NEW UNLISTED VARIETY of 1873 HALF-PENNY
Mr T replied to Bronze & Copper Collector's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
The leaves near the D:G: was the note I had left to myself but I wasn't quite sure. Nice find anyway. -
NEW UNLISTED VARIETY of 1873 HALF-PENNY
Mr T replied to Bronze & Copper Collector's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
I think it's a C# - not too sure on the obverse. -
What was it advertising?

Looking back at https://coins.ha.com/itm/great-britain/great-britain-george-v-penny-1933-ms63-brown-ngc-a/a/3105-32230.s it says that year sets (as opposed to just single pennies) were interred under new buildings. My understanding was always that it was the penny but I guess that explains the 1933 proof being from a proof set. I wonder if the under foundation stones have proof sets too and the other four examples are circulation coins.

Interesting - touching and not touching the shield? -
Standard Reference for British Imperial & Colonial Coinage
Mr T replied to JTerry3's topic in Enquiries about Non British coins
I've got Remick's book and it's decent. It doesn't go into a lot of details with varieties but that's to be expected. I hadn't heard of the Spink book - can anyone recommend? -
When do new mint sets normally get launched in the UK?

That was quick! And the article says it was done from photos not from a sitting.

Sovereign Rarities Sale, Thoughts?
Mr T replied to VickySilver's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
What 1887 penny was it? I had a look on their site and could only see a June auction. -
What caused that?

I know there aren't many half sovereign collectors but does anyone here know of any sales of/listings of/references to a proof or pattern 1892S half sovereign? I've been able to find sales or listings of all of the other pattern half sovereigns of the same era. I doesn't seem to exist in any institutional collection either.

1892S pattern half sovereign
Mr T replied to Mr T's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Thanks - I saw nothing in the Murdoch collection. I might reach out to Eric Eigner too. -
Surely they've been for sale all year and anyone who wants one has one?

1897M half sovereigns in Murdoch collection
Mr T posted a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Does anyone happen to have a catalogue of the Murdoch Collection from 1903-1904 handy? I saw on another site that three 1897M half sovereigns were financed by and struck for John G. Murdoch but no citation was given. I assume the auction catalogue is the source of this information but I couldn't find an accessible version online (I think there was a link available only in the USA). -
1897M half sovereigns in Murdoch collection
Mr T replied to Mr T's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I tracked down the catalogue in question: https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/auctionlots?AucCoId=511728&AuctionId=525399 But it makes no reference (that I can easily see) of Murdoch arranging to have the coin struck for him. -
Does anyone have an image of a DISH 504 half sovereign? David Iverson and Steve Hill's publication just has a close-up of the initials and the only image I can find is https://www.londoncoins.co.uk/?page=Pastresults&auc=166&searchlot=901&searchtype=2 which isn't particularly clear.

DISH 504 half sovereign
Mr T replied to Mr T's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Yes that's it - thank you. Did the brochure accompany a sale? I couldn't find a catalogue. edit: I see there's a listing at the end of the brochure but they're the same small images. -
Sorry wrong thread - please delete.

Nice - is it a circulation only coin?

1860 Penny Attribution Help - Die crack between 8 and 6 of date
Mr T replied to LotsofCoppers's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Looks like a Holland D* as well (sub-variety of Freeman D). Paul Holland has looked at some die cracks in his articles but they're in-depth (not just documenting the different cracks). -
New variety of Victorian Penny reverse D
Mr T replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Has anyone found one of these 1860 pennies with the two extra lines in the shield? -
Yes I just had a play with the search - it didn't return anything obvious. Lots of British West African pieces are photographed but not British pieces.

The Elusive 2002 Jamaica Proof Set Remains So
Mr T replied to VickySilver's topic in Enquiries about Non British coins
I think I found second 1982 Solomon Islands proof set (no case, just the coins) for sale on ebay for $5 or thereabouts. I had no need but the mintage is unknown (but likely less than 200). I'm sure the set would normally cost around $200. Other than that it has been a struggle to find even one of the Cook Islands or Solomon Islands rarities.
