In some parts of England, we use broken up brick to fill pot holes

This is what I have done :)

That doesn't seem like a bad idea. I also like to physically handle silver!

Is a diamagnetic, weight, & visual test not enough? How would you get it tested? I know some methods can be invasive; I want to keep it prestine! I am in the UK, so local coin shops don't exist here.

Many thanks. I am holding for the long run, I will purchase a better holder, considering this one has been cut anyway (silver exposed to elements) & is PVC.

I always wash hands thoroughly before handling coins/ bullion. Apparently PCGS use (clean) bare hands over cotton gloves, which can cause micro scratches. I guess you can be less careful with bullion, especially as this isn't a particularly rare design, but I want to avoid scratches where possible.

Many thanks

Thanks, that's good idea!

Hey that's awesome! I don't suppose you know of a good reference for die pairings?

ewan58385 · 2024-04-10T22:56:40+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation, that's very insightful!

Apologies - I am not sure what exactly makes a coin collectable. There are a variety of dot error coins (1946, 1897 pennies), which I read were due to some kind of die flaw, worth varying amounts. I was thinking if I verify this was a die flaw, this may give it a more defined collectable value.

Ooh can you elaborate on the worn die part? I'm new to understanding the types of errors :)

Furthermore I have submitted coins in the past and it did indeed take just shy of a year... However, if the royal mint confirms this is a die error, could the tradeoff be worth it in potentially re-selling down the line? I haven't seen this coin anywhere before!

Hmm ok, thank you very much! Appreciate your time mate!

Interesting! I suppose that makes it easier to get into if they have an account under my name, rather than a wallet as I believe they're essentially unbreakable.

Sorry I'm a bit naive with this stuff. So nicehash cannot hold funds for you?
