A 1921 F191 missing waves finally arrived from the US. Not really a variety but the first coin that I've bought for a while.

It was a million to begin with. Then reduced to 180K for a chip shop. Then reduced to £5 start and sold for a bit over £12 from memory.

Well I've had a stroke of luck........a guy was selling most of the entire series from 1967 (didn't include Nov & Dec 1966, but I've already got them) through to February 1992. I didn't need most of it, so made him an offer for the ones I did want, which he accepted. Received today. There were two missing, potentially three. July 1978, the fortnightly edition from 8th to 21st February 1980, and possibly one from 4th to 17th April 1980. This was advertised in the previous fortnightly edition as on sale from 4th April 1980. But then the next one appearing was a monthly edition for May 1980, so I'm assuming that was the one which appeared on 4th April 1980, replacing the advertised fortnightly edition. In that edition they said that the continuing issue of a fortnightly version was no longer viable due to of lack of demand. So I now need:- July 1978 Fortnightly edition 8.2.80 to 21.2.80 March to May 1990 July to October 1990 January to February 1991 April to May 1991 October to December 1991 ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** If anybody wants them, I now have as spares:- January 1982 June 1984 December 1986 June 1987 February 1988 January 1989 June to December 1989 (including two for September) February 1990 June 1991

What? The fifty shillings?

You'll struggle with some of the hammered even if you get close with the milled. This one isn't going anywhere and the other is in the BM. It's not the only type you will struggle to get.

Don't forget the conversation I had with Graham Dyer a few years ago as outlined in this thread. http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/12611-an-interesting-conversation-regarding-oddball-mint-strikes/?tab=comments#comment-171284

It is a 1966, described as an error obverse, designated obverse M which was designed by Cecil Thomas for the Mauritius quater rupee.

I just got lucky, chaps. Also, I've been waiting a very long time. It was expensive, but still a very fair price for something as good. They are astoundingly difficult to locate in high grade, especially as high grade as this specimen. Don't think I'll need to upgrade anytime soon.

Very nice. I am not jealous at all.😁

The slabbed world is losing all sense of perspective here. It's bonkers. They would have been better off leaving the coin out and just include the label. $825 + premium and counting. https://coins.ha.com/itm/great-britain/world-coins/great-britain-commonwealth-1-2-penny-nd-1649-1660-ms65-ngc-/a/3089-32681.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515 Or something you would struggle to get more than £200-250 for.............
