1822 Farthing D over D in DEF on reverse
Peckris 2 replied to coinkat's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
You wouldn't get anything in your Inbox (the envelope symbol up top) but you might get a Notification (the bell symbol). -

Peckris 2 replied to coinkat's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
If you prefix a predec member's name with @ it highlights their name - @Rob @Peckris 2 @coinkat. I don't know if that generates a Notification (above)? -
1951 Crown- Type I and Type II reverse
Peckris 2 replied to coinkat's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
Yes, there is an overall lack of sharply clear detail on the Type I, not only in the areas mentioned. Just one thing : did the Mint also sell their crowns in the Festival of Britain cardboard cases? I appear to have one such that is apparently Type II -

Pictures were also missing (at first) in the 1951 Crown topic. It doesn't hurt to remind members that asking us to comment on detail description needs a relevant picture! -
1951 Crown- Type I and Type II reverse
Peckris 2 replied to coinkat's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
Another difference is the horse's head - much more detail on the Type II I think Rob may have the answer : the dies used at the Festival of Britain may have either been a different engraving, or were allowed to wear more than the Mint equivalents. -

If it looks like fake news, if it walks like fake news, if it quacks like fake news...

1951 Crown- Type I and Type II reverse
Peckris 2 replied to coinkat's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
I have several but they're scattered, I also have a 51 proof set. I don't have the manual dexterity these days, but if you get no other replies I'll try and look a couple out. -
1951 Crown- Type I and Type II reverse
Peckris 2 replied to coinkat's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
Yes, I can certainly see those differences. Could the Type II be from the proof sets? If Type I is vastly more common then that could be the reason. -

Your attachment isn't. Nor is the link to PCGS world coin forum. FWIW I have not seen any real difference, but is this the proof you're talking about? It could be a heavily processed image. -
John Jerrams' book on Early Bun Pennies
Peckris 2 replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Do these also apply to the earlier booklet he sent out in the late 90s? -
I'll go £95 [If the seller is reading this, the words "I'll go" under no circumstances constitute an offer to purchase...]
-
I've dipped for 5 seconds with only a slight loss of lustre.

I didn't. Wonder if he has a predec app ?

Penny Acquisition of the week
Peckris 2 replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
You've been pencilled in for a guest appearance on "Fun With Flags". -
Yes, I have that one - a very sobering read! It recognises the 'key dates' of the time, but none of the (e.g.) scarce 50s cupro-nickel which, IIRC, emerged later in the same year as CYC was published.

And today's "Fun With Flags" is being presented by a special guest, Secret Santa... -
Yes, that's the book I meant. The actual Check Your Change hasn't existed since predec days, though I believe Chris did borrow the title for the first few years of his decimals book?
-
I'd rather recommend Chris Perkins' Check Your Decimal Change - Spink are absolutely way out in their decimals pricing.
-
It's possible that perhaps one was produced but never used at the time? Remember that in 1858, having unexpectedly found they needed to continue copper for a while longer than previously thought, they must have been scrabbling around for old dies to use up which would explain the huge number of varieties for the year.
-
They can order CURRENCY coins in sealed bags, but not collector coins.
-
I don't think you do, except for unusual stuff like the Brexit 50p?
-
Not all outrageous - there's an AU 1907 shilling for £75, and an UNC 1910 halfcrown for less than it's been in Spink for years.
-
Yes, I was only being strict and technical. I've even received coins in change from a shop that I'd personally class as BU. However, I'd still rate banks as the best bet.
-
Technically, a coin is 'circulated' as soon as it leaves the conveyor belt and shovelled into a Mint bag for distribution to the banks. However, banks are the place to ask about coins that have just been taken from a Mint bag.
