Ah yes, it's the Spink coin.

Yes, the rim does look very flat but everything else seems OK.

Thanks Ian - did you buy it ?

What grade did they slab it at ?

Did anyone see the price that pennies fetched in the Stacks-Bowers sale ? Very high grades but unbelievable prices. See 1927 and 1895 pennies:

Or cashing out crypto gains

I think it's the younger generation that are doing that - our granddaughter's student boyfriend speculates on bitcoin whereas none of my pensioner golfing friends would touch it with a bargepole !

Plus, of course, the fact that the pandemic has seen people's bank accounts swell through lack of holidays, restaurants etc and, as the baby boomers move through their twilight years, they realise that they can't take it with them. So they may as well spend it on something that takes their fancy.

From the photo, I would be happy with the B/R, the leg of the R shows both within and outside the lower loop of the B. I have the 1861 version (F282 variety).

Could you post the pic or refer me to a link so that I can add it to my varieties site please Jerry.

I seem to remember @AardHawk did a lot of work in this area

Good idea - I've messaged him. Thanks.

Ah yes, I have his book and there's an email address inside. But I want images of all denominations.

[Decimal Coin Varieties]

I am thinking about creating a decimal coins varieties site along the lines of my penny varieties site and wonder whether there is a site(s) from where I can take good quality images rather than have to take my own photos ? Something to pass the winter months.

It's got the dropped 90 as per Gouby's book. Nice one.
