I haven't had a chance to do a "deep dive" and I am not sure one is warranted. By most accounts, this piece seems to be in line with the basic...
Given the diameter and weight of your example, in addition to several notable design deviations, I would argue that this is a contemporary...
Thank you! I'm not sure how long it took. I finished most of the writing in 2019 when free time was still a thing, but I was never satisfied with...
Thank you for posting this here @physics-fan3.14. I summed up my reaction pretty well over there so I figured I would include it here as well....
@ColonialCoinsUK thank you for the info. I always enjoy a good hunt.
I highly recommend the two that I posted. My interests were narrowly covered, but there is a wealth of information between the two books. I have...
I am very intrigued by the edition on the top! Would you care to share the publication details for this issue? @ColonialCoinsUK I have the two...
My wife likes to say that I have entirely too many books, and I am starting to think she may be correct! In so far as numismatics, I believe my...

Is the theme coat of arms? If so, I can contribute one of my favorite pieces (I probably have shared it before, but I absolutely love the look of...
England- 1698 William III 1/2 pence [ATTACH] This series is notorious for poor craftmanship (note the oblong shape). I have provided a short...
I took a few more pictures of the specified areas, and they seem damning to the contemporary counterfeit explanation. Note the slight remnants of...
Much to my dissatisfaction, there are not many resources for Irish copper, much less any work specific to the Soho issues. Most of the significant...
@robp I will take additional pictures of the specified areas when we return from our weekend trip. How would you suggest capturing the edge?
@robp thank you for your thoughtful and detailed response. I am away for the weekend, but once I get back, I will inspect the coin in hand...
You have missed the point here. @The Eidolon is suggesting that "others" (i.e., not mint officials) may have sourced their copper from the heavier...
