Counterfeit 1819 6-pence Nice one Otto. I think it was a fair representation of the genuine article. I wonder if the engraver worked at the mint and was moonlighting? A good acquisition. The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

Nothing spectacular but a better than average 1949 Brass Threepence . Any coins of 1946 and 1949 above VF are scarce   |

The counterfeit I posted on 5-28 turns out be a shilling.

Yet another recent auction pickup, this time a proof-like 1811 silver sixpence token from Sussex issued by Thomas Dally, a Chichester draper and merchant. While the castle is likely a generic representation, the shield is a technically accurate but "relaxed" interpretation of the city arms.Dalton 13, R; Davis 12, ,

On your reverse, the loose end of the belt comes out passed the outer circle as it should. I posted the sixpence on 4-23 http://goccf.com/t/132633&whichpage=222#3834695 and the loose end of the belt just fades off into obscurity and is taken over entirely by the outer circle. Perhaps your engraver *hung around* a bit longer than mine.  The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.
