In that case I reckon someone got a bloody bargain. I couldnt work out why it went for so much. Report this Post to the Staff

enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 05/04/2013 02:50 am Its not a sixpence planchet. Diameter is way too small. Its only slightly larger than a well centred threepence. Report this Post to the Staff

enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 05/04/2013 02:55 am Yeh I was having kittens trying to find my scales then I thought out loud "diameter!". Either way it is a very nice misstrike. Usually they get bent a bit but this one is nice and flat. Also in very nice grade. Edited by enworb 05/04/2013 02:56 am Report this Post to the Staff
darge Valued Member Australia 236 Posts	Posted 05/04/2013 03:09 am Photos can be so tricky. That coin looks to be at least 2 mm larger than the threepence and there is only 2 mm between 3d and 6d. I've been caught before relying on photos. Bought an Unc 1951 halfpenny no dot with obverse 4 (hope I got this right) can't remember for sure. Relied on great photos showing the upright of the N pointing at the rimbead. (or the gap - again can't remember which way it goes) Got it for $31 or something, others thought the same. When the coin arrived it showed the opposite and there was no doubt it was the right coin. Anyway can you send your email addy so I can send my bank details for my commission enworb? Sorry to give you a fright. Report this Post to the Staff
