Was that the sale with several florin Proofs in it? Yes they were very high prices realised.

I was looking at ozjohn's example. Silly me, that ebay one is crappie.

Wow, you are harsh. Looks pretty decent to me.

What a beauty. Funnily enough I got a nice one from Baldwins a couple of months ago, but this is superb.

That is a shocker.

Hi there, I am no expert about these coins, but if that is verdigree, then it is at least partially copper, so probably not gold.

Very nice find there, and very little toning by the looks of it.

Let's face it, I would not believe it if a genuine 1933 penny came up for sale on eBay. Just so rare, surely auction would be best?

That does not like right at all, luckily.

It is a nice F139 2mm anyway.

I think that Dafuk would be appropriate for this grade as well.

What an idiot, i bet that he is not smiling now.

Now that would be good.

My thought exactly.

Lack of common sense maybe?

Yes indeed, I doubt if the fields are lower than usual.

Rendall Ingram has one listed as 8/6, aunc for £275. I cannot say if it is the real deal.

Nice dot.

Nice pics Larry. The first could be a double struck E over R, the second pic I have no idea what is overstruck, the third looks like E over R, the fourth is basically identical to the first pic. Just my opinions.

The English pennies website has a note about Note 18.

They are in my 2015 6th edition.

They are very interesting figures from those Auction Houses. I like the idea of a puncheon with the word "onc" being made by mistake and then worn out or destroyed, but there must have been a lot of them for that to happen over 7 years, so i do not know what to think. As for the amount of 1854 florins in your survey compared to other years, then i would say it could be because the other years with "onc" in fine condition or worse, do not get sold at auction because of the much lower value than the 1854 florin. To be honest, i had not really given too much thought how this might have happened before your post. Interesting subject though David.

Absolutely, I agree totally.

I would call that one a "Falling Scotsman"
