    Bramah lists it (10b) and describes it as rare. That big white circle is unusual though.

    From the home page it's Other, then Collections Paddy: http://www.colincooke.com/collections/ccc_williamiii.html

    Night and day...

    1. Bramah 12c - he says: "All the listed varieties are rare". 2. Agree with your die pairing. Nice pick up, Paddy.

    I like World of Coins too.

    I think I've had her.

    I would have remained blissfully unaware of his existence without the previous posts.

    No silly offers = any offer over £1 being silly, presumably.

    Too easily confused with Olympic boccia?
  10. mrbadexample
    Cool design though.
  11. mrbadexample
    That makes a good deal of sense, thank you.

    Hello again Colin. Hope the new business is doing well.

    So do you think it's just a lighter strike so the 6 wasn't fully punched? Otherwise I don't understand it - where did a "wiry" 6 punch come from?
  14. mrbadexample
    I'd like to know what a "wiry" 6 is? Where else is it used / seen?

    I got a fake £1 coin in change the other day. I said to the cashier "Excuse me love, this is a Euro".

    People have been wasting their money on shiny things for centuries. It's not a new thing. I actually think this is more honest than most of the recent Royal Mint junk. It doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't, unlike the mint "coins" that were never intended to be spent, in a multitude of different forms, all designed to deceive the collector as to their investment potential etc etc.

    I don't see why it bothers you. It's not even a coin, just a shiny gewgaw.

    5 reis at 26mm, it would appear? https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces38648.html

    It looks Portuguese to me. Something like this? https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces35272.html

    I don't think it'll hurt this one. Someone kicking it up and down the street already did that!

    Dot on trident.

    I've given it a rub on my T-shirt so it's looking much better. I'll post another photo tomorrow when I've got some daylight.
  24. mrbadexample
    I'm glad I knew that.

    The verdigris has come off. The edges are knackered. But £9 all-in.
