<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1681352, member: 19463"]Recently Randy posted a thread with his new PARL and the one he traded to someone I know (me) so I'll add here my new PARL which does not by any means replace the one that was once Randy's but is an additional coin nicer in some ways and short in the most important one. This new coin has great surfaces but was double struck so there is additional forehead detail floating in the portrait as well as mush where the left legend should be. Ther reverse is nice save for an mushy extra horse head just left of the good one and the big problem to me: The rump of the horse is flat with no Christmas balls which I consider important on a PARL coin. Still it is a nice coin and odd enough that no one outbid me on eBay so it cost about the same as the postage (from the UK). It is not a Bridgnorth Hoard coin (the surfaces are nicer than on my coin from that hoard). I like odd coins and this doublestrike bothers me less than what I saved in terms of price from a perfectly struck coin otherwise the same. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]251831.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
