    Looks like a late Soho striking from Droz 1/2d dies, DH 11 I believe from looking at Peck (borrowed from spinaker).

    ....not very well taken care of, now is it.
  • mongoosemongoose Posts: 589 ✭✭
    Sure isn't! There is a note regarding the dies for DH 11 being rusted, appears that the dies weren't taken care of either.

    It looks like the "before" picture for an NGC conservation ad.

    I have to show my ignorance on this one.

    Would anyone pay $250 for that coin in "at least" that bad condition?

    Can't really add to Wybrit's official "thumbs down" assessment.

    << <i>Offered for sale is a nice and rare Great Britain 1788 Gilt Pattern Penny in Proof condition. >>



    Aaargh! You would think somebody with such an interesting coin would be a sufficiently advanced numismatist to know that proof is a method of manufacture, not a condition!

    Neat item. Too bad it wasn't better preserved, but I still like it.

    It makes it easy to determine the high points on this type. image Gotta love that reverse though!
