It needs a hole in it to be a washer.

 

Mind you, a washer is only a very very short pipe......

A pipe is a hollow bar, and a very short piece of bar is a flat disc, and a disc between some dies makes a coin....

Where do you want to go with this ? ;)

Well yes true it is a bit of a what you see is what it is kind of coin but to me the line is straight and doesn't dive up at the left end  but as it is so worn i cannot see if there is a sig below the foot either. If anything it would have to be E as there isn't a 1860 with rev G

Ha!

Is a saw a very thin file? 

Where does one stop and the other start?

Is one car 'traffic'?

Tracy Tools used to do hilarious charts with different bolt types on etc..

All made up and hilarious...perfect for the workshop wall.

I've just emailed them to see if they still do 'em....

I've been wondering about this one....

It was the second finest in the CGS Population Report,

and it was noted that no examples were in the Alderley or Norweb collections.

I think it's a Type 5, but I'm not sure.....

It was tricky to get the pictures in focus enough to see the finer detail.

Will the edge knocks detract from its value?

I don't know any more than that- I'm not expecting The Spanish Inquisition....

And in this weeks issue of WTF, you call THAT a Penny... we have this lovely example of an 1877.

So quick, before they put me back in the nice white jacket that does up at the back....

Is it a reverse H (sea and thn   lighthouse, thats my best shot).
