1938 Crown..Split Planchet.

[trout]

If someone was going to deliberately split a Crown you would think they would use a 1937 coin not the scarcer 1938 coin and I can't see why anyone would want to do this anyway:ok:
See if you can use a usb gizmo to take some images inside the split.
I'm hoping this is genuine :yahoo:

Oh look at RG suckin up :mocking: so what do you want sweetheart

Pay them no mind Basil, tall poppy syndrome mate :friends: I get it all the time because I'm so bloody good, well that's what I have to tell myself but am very interested to see a few more pic's :winkextra:

well excuse me
I am not after anything, I have enough of everything for this life of mine

just trying to explain that I was only being straight forward in my numismatic opinion as I feel sometimes that people's opinions in general dialogue sometimes get a tad hammered. I have collected varieties and errors for a long time and have some insight into the game

but my opinion doesn't mean I am right!! usually I am not but at least I give it a go and like I said I have had had a few split planchets on a whole coins over the years & all were jaggered on the inside of the split
this one is very even and appears to have some inside seam in the split which looks to me like metal that has been heated say, if it has been cut. it could very well have started to split and then the previous owner has helped it along
like PP asked - if the inside of the split has the rough striations then it is more likely to have been a natural split
remembering this coin is 92.5% silver - not cupro nickel or copper/bronze mix
people graffiti 1930 pennies & 1938 crowns so value often has zip to do with the buggaring of a coin for fun

:blush2: I'm sorry RG I was just stirrin mate :friends: and your opinion is greatly valued so please don't let me being silly put you off :ok:

[robbiegal]

I am home sick so maybe I have been a bit under the weather and bit more sensitive (then usual ha ha)
I must admit that I do pride myself in not soliciting free-bees in this forum so yes, took offence xxx

:blush2: I'm sorry RG I was just stirrin mate :friends: and your opinion is greatly valued so please don't let me being silly put you off :ok:

I'm upset too AJ,(LOL),accusing me of working on coins in my shed when you know all my manipulation,date changing,clips etc of coins are done in a sterile,pet free,smoke free and occcassionly beer free room of my house.:yahoo:

I have to drive my Brother to see the eye Doc. shortly so if i'm back in time will post more Pics. this afternoon otherwise Tomorrow.
Thanks for all the interest,i should have prepared all this Info before i originally posted but was in a bit of a rush.

[robbiegal]

your photos are great Basil
and like they say a picture paints a thousand words

ps they also say
the more beer - the better the errors production!! h aha

[trout]

The very existence of Beer is proof that God really Loves us :angel::yahoo:

if the inside of the split has the rough striations then it is more likely to have been a natural split

Guaranteed to be. That can't be faked.

[ausjack]

We're all good RG and hope you feel better soon :give_heart:

:laugh2: your a shocker Basil, love it mate :friends:

gee it's hard trying to get a pic in the crack so this will have to do sorry

[Fulvio]

gee it's hard trying to get a pic in the crack so this will have to do sorry

Didn't you know life wasn't meant to be easy, mate? :angel:

Nice pic of a nice coin. Tell me though... those marks on the edge... don't they look like someone tried to give it a helping hand? Not that it matters, but still..

[ausjack]

Yeah but no one said it was meant to be this bloody hard either :angel:

Yes and no as the marks don't line up when looking at the rim, there's like at least two little read lines between the marks if you were to squish it back together, the pic is like an optical illusion but yes very deceiving

[Unicorn]

.... the pic is like an optical illusion ......

:shok:

:biggrin:
