Coinery Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Wow, even with the pixelation I can see that's a special coin. You will need to provide better images, however, you can link to an external host, such as photobucket, and get some quality images up here for viewing! Looks magnificent, though! Quote

Looks magnificent, though!To an old cynic like me, it looks suspiciously good. Absolute BU specimen. If it's genuine then it's a peach, but could it be a replica? Quote

Very difficult to say any more with such low-res images.Are you planning to sell it? Edited December 31, 2012 by Coinery Quote

There's a faint amount of wear on the shoulder, but it's certainly GEF I would say. Unfortunately, my Spink is 2005 and way out of date, but that gives £1500 in EF so I'd say it should be £2k - £2.5k by now, but with an added premium for its being so good.----------------------------------------Despite what Dave says, it's certainly possible to post good pictures here, even with a 150k per post limit. Use an image editor :1. reduce the resolution to 72 ppi (you don't need more than that on a computer screen)2. reduce the size to around - e.g. - 600 pixels square (pictures don't need to be the size of dinner plates, just a few times larger than lifesize)3. save as a JPEG and compress it to medium quality at best (it won't deteriorate after one edit/save) - the result should easily be within the 150k limit. Actually, your Photobucket image is only 300 pixels square, and when I brought it into Adobe Elements and saved it as a medium JPEG, the file size was 48k!! In other words, you've got plenty of room to work with.(Chris P - if I do a full post on how to do this, can you put it as a 'sticky' in one of the forums?) Edited December 31, 2012 by Peckris Quote
Nicholas Posted December 31, 2012 Author Posted December 31, 2012 Sounds like there's no documentation on this variety. Thanks for the info to all. I've promised this coin to William McKay when I sell! Happy new year to all coin enthusiasts! Best, nick Quote

Happy new year to all coin enthusiasts! Best, nickIf you read the reply from peckris there is a faint hint of the stop, which i can now also see, so more than likely a clogged die than a variety Edited December 31, 2012 by azda Quote
Nicholas Posted December 31, 2012 Author Posted December 31, 2012 Can't see any sign of filing or a partially filled die. http://i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u567/2tearsinabucket1/B2D78253-2EA3-4051-BC58-44B5C597D7A3-460-0000009368EA4DA1_zps6164c0e1.jpg Quote

Coinery Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Can't see any sign of filing or a partially filled die. http://i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u567/2tearsinabucket1/B2D78253-2EA3-4051-BC58-44B5C597D7A3-460-0000009368EA4DA1_zps6164c0e1.jpgI have to agree with you based upon that image! I recently had a supposed 'no stop after DEI' 1700 shilling (the thread's on here), which turned out to be a blocked die (which Spink's accepted, and proposed a change to the catalogue). At micro observation, this coin showed the stressings on the coin's surface of a blocked die, which would need to be absolutely perfectly blocked to avoid it (I would think); I can't see this on your coin, and I'd say it's even better grade than my shilling!
