blakeyboy Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 It needs a hole in it to be a washer. Mind you, a washer is only a very very short pipe...... Quote
Unwilling Numismatist Posted February 16, 2018 Author Posted February 16, 2018 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 ? 1 Quote
zookeeperz Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Anyone know die pairings on this. I am assuming it is 2+D ?. Thanks Quote
Peckris Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 No, I think you'll find it's VIC+D:G.+D:+1860 Quote

If anything it would have to be E as there isn't a 1860 with rev G Quote

Where do you want to go with this ? 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.... Quote
blakeyboy Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 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.... 4 Quote
Unwilling Numismatist Posted February 20, 2018 Author Posted February 20, 2018 I wouldn't expect much of an answer, mine was a fair question but it didn't go well. Quote
