It may be rare in top condition, though I doubt it would reach your criteria overall. Here are my two, though the second might already feature in your records having once been sold by LCA I think. Jerry

Sorry - it got sent before I'd written anything. I sold a Bramah 25c through Spink last year - nice one, quite lustrous - £440 I think. You don't see many of them around, but not a very exciting coin for me as no-one's worked out the under-figure yet as far as I know.

Not resolved - watch this space.

Here is mine bought privately February 2017. You may already have it, but If you do happen to want a better pic, Richard, let me know and I'll photoscape it.

Thanks for the pics, Jerry. I've taken a second look through auction archives and I've now recorded 16 examples, most of which are a decent grade, so it looks as though it may only be scarce rather than rare but almost certainly less common than Freeman's R13 would suggest.

I only really started looking at them with lockdown, so early days. Between us we should ramp up the prices! Jerry

Yes i agree Jerry and like plenty others IMO should only considered rare in high grade.

A MAN'S GUIDE TO TOOLS DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it. WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, 'Oh damn' CIRCULAR SAW: A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short. PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters BELT SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs. HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle... It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes. VISE-GRIPS: Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand. OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race. Its best use is for igniting new seat covers. TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity. HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper. BAND SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminium sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge. ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect. PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads. FLATHEAD SCREWDRIVER: A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms. PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50-cent part. HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to make hoses too short. HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent to the object we are trying to hit. UTILITY KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use. SON OF A BITCH TOOL: Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling 'Son of a bitch' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need, and at times must be retrieved from across the road.

It is somewhat strange that Trump would leave Biden a "very generous" letter after refusing to even refer to his name in his final speeches. This has been widely reported by many news channel including the BBC. The Daily Mail just collected some sarcastic attempts at guessing the contents of this letter. Biden said he would not reveal the contents of the letter until he has spoken to Trump. I wonder what would Trump say if the letter is actually a forgery and written by someone else. Yesterday was indeed a very special date that so many people looked forward to.

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

You said - your own words! - that the RM did NOT officially notify you about the recovery!!!
