbj2UIP2ILr8jbRqFzWbi1wQN3SPga16Npbq61gUrWBFe6OUo%2F0mPfezB8k3PIj3wqumm8BA370XDjxudlz1CXQU4Wxmqir%2Bs0vV3Xm4A3WX4LlKaz0EcyhsmGLcee2wPFaeRHq9w3Qy6GlTZ39CpnMjZNAlVJ86g9u%2FaAfQZOJdqAQu9oKCe|tkp%3ABk9SR6S00LjxYw Jerry

Bah! Underbidder twice. Crazy prices! As for the ‘MS65’1827 penny, my AU55 at less than £1800 is prettier , at least by the photos. Jerry

Nothing here. ☹️. Perhaps unsurprisingly . Idiot or fraudster? Likely both in this case. Jerry

Likewise.

No idea! No pictures in the NGC registry, but there are 307 higher graded examples! It’s not really a very helpful label. Jerry

That will be KAROLVS, ie Charlemagne, the obverse following the Roman style. Jerry

Martin Allen has now recorded the coin and all is explained! https://emc.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/full-record/20240117?&0=10540980&1=10540981&2=10540982&3=10540983&4=10540984&5=10540985&6=10540986&7=10540987&8=10540988&9=10540989&10=10540990&11=10540991&12=10540992&13=10540993&14=10540994&15=10540995&16=10540996&17=10540997&18=10540998&19=10540999&20=10541000&21=10541001&22=10541002&23=10541003&24=10541004&25=10541005&26=10541006&27=10541007&28=10541008&29=10541009&30=10541010&31=10541011&32=10541012&33=10541013&34=10541014&35=10541015&36=10541016&37=10663673&38=10663674&39=10663675&40=10663676&41=19870154&42=19880184&43=19930227&44=19940222&45=19950173&46=19950174&47=19970154&48=20000052&49=20010662&50=20060124&51=20070062&52=20100263&53=20120085&54=20130102&55=20130350&56=20150295&57=20170052&58=20180144&59=20180289&60=20200413&61=20210408&62=20220008&63=20230112&64=20240117 Jerry

AESTAN worked at Winchester and Warwick in the time of Edward the Confessor according to the EMC, but I can’t see either of those in the mint name. Jerry
