JHax Valued Member United States 302 Posts	Posted 10/28/2016 11:07 pm SHAFTA9a--Being certain it was genuine the minute I saw it, I left my brass 1859 raw in my collection for decades. Then, when I finally decided its price had risen to an absolutely insane level for just a mint error, I had it analyzed and then had it certified by ICCS before it went to a new owner.

Any chance you wrote down and saved those results? As for playing with bears... that comes with my career...

JHax Valued Member United States 302 Posts	Posted 10/29/2016 5:06 pm Of course I did, Roger. Remember I also had a couple of bronze pieces from the same die pair analyzed and was going to publish a paper. And, of course, I have photos of it, too. Because of the planned paper I'm reluctant to share the details here (one of the rare cases where I am reluctant to share), but I'll send it to you. I will say that the die pair was 8 + E10 and bronze pieces from the same die were struck before and after the brass. Ask Grizzly Man about bears. Oh, that's right, he's not talking!

rocky Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 10/29/2016 7:26 pm JHax thank you for the info. I will buy the 2 coins from this gentleman in 3 weeks time. the one he thinks is a 1859 victoria. all you can see on the coin is the queens image. the coin 1884 that coin is in excellent condition. it would be about a UNC. but I am no grader so I will find out after I get them. I have something he wants really bad. a very special envelope. that has a special stamp and cancel. I think I will let him have that. JHAX if I get them. I will post photos here thank you. SPP-Ottawa I like the way you do thing. most people would not even think of cutting them coins out. but I understand why you did. excellent Report this Post to the Staff
