600+ QEII Gold Sovereigns

Just after we started putting some into bags.

When we received these, they were almost all junked together in one bag, so almost all have slight scratches and bagmarks. Sad really!

It's noticeable to me that the ones that a thicker don't seem to have as rounded edges as the thinner ones in middle and a lot less shine, though that could just be flash angle

There is a simple explanation for the thickness / roundness effect, which I will go into later, but if you strike a piece of flat metal with more force, it will compress more, but the squeezed metal has to go somewhere; it tries to escape through the collar and milled edge, hence a deeper raised rim, with more sharply defined ridges; this might also partially explain the shiny effect.

I have taken measurements of some of the sovereigns, and we have more photos to follow. This might be better in its own thread, and will also find its way into a Chards blog page.The above is a crude phone photo to show Doug what is required in a pro version.

Just be careful what you do and who you say it to 

From government site

Using a crossbow (or any bow weapon) for hunting is completely illegal here in the UK. The crossbow itself cannot be carried in public and a common sense approach should be adopted when transporting a crossbow. However, It is not illegal to own a crossbow.16 Dec 2017

 

 

I think its ridiculous myself
