Has Ebay changed its closing process ?
secret santa posted a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I've noticed recently that my customary process of submitting my bid and confirming with less than 10 seconds to go mysteriously brings up another few minutes of bidding. Has anyone else noticed this and can they explain how and why it works like this ? -

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. -

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 ???

Is this a mule 1860 Penny?

Is this a mule 1860 Penny?
secret santa replied to DarkSithLord's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
No, it is obverse 4 with LC WYON below the bust and obverse 4 coins tend to have quite a narrow rim with short teeth that can appear rounded like beads but true beaded obverses have the circular beads well clear of the rim. Take a look at: https://rarestpennies.wordpress.com/1860-f8-mule/ -
Can someone please explain the difference in the legend at the lower left between these 2 coins. also, one has a dot after the date,

Thank you very much - that's really appreciated, and so useful.

Thanks Rob. I bought a 1552 crown myself many years ago (Lord knows why) and have only just noticed the variation in different examples. Spink just pictures a single design and the various examples that I've seen in auction never seem to differentiate between obverse or reverse designs. Are they all more or less as common as each other, to the best of your knowledge ? And is the Lingford catalogue accessible online ?

But you have to have a lot of time and patience to trawl through them !

Help Request - Is this an rare 1881H Penny variant?
secret santa replied to DarkSithLord's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
My website states quite clearly that F103 has obverse M with 5 teeth from R to I and so your "suspension" is incorrect. -
