Also the Charles 1st milled sixpence for a change, S 2860 I spotted a error with your coin the obverse reads CHISTO not CHRISTO its missing the R look into it, its possibly rare? Title: Re: friday feeling Post by: carling2 on January 17, 2014, 05:44:02 PM cheers dale for pointing that out , I didn't notice,, just looked in spinks and as you say chales 1st sixpence say Christo,,,, anybody else any ideas?
Title: Re: friday feeling Post by: Dale on January 17, 2014, 05:53:49 PM It is a known error, Iv just found a example being sold as a error.
If you look at the coin I have shown it looks like a detecting find... But its had a weight reduction, they used to get a file and scrape the silver straight of the face of coin lol Nice find ;) Title: Re: friday feeling Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on January 17, 2014, 05:55:00 PM Heres a legend error http://www.londoncoins.co.uk/?page=Pastresults&auc=130&searchlot=1007&searchtype=2 (http://www.londoncoins.co.uk/?page=Pastresults&auc=130&searchlot=1007&searchtype=2)

When I first started collecting ~20 years ago now, I remember clearly the coin dealer I used to buy from selling a 'CHISTO' error coin to one of his more affluent regulars. I know it got a premium, but that was 20 years ago, when he said I would never own coins of many of the emperors I do own..... :) |
