    Does anyone know where this was published?
  2. Mr T
    Out of curiosity is the image at http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/pics/pen5.html of a real 1954 penny? I only ask as I was intending to count the beads but given it is described as being anonymously donated I wanted to be sure it wasn't just a modified 1953.
  3. Mr T
    Thanks all for the input. Apparently there was a sale of it in 1983 at least.

    New undiscovered 1860 obverse die

    Mr T replied to terrysoldpennies's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.

    Where does he say this? Right you are. I feel like there could still be some undiscovered varieties now...
  5. Mr T
    Hm, not sure. I searched their collection online and couldn't find one, and I thought it was privately owned but I'm not sure.

    New undiscovered 1860 obverse die

    Mr T replied to terrysoldpennies's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.

    So, just going through and trying to make sense of all this - if the new obverse die is called 2* then the coins that exist are: 1860 2 + B 2 + D 2* + D 1861 2 + D 2 + F 2 + G 1862 2 + G @rashenly2 do you know if this new obverse die occurs with both reverses D and D* as described by Paul Holland?

    Looks like it was struck through a lamination.

    No worries.

    Mint error or post mint damage?

    Mr T replied to Nordle11's topic in Free for all

    Looks post mint but bits of it look like lamination. Hard to say.

    1863 penny.....

    Mr T replied to bluebenz1's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    Why is that? They didn't do the dates themselves did they?

    New undiscovered 1860 obverse die

    Mr T replied to terrysoldpennies's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.

    How about the obverse 2 on 1862 pennies?
  12. Mr T
    The curved/flat based letters occurs on Victorian silver too, as well as Australian pennies. I think it's got to do with metal flow, possibly during working die production. It's a smokescreen to lure people away from looking for that new obverse D !!!!!! There's a new obverse?

    Is collecting varieties a new thing?

    Mr T replied to Nutsaboutcoins's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.

    Not sure - can't check just now but check in one of the documents at the end - some of the later issues have a separate document for short articles and plates I think.

    Is collecting varieties a new thing?

    Mr T replied to Nutsaboutcoins's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.

    Someone was looking hard at bun head pennies as early as 1907: http://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ/1907.shtml (look for "The bronze coinage of Queen Victoria").

    Any early advice?

    Mr T replied to mavmd's topic in Beginners area

    Very much so. Collecting circulating coins is good for maintaining progress.
  16. Mr T

    Any early advice?

    Mr T replied to mavmd's topic in Beginners area

    My advice would be to make a book your first purchase, and definitely start at the inexpensive end first so if you do make a mistake it won't be expensive. Looking back at some of my first purchases, I probably wouldn't have made them knowing what I know now but it's all part of the learning experience. For me I think that browsing this forum and ebay fairly regularly imparts a sense of what is a reasonable price and what isn't.
  17. Mr T
    Michael Gouby's book on the subject is quite good in that it provides large clear pictures of each obverse and reverse in their entirety.

    Clubs and societies

    Mr T replied to Nutsaboutcoins's topic in Free for all

    I'm not a member of any societies, partially because I feel committed enough as it is, and partially because I like the sort of anonymity that the Internet provides. Societies do good work though, especially with their journal production.
  19. Mr T
    Type the URL, then highlight it, then click on 9th button along on the second row (the chain links with the green plus) then paste in the URL. I think.
  20. Mr T
    Echoing the sentiments of others - indescribably good. You should write a book. Any more details than what we got in the thread about it?

    Coin Values

    Mr T replied to richtips86's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries

    I'd agree with this sentiment that the unpopular denominations are undervalued, but being unpopular they're probably going to stay undervalued.
  22. Mr T
    They're faking these now too?
  23. Mr T
    Sorry, that's what I meant. Anyway, it's certainly good that numbers like 1475PP are a thing of the past.
  24. Mr T
    Didn't even realise there was a new edition - still, ordering by denomination and renumbering both sound like good ideas.
  25. Mr T
    Lovely coin, and a very comprehensive description too.
