    Morning all. Please bear with me because I've no business being on the hammered section of the forum. I've seen this Charles I shilling on a Faceache group. I believe the legend should read "CHRISTO" but the I is missing. Can someone tell me more about this coin please? Thanks, Jon

    I'd like to know too. I suspect something more advanced than Paint is required.
  4. mrbadexample
    Nor me.

    Regardless of the Krause valuations being a bit hit and miss, this seems a pretty obvious thing to get wrong, and a little embarrassing to be shown off as an auction highlight.

    It is difficult to tell from the LCA photos, I agree. The bit that makes me think twice is the pointing of the downstroke of the 3. Seems to be aiming a bit low compared to Richard's.

    1856 rigsbankskilling currently being advertised by LCA for their December auction, with a suggested valuation of $700. If it were a Copenhagen mint mark (crown) then this might be the case. However, this has the Altona mint mark (orb), and is worth comfortably less than $50 IMO. I paid £1.57 for mine. It'll be interesting to see if this is corrected prior to the auction, and what it actually sells for.

    That's unfortunate. Someone paid a lot of money for it. http://londoncoins.co.uk/?page=Pastresults&auc=147&searchlot=2922&searchtype=2

    Following on from the is it / isn't it debate on the ebay's worst offerings thread, and using the above for comparison, is the top example here an open 3?
  11. mrbadexample
    Any help?
  12. mrbadexample
    That's the hard bit to overcome, but otherwise you're burglin'.

    Think you'd have to know where it was buried to the inch. How about knocking on the door and offering them half if you tell them what & where it is?
  14. mrbadexample
    Probably time to start handing them back if you get them as change in a shop.

    As I understand it it's not about the ice cube melting but the thermal conductivity of the metal. So when you hold the coin by the edges and put the ice cube in the middle you should feel the edges become cold almost immediately if it's silver.

    I think you'll get so many different specifications because it's been minted for so long, in so many different places, that there will be variations. The weight should be pretty consistent though. Have you checked to see if yours is silver?
  17. mrbadexample
    Think this is just when someone bids, but not high enough to take the lead. They bid a bit more, still not enough. A bit more, etc.

    Post good pictures (including the edge) here and you might get your answer.
  19. mrbadexample
    You've been watching it for 6 years?

    Do you know if the trials were also minted in Paris David? I had made that assumption but don't know if it's correct.
  21. mrbadexample
    There's no mintage listed in Krause so I don't know. I wouldn't have thought it would be particularly high though, so I'm a bit surprised by the extent of the die cracks.
  22. mrbadexample
    Interestingly, the picture in my edition of Krause shows the same die cracks.
  23. mrbadexample
    Are you quite sure you have a 1964 silver three pence?
  24. mrbadexample
    Couple of nice trial strikes.
  25. mrbadexample
    Thanks John. Pete kindly tipped me off when he spotted it. It's the one sold at LCA auction 158 lot 2351.
