Might be cleaned but not sure. I agree, probably a details grade. A nice coin though. Bruce
So she twisted your arm did she? I'll bet you didn't struggle too hard before buying that beauty.:D Bruce
Love the Queen Ann Crown. I have a lot of cartwheels and others in my collection but not one like that. Impressive and beautiful. Bruce
Both 1 and 2-pence coins are referred to as cartwheels by many collectors...including me.:D Two heavy and impressive coins. Bruce
It's both, Z. It's a store card that circulated as money just like the "traditional" HTTs. The 1837 date places it in the Hard Times era so it's...
They really romanticized that one didn't they. Maybe women would be grateful for it back them but now it would just "suck." Bruce:eek:
I couldn't agree more. Try to forget the negatives and just enjoy the coin that you now have. Always worked for me. Bruce
I think collecting this kind of "stuff" is really interesting, tachwriter. I've collected in the past and still have a good selection of...
Love the medal, Z, especially the toning. It's absolutely gorgeous. Bruce
Yep!
I like these experimental pieces, but haven't seen one up close like this before. An interesting coin but the rotary press concept didn't end...
I agree, a nice clean undamaged coin. The initials are stamped on it neatly too. A very nice filler coin. Bruce
Beautiful set, Z. What's wrong with you? What's "wrong" with you is that you have a keen appreciation for beautiful coins.:) BTW, are these...
I just heard that the other day. A couple of my friends were going to attend so they're disappointed. I've gone to past shows but couldn't make it...
That's a nice counterstamp, Eric. It's listed in Brunk's reference as G-277 but is unattributed. The latest population numbers show three examples...
A shame about the damage, Matthew, but I would have bought it too. An important save because of the rarity. paddyman98 might be right about it...
Not sure about your nickel, YankeeDime. It looks like it might be engraved. Bruce
May's is an English company, Heavymetal. Henry May manufactured this product in London 1867-1907. Not a common stamp but not difficult to find...
Looks like Circus figured it out, Heavymetal. I'll check on the K & E but that's going to be more difficult. Bruce
