A bargain !

I still maintain that one can't tell whether a coin has been "cleaned" or not from a photograph. Photos can differ dramatically according to the technology and lighting that are used to take them.
None of the coins pictured above look particularly different from many other of the London Coins photos.
There will never be a substitute for examining the coin in hand. If in doubt before buying or bidding, check that you can return the coin if not satisfied.

I bought the F79 in this week's DNW sale. It's virtually BU.

The 1869 penny was described as "wiped" in the catalogue. What exactly does this mean ????
I can "wipe" my brow or I can "wipe" all trace of something. Another ambiguous term.
-
yes, that was a nice overdate - I had it down as a possibility but drew the line at the F6A and the F79.

It certainly looks very nice in the DNW photo.

They all have denominations:

Lot 556 was a F79.

Mike - the Freeman 7 went for £500 hammer - it was the nice F1 that didn't sell, surprisingly. I expect your 7 was a typo.
The 1864 was a good buy - nearly went for it.

When I saw there'd been another response, I thought that maybe I'd got a sensible reply...........................Silly me !!!!

"cleaning" is a dangerous word - does it mean the careful removal of lumps of dirt or grease or is it the artificial enhancement of lustre ? A more descriptive word would be more useful.

Not the greatest photo but looks like an R or S (I'm not convinced there's a difference between the 2 varieties).

I fear that my wife will not support the installation of this device because squirrels are so fluffy and entertaining.

1 - We've been in the same house for almost 20 years and never previously had trouble with squirrels digging up the lawn. They've always been around, leaping through the trees but this winter they've decimated my lawn and they're still at it, nearly every day.
2 - I've had a pond for almost 20 years and never had a problem with duckweed but this spring it's appeared for the first time and doubles in number every day. I fish a lot out with a sieve every few days but it comes back even denser.
Help !

Not a lot, I venture to suggest.

5 hours ago, 1949threepence said:So from a purely technical standpoint, if you got the 13 lots at exactly your bid amount, that would surely indicate 13 others bidding an identical sum to you, but after you made your bid.
Not necessarily - I'd interpret it as 13 other bidders having maximum bids one increment below Mick's. A bit of a coincidence but if the bids were around the estimated price, then not altogether unlikely in my view.

As I posted last week, I secured a lot at £140 below my maximum bid. And every time I've attended their auctions (literally dozens) it's appeared to be done fairly.
But, who knows ?

Looks like another example of police brutality to me. Or, at the very least, indecent assault.

£600 for a worthless 1900 penny, and that's not the worst bit - economy delivery is a mere £800 !!!!!
What planet do these cretins inhabit ?

Yes, we had the Pfizer jab and had no side effects from the 1st jab but after the 2nd I had a very sore arm for a couple of days and my wife was quite poorly for 2-3 days.
Still, small price to pay.

In Spink's Coins of England (Decimal Issues), your specimen (with obverse by Ian Rank-Broadley and without denomination) is recorded as H29 and, as Pete stated above, it was issued in the various Royal Mint folders.
Coins with obverse by Jody Clark are recorded as H31, also without denomination although the Battle of Britain 50ps struck for circulation did contain the denomination (50 PENCE) .
