Right then, if I'm getting the hang of it, this https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxBRenK8v0n-RFpzTjJLNE00QWs/view?usp=sharing is obverse 2, and this https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxBRenK8v0n-OURSY051c0lJU0U/view?usp=sharing is obverse 3. Both 1861. Seems the easiest way to differentiate between these two is the linear circle under the bust.

I can't argue - nothing else seems to make sense.

Thank you Colin. I had just about convinced myself that it was obverse three, but those pictures help, especially with the location of the berries.

Hi all, I'm trying to work out which obverse this farthing has, 2 or 3: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxBRenK8v0n-dHJMWktMMk1tbmc/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxBRenK8v0n-NmtSczMwbVNjeVk/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxBRenK8v0n-dzRxUzNlUnNta0k/view?usp=sharing Referring to Freeman's bronze coinage isn't quite as easy as I'd hoped. I'm sure I'll be ok once I've got my eye in and I know what I'm looking for, but at the moment I'm struggling a bit. Especially with specimens that aren't in the highest grade. Hopefully the photos will give enough detail for someone to be certain. I think I know which it is but would like verification please. Cheers, MBE

*cough* That's a VERY thin coin.

Yes, they meet up. I'll see if I can get some kind of shot of the edge.

Is this 1947 penny of any interest?

Hopefully this will link to some better photos: https://photos.google.com/album/AF1QipOeTuMiwcDLbv3q8YGwwPmVahlrK4nQq0HsLALL

Well to be fair, I've never seen one like that before so it must be rare. And I'm willing to bet you haven't got one!

I won9'mt be able to typ7e muc8hn t8hnis weekend because I9'mve 7gbot all excited about t8hne 6 Nations and sp7illed c8hnamp7a7gbne on my keyboard. :(

I don't even understand why it's being sold. I'd take one look at that auction and automatically disregard every other item the seller has. Even if it is some kind of Polish pharmaceutical product.

Or you need a new button for your donkey jacket.

I'd need to know if they were contemporary or a later addition. Makes this nice grade coin look not so bad after all. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1918KN-GEORGE-V-BRITISH-PENNY-COIN-NICE-GRADE-SCARCE-/161953571211?hash=item25b52f618b:g:8UIAAOxyZzlTdUmX

Just put them on the table to take the photo, that'll be fine. But spacing rings...now you're talking!

Yup. That. Where's the dislike button?

That's a great job. Even looks to have aligned the screw heads too which shows it's a proper job. Although I prefer them horizontal myself.

And Gary, that is one lovely bit of kit. I covet it. Nice to hear that Peter will make / modify to your specifications.

This! This bothers me - it's not right and gets on my OCD nerves! ?

It's the eternal dilemma - more coins or something to put them in. ? By the way, I have been admiring your rapid work so far - some very nice half crowns you've got there. ?

That's not as easy as you make it sound. Internal diameter 20mm has an outside diameter of 26mm. Although I'm being a bit of a pedant - your point is that there would be some sort of acceptable workaround. Having said that, I can't see any spec on the depth of a capsule, and the drawers have a 6mm capacity which I suspect may not be deep enough.

Errr...not entirely. As in I haven't really got any. The trays are on top of the bookcase.

I didn't think the green from a PCV wallet or album was the same as verdigris? I thought it was due to the chlorine leaching out from the PVC over a number of years?
