Mynki Posted January 31, 2016 Author Posted January 31, 2016 Yes, that's the one. I don't suppose you have any info on said collection do you? Did a deal for the pair (I think my haggling skills are ok?). Tried taking pictures earlier but not enough natural sunlight and with the flash they look washed out. Quote

Here's some responses to the same question on the CoinsGB Forum back in 2007: http://www.coinsgbforum.com/?showtopic=162 I would imagine that's the same 'Rob' as we know on here! 1 Quote
Rob Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Yes. Correct. Everyone was at Wakefield today it seems, Mynki, me, even Mr Cheshire. Surprisingly busy given York was only a fortnight ago. Edited January 31, 2016 by Rob Quote

Surprisingly busy given York was only a fortnight ago. I wondered if you'd be there Rob. I did look for an RP Coins sign, but didn't see one. From what I understand the Cheshire Collection was auctioned on June 1st 2005 in the US by Goldberg Coins. Unfortunately I don't appear to be able to view individual lots. Is anyone on here able to see these? I've just registered but am still waiting for an email. Paulus, thanks for the link. Quote

In the middle of the cross aisle with me facing the entrance. Can't get me wrong as the guy on my left is shorter and fatter, whilst the one on my right is shorter and thinner. I'm the large hairy object in the middle. 2 Quote

Mynki Posted February 2, 2016 Author Posted February 2, 2016 OK, so here's the 1845 shilling ex Cheshire collection that I picked up. The pictures were taken on a windowsill using just natural light. In hand the coin looks much darker. 1 Quote
Mynki Posted February 2, 2016 Author Posted February 2, 2016 The 1888 inverted 1 double florin. Though I've read recently that the 'inverted 1' is in fact a damaged 'I'. Under the loupe there appears to be some minute red fibres on the coin. Not overly happy with these pictures. They don't show the level of detail the coin has in hand. In particular on the reverse, there is more detail in the lions faces and the St George cross in the middle is more recessed than appears on the image. Anyway, both will be sent to CGS in due course.

Nice coins!! The inverted 1 is now believed to be due to a filled die rather than a broken punch. The new ESC has very nice photos showing coins with full left bottom serif (normal), trace of lower left serif (partially filled die) and no lower left serif (completely filled or "inverted 1") I have brought a rather nice 1888 double florin recently but it is a normal variety as I didn't want to pay extra for the inverted 1.
