I thought I noticed something different about this coin that I bid on the last Numisbid Auction.
It is a nice lamination error, Not too often you see these on PCGS graded coins.
By the looks of the coin the flaw cost it at least 2 grading points.

Surprises me that they even slabbed it ::angel:
I considor Lamination Peels as "Damaged Planchet"
The active green stuff is a turn off as well.

Up your aperture to at least F11 when snapping
coins that are in slabs/capsules.
Be carefull as your shutter speed will drop to
a very low number 1/15-1/10 second.
Up the ISO to 400 will help also.

I thought the coins only get "Bodybagged" if there is some sort of Post Mint Damage Not because they are an error coin.
As this coin is mildly scarce in this grade I imagine a nice little error like this would be the Cherry on the Cake, That's why I bought it :)
Ah well , Each to their own.
I quite Like it :good:

I can work out how to adjust the white balance and the ISO But the shutter speed eludes me :dash1:
I may have to "Bite the Bullet" and go where most Blokes never ever Go, I will have to read the manual :angel:
OMG Trout - be careful going there mate ....
when it won't work
read the destructions!!
hope that you live to tell the story ha ha

I'm going to read them in the wee hours of the morning while Mrs Trout is still asleep.
I will never hear the end of it if she catches me actually reading the instruction manual on something I have bought :angel: :laugh2:
true
if I ever catch the hubby reading an instruction manual I will most likely have to divorce him
life just wouldn't be the same again ......... :(
There are a few things that one buy new that do not come with instruction manuals. A few that come to mind are a broom, a mop, a mop bucket, potato peeler, ice cube tray, wife and I suppose many more..........I better shut up before the mods have a go at red herring the topic.
Mean while the 1945 Halfpenny...........
ha ha
yes true especially regarding the wifie manual
I do believe that they require little to no maintenance or instructions for use
being such perfection - there's no need !!
yes back to the '45 now ...
Awe now come on, there ain't no way I'm buyin a wife, well not directly that is as they cost too bloody much to maintain let alone having to pay for one in the first place..but to try and save my self a little and not get skinned alive there are the very rare and good one like RG :blush2: that get me back in the good books mate :give_rose:
Oh and about the 45 it might have just been slabbed for the error and actually ended up a better grade than should but I wouldn't know sorry just puttin it out there :)
Just looked up the cert# 29288632 and the nasty green bit was there when it was graded.
To be honest I never noticed this when I bid on the coin I was fixated on the lam flaw :angel:
mate if that green worries ya that much either send it back and get it redone or send it to me as a bit of green will make it fit right in with half my other coins :angel:

The green doesn't bother me at all.
It is still better than 99% of my other pre decimal coppers :angel:
is that a challenge to see who has the best as in worst coins in their collections, think I could be up for a challenge like that :angel:
