It is a contemporary counterfeit - counterfeiting of all British coinage was rampant in the late 18th-early 19th centuries, partly due to a...
Looks normal to me.
@lordmarcovan I took the colour variance to be encrustations... if not, there is often a mottling to the alloy used. Also, seals (especially...
As the material appears to suit this suggestion - I think it is a lead bag seal of some sort. These were common across the globe, used to seal...
Hi All! Wow- very unexpected, but very pleasantly so :) Thank you very much @lordmarcovan for running these draws - you are most generous, and a...
Although the obverse of these is notoriously weak, this is still an EF-AU example (VF-EF in British grading), and should be details. The lustre is...
Entry post - fall and spring are my two favourite seasons - not too cold, not to warm, and the light has a special quality about it.
I actually collect pre-Euro, high-grade Belgian coins. As opposed to what many people think, it is a fascinating field of numismatics - 2 sets of...
Let me preface by saying that it is very difficult to assert anything with any certainty from photos in this case. This having been said, I see no...
Sorry @toned_morgan, but these do not sell for anywhere near $50, they actually have a 'negative' value assigned to them owing to their bulk in...
Thats a tough question, as up until a short while ago, we were in an artificially inflated market. I might give you a realistic answer in a years...
None are 'special,' (none are rare types / all are in average condition) but at $2 40 years ago, you are bound to beat inflation in our times.
There are many continental imitations of English Pennies from this period, some official, some clandestine - I would suggest that this might be...
@BIC - the coin market has crashed numerous times in the past, and will do so in the future... as with virtually all markets, people get excited...
If genuine (on which I do not wish to opine here), this coin has at least been previously mounted, and cleaned. It is at best a damaged coin in a...
Accidental duplication of lots? Happens more often than you think, especially if the seller is using a bulk upload tool.
@7Jags I would be inclined to say that it is a genuine piece, as this mark shares several key diagnostics with Pridmore and the British Museum...
Can we get some better close-ups of the c/m? And maybe under a couple of angles of light? Measurements would also help. I can see the tell-tale...
This looks as though it has been chemically manipulated to me... the pitting and lack of detail don't bode well...
Regardless of anything else, the surfaces are messed up - I think it might come back in a body bag as tooled. As such, no... sell it on if you can.
