Would this be the scarcer unbarred A in Maria variety of threepence or just a weak strike? Impossible to say. The other letters appear to be partially blocked, so there is no reason to assume the presence or lack of crossbar. Unless a coin is near to as struck and crucially, well struck, the jury is always out regarding inverted Vs because as the crossbar was often an addition, it frequently appears weak and is often the first feature to fill.

declan03 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Thank you Rob . Wasn't quite sure as the price guide mentioned unbarred A's plural. And there are a few other letters blocked as you mentioned. I will treat as the common kind until such a time as i uncover a better example. Your quick response is very much appreciated. Regards. Quote
zookeeperz Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Looks like MARII to me the first A is barred from your picture but the last A is exactly the same as the I unless you can see remnants of the A . Drawing on the conclusion that the right leg would be the same as the first and it isn't its thinner so I assume it's an I . I sit all day doing this lol. It is so very difficult with pics unless they are so clear and that hardly ever is the case. Sometimes what I think i see isn't the case but what I see when I get it in my hand something that never showed on the original pic. So sometimes I'll throw caution to the wind as there is bound to be an error somewhere Just noticed the small S on obverse and irregular font sizes on reverse. A variety?

Something fishy here! Edited October 4, 2017 by hibernianscribe Quote

hibernianscribe Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 I was commenting on the fact that one bidder was bidding 4 times in a row without any opposing bids in between - but I suppose since you mention it this does happen if a bidder wants to revise his maximum bid. Still a bit unusual though? Quote
declan03 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 The price of those £1 coins have ben selling for £20+ since it was announced on the BBC national news yesterday, that they were going out of circulation and that the Edinburgh capital cities was rare. He also mentioned a set could end up going for £36+ Hope this explains it. Quote

declan03 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Here is another purchase i made from ebay at the weekend. It was advertised as a 1750 shilling. Over 6? Quote
declan03 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Thanks Rob. I use Tony Claytons price guide for advice which is handy. He only had a 1750/6 shilling listed. I did wonder why they would only change the last digit right enough. One for the collection at £26. I seen an Edinburgh capital cities £1 sell for that this morning. Whats the world coming to??? ?

Rob Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 There are at least 4 varieties of 1750 shilling. 1 Quote
declan03 Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Hi Rob. Would you happen to have a 2017 coin price guide for sale which would include these overdates? Quote

Spink list three, but they are all within a few quid of each other. I don't think that any are particularly rare over the others from experience. Fine is 40-45, VF 135-150, EF 700-750 in CoE 2017. I would treat them all as equal. 1 Quote

bagerap Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Probably a few of mine in there too John, but the first few were bloody hilarious. Quote
zookeeperz Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Not exactly Ebay and whilst I think charities do a lot of good work. It concerns me somewhat when I see this. Is there anywhere we can be safe from this kind of misrepresentation. I call it that because with the vast amount of information available it takes seconds to check fact from fiction. I did politely suggest that the coin in question if you ask the 1.5 billion siblings of the coin would they deem it rare :). Oh and to put straight the fact NEW PENNY is on all 1p coins until the change to ONE PENNY in 1982. http://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop/stamps-and-coins/coins-and-banknotes/rare-1971-one-new-penny-hd_101017567 Quote
