Nick Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 It seems that it is always the rare variety that ends up with a dirty great hole through it. This looks like a type 1+A (ie same as 1887) die pairing with 1 over 1 in the date. Davies quotes the 1/1 as being 1+B but the only example I've ever seen was 1+A and was sold by DNW in September 2011. Quote
ChKy Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Seems, that rare varieties are not dedicated for destruction. In such a case people tolerate holes, loops our frames. Damaged and common stuff usually is melted down i the melting pot... Quote
Peckris Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 I like this in the description :"the coin is better than what the pictures are showing, the quality of picture is not good"...what, you mean there ISN'T a socking great hole in it, it's just the photo?? Quote
Accumulator Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 I like this in the description :""...what, you mean there ISN'T a socking great hole in it, it's just the photo?? :D He later advises, 'Please see photo for condition'. He can't have it both ways! Needless to say, he also adds the obligatory 'thanks for looking' twice and a the essential 'happy bidding' for good measure. Quote
