Ebay's BEST Offerings

[Ebay's BEST Offerings]

I often get the same sort of results but, of course, when you include them in a Word document or on a (Wordpress) web page, you can drag them to be the same size.

Managed to get an 1831 proof penny (the commoner type with the reverse inverted). It is true to say there is a small but visible edge knock on the obverse side, but that apart the coin is immaculate.

Any reason why you don't crop your photos Mike ?

[DNW changing names.....?]

I worked in the development of I.T. systems all my life and to see something this poorly tested really annoys me. It may not have the importance of the Royal Mail Horizon system or an Air Traffic Control system but if they're blaming the lack of rigorous testing on tight deadlines (set by themselves) they should be ashamed. And it doesn't say much for the level of respect they show to their customers.

End of rant.

The more you look through this website for particular collections/coins etc, the worse it gets. It really is appalling.

I hope someone from DNW is reading this thread.

[DNW changing names.....?]

Just tried the archive function - clicking on a previous catalogue brings up............nothing. Don't they test these things before going live ?????

[DNW changing names.....?]

The DNW site was one of the best coin websites - very quick and easy to use. Excellent archive options.

The new site is (currently) several steps backwards.

[DNW changing names.....?]

Their new website is a disaster. It runs like a dog, has no option to increase the number of items per page and has no option to select a sub-set of lots (e.g. pennies) from an auction preview listing. They're not doing themselves any favours.

[DNW changing names.....?]

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

Ian, can you send me photo of reverse please.

[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 ? 

[DNW changing names.....?]

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

[Grading has gone to shit]

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

Ian, Jerry and any others

Could you please email me photos of your 1882 over 1's for the website.

[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.

OK - I've lost track of which is which now.
