Freeman 274, obverse 5 Reverse E

I could be wrong but the brown one appears to me as obverse 4 and the other obverse 6

Haven't seen this error before, good finds! I suspect that these two coins maybe from different dies. One picture indicates the leg of R loop is inline with the serif of the I. the other coin, the loop of the R points above the serif of the I. This may be just an illusion that sometimes happens with digital photography, but full pictures of each obverse may confirm this one way or the other.

I agree, many years since I've seen one for sale on Ebay. As like waiting for a bus and two turn up together!

When watching live auctions it pays to "Refresh" your browser regularly, especially if you have been watching on and off for hours. You could be watching what appears to be the live auction but in fact is a cached view. It appears, that if you loose wi-fi for any period of time, it will resume where you left off. A couple of weeks ago I had a live auction running on one tab for about 8 hours, I was looking at other things on other tabs, occasionally going back to the tab with the auction site running "live". At about 9.30 pm the auction was up to about lot 550 and I watched it sell and go on to next lot. The lot that I was interested in was about lot 1250. At 10pm I checked again and to my dismay the auction had concluded, all 1300 lots had been auctioned. My only explanation is that I had been watching a Cached view of the auction that appeared in every way to have been "Live". If anyone else has an idea what happened here, please comment. (excluding that I must be going do-lally)

Has any member full access to the contents of "find my past". This genealogy site may possibly have information that I require. I can give information of exactly what I wish to know. According to a free search it has documents listed that I would like to see, but membership is needed to access. I am a paid member of other genealogy sites, but they do not have the information that I require. Help would be very much appreciated.

This request for help has now been investigated and concluded thanks to DaveG38

I did find a Burial at, if my memory is correct, at Rodborough Tabernacle 1832, but no other information.(no age or anything else) I believe that John lived in the Parish of Bisley Gloucestershire. bernard.workman@ntlworld.com

Thanks Dave!

Thank you very much for replying to my request Dave. Firstly, I will take the opportunity to thank you for producing the two brilliant books of which I have. I have an ancestor of which has given me a problem for ~40 years. There appears to be no record of his birth or baptism. I do not know when he died, except before 1834. The records that Find my Past may have information about: 1) Gloucestershire Wills and Administrations 1801-1858 :John Workman 1833 2) Index to Death Duty Registers 1796-1903 : John Workman 1833 (Gloucestershire) Any help would be very much appreciated Thanks again, Bernie, from Oxford UK

Die cracks match this one,

Yes, beautiful striking, such a shame about the crown.

I believe that you are correct. Another example with die faults and no crack through "A" Does this match yours?

Freeman 264 Obv2 RevC

My "A" to the right has clover leaf left of the lighthouse.

Does anyone on this forum know when the 2023 uncirculated sets will be issued by the royal mint?

Looks like an E over B, to me. Never seen one of these before!

Definately not obverse 16

I have noticed something else that was different on the last time of making a snipe bid. I placed my bid amount 30 seconds before item ended and when the confirm box appeared it requested me to type in my maximum bid again. The auction ended before I actually read the request and typed in the amount etc. Know one else have mentioned this happening, so maybe this was a glitch, or I did something wrong.

More Mickey Mouse rubbish, where's the real currency coins.

Exactly.

It might have been good at the price.

The 1933 penny for auction is definitely a proof. It was contained in a proof set. I owned a 1933 currency penny for about ten years, to me it was just a date that completed my collection of currency pennies. I never cherished this coin, it was only a George 5th penny with a different date numeral. I absolutely worship my 1860 pattern pennies and can't imagine parting with them.
