    Quite a house in Leeds she lives in... One of her earlier 1933's was found inside a clock, I seem to remember, and now one up her chimney... 😉

    Wonder where the next one will be discovered... Any guesses?!

    There's only one response to "one up her chimney"...

    The seller ID may be fresh but that idiosyncratic voice is familiar.

    Is this now a third 1933 penny and accompanying tall tale in as many years?

    Oh lord, it's her again. And no amount of mentioning "the misses" will disguise the fact.

    I heard this morning, on Radio 4, that they are bringing back fawlty Towers I am not sure it would be the same without Prunella Scales ( who I have to assume could not possibly be involved) 

    Big mistake, I think. And no, the last Canal Journey I saw a few years ago with Prunella Scales and Tim West she was getting pretty bad, poor soul. :(

    I’ve got a 1922 penny I’ve been told it’s rare with printing errors on it any idea please 

    You've posted in the Decimal Coins forum - hopefully the mods will move it to the correct place.

    And yes, we need to see pictures.

    Funny enough hatred of anything german lasted well into the seventies and early eighties (I remember a few old timers from the eighties that always refused to buy german made tools and cars)

    I remember the mid-70s Fawlty Towers episode 'The Germans' which totally ripped the p*ss out of that anti-German sentiment.

  6. My bet is that it's not "no H" - the H wears away before the date or Britannia, and yours is a well worn specimen (the mintmark is below the date and would have been in that area of total wear there).

    The defining issue for genuine 'no H ' pennies is that they have an obverse that differs slightly from the 1882H pennies - it might not be possible to tell from the obverse on yours, but a picture might help.

    On a different subject, I have been studying the obverse 4 missing leaf types where all the examples that I've seen bear slight traces of the "missing" leaf and a weakened linear circle above the missing leaf. The example in Michael Gouby's book, however, shows a complete linear circle:

    1413106812_1861F24missingleaflowres.jpg.a2852953965c0722b6b0f834e4b3e3f8.jpg

    However, close examination suggests that these 2 pictures are of the same coin - compare the shading and the dark spot on the right hand side. Perhaps the 2nd picture was doctored (definitely not by Michael) to illustrate what the missing leaf might look like. Michael agrees with me and intends to include a different picture in any future updates to his book.

    I therefore think that the genuine missing leaf types look like this, with weakened linear circle:

    Which is probably what would be expected from a partially filled die in that area of the coin.

    well spotted.

    Very kind - I accept your offer - I will of course send you back something of about equal value

    A pic up from the York coin fair this last weekend - almost certainly a Moore counter issued for use in schools which were starting to take off at this time due to a health interest in education in the 1850's

    Didn't he suffer a personal tragedy? I think he was very badly affected by it IIRC.
