Title: Scan Club Finds of the Month October 2011 Post by: The Doc on November 02, 2011, 09:06:55 PM Cardiff Scan Club's Finds of the Month are now in Scan Club Gallery here:
http://www.cardiffscanclub.co.uk/gallery/album81 (http://www.cardiffscanclub.co.uk/gallery/album81) Well done all, in particular Alun, although why our members voted his Lizzy sixpence (nice though it is) before Stan's superb Edward IV groat and Neil's lovely Edward the Confessor I will never know. A similar thing happened in March 2007, when Tom's Lizzie sixpence was placed first ahead of Maxine's cracking Henry I penny: http://www.cardiffscanclub.co.uk/gallery/album23 (http://www.cardiffscanclub.co.uk/gallery/album23) Title: Re: Scan Club Finds of the Month October 2011 Post by: dances with badgers on November 02, 2011, 09:56:29 PM oooh rings loverly juberly lol.nice gold coin pendant too :o

Title: Re: Scan Club Finds of the Month October 2011 Post by: mickycoin "mick" on November 03, 2011, 10:36:45 AM my comment is that i have never seen an edward confessor penny let alone found one, but the lizzy iv had atleasr 5 over the years, but they must have had there reasons for putting that coin first iso i respect there decission its there club not mine, goodluck to them and thankyou all for showing the coins anyway mickycoin ;D ;D

Title: Re: Scan Club Finds of the Month October 2011 Post by: Nick on November 03, 2011, 12:14:46 PM Judges, hang your heads in shame.
The Edward Confessor coin should be in the running for coin of the year, never mind coin of the month. Title: Re: Scan Club Finds of the Month October 2011 Post by: saxonman on November 03, 2011, 12:51:16 PM You will be hanging about Fifty people( by that, i mean in shame).Thats the amount of people who chosed to vote for the catergarys for finds of the Month.
I must say this system is flawd as faveritizm can pervail. Some clubs use Mark Lodwick as Judge and Jury this i think is the way it sould go, as some voters dont no there CONFESSORS to there CONTESSERS. Sould have won,(Confessor i mean.) ;) Title: Re: Scan Club Finds of the Month October 2011 Post by: Metalmickey on November 03, 2011, 01:42:53 PM Listen i`m not in the club so it makes no odds to me who gets where & i know "rarity" should be considered but "condition" is also a point to factor in. As human beings ":Looks" is important in our psycie & perhaps this was the deciding factor for those who judged ! ;)
Title: Re: Scan Club Finds of the Month October 2011 Post by: heather on November 03, 2011, 06:35:40 PM now im a member, can I put my finds up for judging ?
H Title: Re: Scan Club Finds of the Month October 2011 Post by: StumbledUpon on November 03, 2011, 06:40:16 PM lizzy's seem to be very popular with the vote. :) some lovely finds all, well done. :)
Title: Re: Scan Club Finds of the Month October 2011 Post by: The Doc on November 03, 2011, 06:51:37 PM now im a member, can I put my finds up for judging ? H Yes - bring them to the club meeting. You can enter one find in each of the following categories: Pre-1700 Coin Pre-1700 Artefact Post-1700 Coin Post-1700 Artefact Beach Find Finds need to have been made by yourself in the month since the last meeting. Title: Re: Scan Club Finds of the Month October 2011 Post by: The Doc on November 03, 2011, 06:55:13 PM I should explain that the judges are all the members of the club present at the meeting, who each have one vote in each section.
On the whole, the system works relatively well, but occasionally results like this appear. Many factors influence the vote as stated by several of the posters above. Title: Re: Scan Club Finds of the Month October 2011 Post by: waltonbasinman on November 03, 2011, 07:04:46 PM That Edward the Confessor Penny is a find of a lifetime. Well done the finder and you get my vote every time. Seals not half bad either.
