BES [Bollinger Edge System]
« on: September 07, 2010, 07:08:31 PM »
Members of the forum. I am very conscious that there are rumours of a new measurement for bat edges, involving a semi mythical Queen Mother 38.61mm coin. 

Norbs, I hope I am able to do you justice with this. :o

I think I should make it clear that it is not my intention to replace the current FPotE standard [50p on the bat edge, 27.3mm] measurement, more that when a rather special cleft appears, this new measurement of choice can be used.

So by way of example, please see a rather nice bat Indian bat with a 30mm edge, as demonstrated by the use of the current FPotE standard.



I think we can all agree that this is a decent sized edge.

I am also going to show you the new BES Standard on my semi mythical SAF Genus 100 which, you will agree is a BIG bat:

Peroni reminds me of some very dark nights and sliding of a batstool at 4am after another Saturday night lock in!

Loving your revolutionary ideas on the FPotE!

Nice work - Is that another double (or in this case tripple) headed coin?

Yes mate...iv had it ages (its a year older than me) along with a few other coins in my desk drawer! seeing your one made me look at it and stuck it in google only to find out it was a 25p version. HRH is on the front of it in all her glory :)

I'm waiting for mine to come, we'll need to have a dedicated thread with a complete list of acceptable coins for edge measuring in a graded table up and running soon for the less sad members to aspire to.

I think that all chocolate coins are a big no no as they can be softened and manipulated to offer a false view of edge sizes.....
