Coinery Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 These two coins are meant to be exactly the same coin, photographed at different times. Of course photography can vary, but this one looks comparatively mushy…what do you think? Quote
Coinery Posted October 17, 2022 Author Posted October 17, 2022 The stop before IACOBVS? Try expanding the SAS at the bottom of the coin? Quote
TomGoodheart Posted October 18, 2022 Posted October 18, 2022 On balance, I'd say yes. But the difference in focus and lighting meant I had to do a lot of checking! And yes the top looks mushy, but I assume it's out of focus. Can you buy it at the price of the top one? Because with that photo it should really be a lot lower than the price of the lower one! 2 Quote
Coinery Posted October 18, 2022 Author Posted October 18, 2022 I was simply looking at various dies for the double crown and came across these two that were difficult to reconcile. I initially assumed them to be different coins of the same die…I think it a tricky call, photography versus analysis, for me at least. Interestingly the chronology is all wrong at London Coins, which counts against me to be fair! Quote

Exactly the same in both. 1 Quote
