Coinery Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Chris Comber is a fabulous and generous chap, but I’d be surprised if he can add anything to the attribution of your coin that you haven’t read here already, but it’ll be great to get his insights! 👍 Quote
Richard2 Posted June 26, 2018 Author Posted June 26, 2018 I agree,you guys nailed it. As you say it will be good to get his insight, and he might make me an offer I can’t refuse💰😁 Quote

Of course CC has since died, but did you ever get to show him your coin? Quote
Richard2 Posted December 21, 2021 Author Posted December 21, 2021 Hi Coinery, Yes I did get to speak with him and showed him the coin . But from what I can remember he disregarded it as anything than just a ordinary 3d . It was quite dark in the room and it was just a quick look without a loupe so not really what I was hoping for as an answer. It didn’t feel right to tell him he was wrong and that he should take a better look, I’m not that brave😁. Quote

I’m so glad I asked 😊 Imagine at a coin club telling BCWs Chris Comber he was wrong about an Elizabeth three pence! That will make me chuckle ‘til Christmas and beyond! Thanks for that, Richard, have a great Christmas and a very happy new year! Best, Stuart Quote

Richard2 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Posted December 22, 2021 It was a really interesting evening, Chris Comber gave a talk on Elizabeth pattern shillings as I said. He bought along several coins that were handed around for all to have a look at, none were in protective sleeves or anything. He trusted us all to handle them safely. There were even some gold coins of Elizabeth, amazing.I wish I had taken some pictures, will probably never have that opportunity to hold so many rare and beautiful coins again. 1 Quote
