I've just checked my own 1861 over 1 and, surprise surprise, it also has an open P, although I can't make my mind up whether it's exactly the same font as seen on my F20 and the F36 and 37 proofs. F33 1 over 1, F36, F37, F20 - it's the foot of the P that is clearly indented on the right hand 3 coins but I'm not sure about the F33. Interestingly, the F36 also has a 1 over 1 although the date is wider:

Has Ebay changed its closing process ?
secret santa replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
There are rare occasions when you have no idea what a particular rare coin will go for and you have to be prepared to make last minute decisions on how much you want it and how much you'll pay for it. Be still, my beating heart. -

Blake, you're missing out on of the few moments of genuine excitement available to a poor old pensioner like myself. -
Has Ebay changed its closing process ?
secret santa replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
As an auction nears completion, the time remaining shows in seconds and counts down before your eyes. If you've input your bid but not confirmed it, you are able to time confirmation for a few seconds before closure. But I have done this only to find that the remaining time changes and sometimes to over a minute remaining. -
Possible 1854/3 penny with crisp hair
secret santa replied to jelida's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
If they were using up old 1853 dies, it's reasonable to assume that there was more than die that got altered, and the state of the queen's hair could differ between the dies. The above coin and one that I have certainly appear to be 4 over 3 types, with stronger hair. I have now added Jerry's coin and my own coin to the rare penny site together with an updated description of the variety to include these "stronger hair" types. -

I'm relieved that other people have seen this issue, so it's not just me. -
My money's on reverse D - from the rocks either side of the lighthouse. And the remains of the W of LCW.

Nothing wrong with that - all I ask is that these individuals state that it is their opinion, and not issue proclamations as if they're proven undeniable facts. -

White, female and stale - I don't think so............................. -
I have emailed them to correct this description and also the F24 missing leaf described as reverse D. Lot 497 also looks deeply suspicious - 1841 no colon proof ???
