Let's have some copper for a change. All George III pattern halfpennies ex-Boulton.

Peck 991

Peck 995

Peck 1161. If you ever wanted an example of a coin struck from rusted dies, this would be the one of choice.

Any clues as to why I wouldn't see them? Presumably it has to be some setting somewhere.

RobP:

I also see my image in your post. These are pretty large, about 2mb and here is another one:

I think it might be something to do with firewall settings. When I try to view the image I get a no response timeout message from the hosting site. It's only your images I can't see.

Fabulous stuff in this thread! My favorite, so far, is rwyarmch's deux sous Habitatant token, but then I'm an avowed exonumist.

So for my contribution to the proceedings, a recently-acquired gilt proof 1811 halfpennny token from the Patent Sheathing Nail Manufactory of Bristol, Somersetshire.

Best to all!

Proof 62. That's 62.

Red and *cough* Brown

"Red/Brown" can sure cover a lot of ground!

canadacolornut · February 20, 2011 2:01AM

Here's one I'll be submitting soon-also destined for Red and, uh, Brown

I absolutely love that Cyprus proof set.

rwyarmch · October 23, 2013 7:41AM

I remembered this one while researching Taylor restrikes. Any Peck pros who can confirm the Peck # (991?)

lordmarcovan · October 23, 2013 8:51AM

Nice thread resurrection.

Agree. That 1901 Cyprus set still makes my eyes pop

Yes it is, there's another example towards the bottom of the previous page.

Yes, no quatrefoil in front of date and the flaw at Britannia's heel. Here's a P971 (late Soho period), the Taylor restrikes seem to be derived mostly from these dies for the 1790 dated pieces, although of course he also mated this obverse die with several different reverses, as well as the pieces he did with retooling on the original reverse die.
