    I have always mentioned to my wife about profits that I have made on selling duplicates. Our mortgage on our house has been paid off due to my interest in coins. I do not tend to tell her when I am buying coins, but do tell her of any profits that I make on selling them. She has her hundred pairs of shoes and anything else that she wants, so if she did complain about my spending, I probably wouldn't hear her !

    And it appears to be a different obverse die to all others that I have seen, unless it is just an earlier die state. No die crack above head and the tail of "R" of "REG" level with the base of "E". Picture Attached of known die design.

    Just don't tell the wife !

    I am no expert on silver coins, but verdigris on this scale is surprising from a high grade silver. Perhaps the coins rested on a copper surface.

    Is this inside knowledge ? can't find it on their auction website.

    The 1952 penny may have failed to sell because most penny collectors collect currency coins. The 1952 penny could be classed as a pattern, so not issued for currency. Therefore the 1952 penny may not be considered as valuable as the 1933 & 1954. The coin, if sold for ~80K was probably double what the collector owner paid for it just a few years ago.

    Don't panic Richard, you have had these thoughts before. The market for high grade pennies, especially high grade rarities is always on the up. Anyhow, what would you do with the money ? stash it in the bank at 1.5% interest. Selling would give you more time to watch the adverts on the telly !!

    I agree, value 0.00

    If my memory serves me correctly, on the earlier version of the Victorian Bronze penny, the picture of a reverse F penny was added at the back page of the book. The picture of the reverse F penny was on page 14 of the second edition.

    I too have difficulty in sorting out the halfpenny obverses. It could be an obverse 4. The amount of "O" in HONI SO is the usual identifier, so a clearer picture of this area would help identify it.
