They must have spent a fortune on this new look - it's surprising what an increase in buyer's commission can do.

[What if a supernova made all women on Earth infertile?]

Scientists claim to have discovered a planet with intelligent life. This planet is populated by a number of species of flora and fauna and is effectively “run” by a race of bipeds who seem to be at the highest evolutionary level. This race is incredibly arrogant, claiming to have been created in the image of the all-loving deity that many of them worship, yet appearing to only tolerate the existence of lower evolutionary species as long as they either provide entertainment as pets or curiosities, or provide food for the bipeds, for which they are bred and killed on a huge scale. The “master race” is also incredibly hypocritical in that they go to extraordinary lengths to ensure that handicapped members of their own societies can lead a full life but have no scruples in mass extermination of other members of their species whose culture and beliefs differ from theirs or whose territory is rich in products which they desire to own. Where can this planet be ?

Presumably their website name will stay the same which makes it all rather pointless.

Could we edit the title of this thread to replace "that" word please.

[Why is Rishi Sunak held responsible for his wife's tax affairs?]

Just heard that Boris and Rishi have received fines for breaking Covid rules so they'll presumably resign in the morning, or maybe get on with the important things like supporting Ukraine ?

[Why is Rishi Sunak held responsible for his wife's tax affairs?]

But so naive - they must know that the opposition and the tabloids are continually poring over their every move, looking for headlines, like the so-called "parties" and Dominic Cummings' road trip.

My F1, F6 and F7 obverses all have the slight gap in the beads below the garter. All the letter alignments are as normal, and the B to head gap seems OK to me. I suspect that it is the standard obverse C. 

Obverse C for sure

Gouby says that the 1882Ha is 'Rare', and that the 2/1 variety (same obverse/reverse) is 'Extremely Rare'.

I should probably include the 2 1882H over 1 varieties on my rare penny website. Could I ask collectors to email me photos of their examples please.

[Peck Number required]

Looked at Peck earlier and the of two obverses it could be, KH22 and KH23, Peck says the only difference is a flaw on the first G of GEORGIUS in KH23 - I can't  seen it at all in Peck's plaster cast photograph of KH23! Perhaps other people can spot it. However, your photographs give better resolution I suspect, and I can't see any flaw on these either.

I also checked Peck and couldn't find the flaw that he referred to.

Well known variety but no decisive/definitive description.

I've sent a request that they remove it from the auction. It's a convincing fake to someone not experienced, but to us it's an obvious repro because we know what to look for.

I also emailed them and they've replied asking for further information. I sent back their images with the tooth count illustrated. 130 teeth on either side - numbers which don't exist on genuine coins. Also sent them pictures of a fake 1869 penny with the same obverse/reverse, pointing out that that an 1881 penny would have a an "aged" portrait. And referred them to my varieties website for further info.

They have now replied and are going to remove the coin from their auction.
