DNW auction live - anyone else having buffering issues?
alfnail replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Afraid not Mike, I start to think (fear) my wife is looking over my shoulders talking about her next holiday when I get to those dizzy heights.....even if she's out shopping buying some 'useful' clothes for herself! -

Thanks Mike, and well done with your two purchases earlier today. Apart from the 1847 I would have liked to improve my 1858 F/B but it seems someone else spotted those in Lot 615. Punters are really sharp nowadays. 😏 -

Can I ask why you think this may be an F74, rather than standard F73 please Mike? Looking at Richard's englishpennies site I also struggle to see what makes the pictured example (i.e. the LCA Sept 2013 piece) a proof F74 rather than normal F73. -
Wouldn't that be snow if it was minus 9C Paddy? 😎

Thanks Mike, I just kept the one with the best reverse

Mike is right they do occasionally show up. I have bought an F24, F27 and F32 on ebay in the past 5 years.... only 1 of these was spotted by other bidders... so the total for all three was only around £500.....bargains can still be found, although it is increasingly difficult with so many people now playing the game
-
Hey, I might have bid a little more if it had looked that good Terry!!
-
F24 with missing top leaf sold in group on ebay last night, cropped pictures for Richard's site unless another member won it and can do better ones.

One of the more interesting dot pennies I think is the 1853 Obverse with a small dot between the I and A of GRATIA. This exact same 'italic 5' obverse has been found paired with both a Plain Trident and an Ornamental Trident reverse. Think has been discussed a couple of times before on the forum, for example Page 18 of 'Penny Acquisition of the week'.....scrolling down past half way

Round dot with die crack.....but which was there first?
-
Really nice coin Paddy, but I'm not sure the N/Z is considered rare enough for Richard's rarestpennies website. Wasn't mentioned in the cointalk thread but the N/Z reverse is actually seen paired with two different obverse dies.....been discussed on the forum before on Page 61 'More Pennies'

Don't know if a member grabbed the 1862 penny with HP numerals on Sunday evening, which sold in a group of 9 for £143.04. Poor grade, but date very clear. I have cropped the ebay pictures in case Richard wishes to add to his site.

Please feel free to add pictures to rarestpennies if you wish Richard -
Why risk posting coins worth £580 for 61p uninsured postage? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/penny-hot-oferts/123979683837?hash=item1cddc3d7fd:g:qycAAOSwAPpdv9Re

Penny Acquisition of the week
alfnail replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Clearly the same coin Bernie -
I haven't listed many coins on ebay in the past year, because I sensed that buyers are not achieving good results nowadays, and that I may be underwhelmed..the same as Rob. I did, however, decide to put a half decent group of Victorian pennies (copper and bronze), on ebay last Thursday, finishing next Sunday. I reckon a couple of years ago there would have been far more interest / bidding by now. I may decide this is the last time I will use ebay for decent grade coins if I can't even recoup my money on this group. I will wait and see what happens with interest...…...and the next holiday in mind lol 😎

Victoria Penny 1867
alfnail replied to Fletch's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Similarly, clashing on some Victorian Young Head pennies resulted in what some collectors thought was a deliberate tie ribbon -
September 2019 LCA catalogue now up
alfnail replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Got a feeling that Jack Relph picked those up at Stroud Auctions (5/12/18) and that they were part of Alan Stevenson's collection. He lived in Cirencester and used to buy a lot on ebay with user name bargains1* before he passed away in June 2018...……....….but I may be wrong. -
A nice example of large re-cut rose with small date obverse Pete, not sure I have seen one better than that!

Not trying to tell everyone what to collect, just my own thoughts!
