Hussulo Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 I believe this coin to be a 1692 Halfcrown R/G in Regina which is supposed to be extremely rare (according to Spink) do you lot concur with my finding? And I know it's not in great condition, pity. Quote
custard1966 Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 I have no idea what the 'kosher' version is supposed to look like but it looks pretty convincing to me. Quote
Rob Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 It looks similar to lot 406 in the Adams sale see picture attached. File size is not very large as it was taken from the website. It also has H over R in HI. If this is also obvious then it has to be. Quote
Hussulo Posted June 11, 2006 Author Posted June 11, 2006 I'm not sure if its H over R, but the H is unbarred in the midle and looks more like a II but the base is joined.P.S do you know the link to the Adams sale I would like to see it if possible. Quote
Rob Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 (edited) It's in the archived catalogues section on Spink's website. 1st Dec. 2005 if the link doesn't work.Adams Update - Copy and paste the page viewed doesn't work for some reason. Edited June 11, 2006 by Rob Quote
Bronze & Copper Collector Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Not familiar with half crowns (primarily Bronze & Copper), but insofar as regarding overdates/repunches, etc.... But for my 2 cents worth, it certainly has all the appearances of being that variety.... Quote
Guest Guest Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 That is the R over G variety, it is also H over B. See the 2006 Spink S3436 and you will see two 'extremely rare' entries for 1692. I believe they refer to the same coin.Mal Quote
Hussulo Posted July 8, 2006 Author Posted July 8, 2006 Thanks Mal but unfortunately I have since sold this coin. ( I really need to buy Spink 2006 I'm still using 2003 version!) Quote
