  1. Someone bagged a bargain
  2. Penny 1860 Beaded Border Trial Obverse, Gouby dies A1+b, R and I of BRITT do not touch at the bases, we note there was no example in the Laurie Bamford, Alderley or James Workman collections, VG/approaching Fine and extremely rare

    Common coin? It is as scarce as the 1862 hapenny date penny. Definitely not as scarce as the other the die letters, yet a very rare coin nonetheless.

    Breath-taking collection VS! The 1935 ‘Rocking Horse’ gold proof crown, which is coming up for sale shortly might be of interest to you.

    Goodness me!
  6. The F105 was a very good coin, I missed out too. Did LCA have a F106? That is another rare coin and well done you for getting it so cheap.
  7. Freeman did include legend varieties - example Freeman 527, only that not that many were listed/identified when his book came out. It was not until the J Jerrams’ pamphlet came out did the focus shift to micro varieties (as far as the early bronze pennies are concerned, which later cascaded to other bronze denominations). Back in the day people were still shuffling through change to spot a 1951 penny or even a 1933.
  8. 5 specimens in 1 year should only mean there are more to be found. However Rob may have a point the 1862 B over R in BRITT has been documented for more than a couple of decades yet we know of just 5 in existence. Did a forum member but the VIGTORIA?

    I might need Specsavers as I feel the reverse is in better grade. EF £1500 for me.
  10. I am not convinced the VIGTORIA is scarcer than the F103 1881H Freeman (discovery) coin, yet it sold for close to twice as much. Surely that reveals a lot about how much my personal opinions are to be respected . £1400 (nearly £1650 including premium) is a bit for a coin in such a nauseating grade, yet I must concede that the LCA description is not off the mark especially when a narrow date 1877 went for a similar sum albeit 7 years ago. " probably rarer than the 1877 Narrow date coin, of which an LCGS Fine 20 example realised £7020 in our June 2010 auction " - YUCK YUCK YUCK
  11. I won a bulk lot. With Freeman 105 I always thought it to be highly underrated and I was hoping to pluck a decent specimen this time, but at £650 (plus another £100 odd juice) I am happy to wait.
  12. Won 1 and underbidder on lot 2527. PWA did you get what you bid on?
