1 pointThis coin is almost certainly genuine. I have a few of this issue and they pretty much always look like this, although you occasionally see them with a nice gold tone. Eastern Polish/Belorussian soil is very acidic, so uncleaned examples from soil often have ugly patina which is better lost IMO. As per mrbadexample they were minted in the millions and can be bought wholesale for a few quid each.

1 pointThis is what was under the crud- still a horror... That auction is odd- I've told the guy that he's already sold it but he isn't listening....

1 pointI think that issue of Coin News was where I first learned of M.R.'s association with the coin.

1 pointTalking about that 1952 penny, I just found an interesting snippet from the November 2018 Coin News. Can't copy and paste from it, but here is a screenshot:- No, can't do a screenshot as it's too big. Here is a photo instead:-

1 pointFor those who have not yet read the latest issue of Coin News, there is an excellent article written by Richard Sessions on the rare George V pennies of 1922-26.

1 pointLooks ok (albeit cleaned) to me. Polish poltorak (3 polker). Cheap as chips and plenty around.

1 pointJust added this one to the collection. Nothing spectacular but does have some interesting doubling on the letters on the surround. I am interested to know how this has come about, see pictures. How does this occur? Any explanation or theory on how this may have been struck etc, please. There must be someone out there that can explain it to me.

1 pointIn this example, with the legend, incurved letters, and bifoliate crown (that’s not one of the easily identifiable Ed II crowns), it’s a no-brainer for Class 10. With Class 10, for me at least, I need to then sit down with a bit of paper and wade my way through the resources to determine and feel happy with the sub-class...it’s a pig to get right otherwise, for me at least. The rest of the series is easy blinkin’ peasy! 😛

1 pointEdward I class 10, Robert Take a browse around this site, it’s the best online resource there is. If books are your thing, the best of those are the Galata Guide to the Pennies of Edward I and II by Bente and Withers https://www.ukdfd.co.uk/pages/edwardian-Pennies/Edwardian Pennies P1.htm

1 pointThanks Mike- it was, up till then, the most I had ever spent on some pennies, and I worried for days that I was wrong and going to be sleeping in the shed......
