Jerry, is your coin one of the examples on my website ? If not, could I have photos please ?

Does anyone know what these "carbon spots" are actually made of ? Is it truly carbon and if so, how does it occur ?

CGS appear to have (generally) graded consistently and to a well documented standard in the past so I don't see why people should want to spend more money getting their coins regraded. A coin previously graded by CGS has a mark of authenticity that would still stand for me as a collector. The real problem seems to be the inability to verify that grading without charge in future or to view their library of graded coins. I guess the "Hall of Fame" feature will also bite the dust. I'm certainly glad that I never got any coins graded by them in the past but I don't think that anyone who did should feel that they have wasted their money.

I've been sat at my PC all day upgrading from 8.1 to 10 and it's finally finished after about 5 hours ! If anyone has got some important tips on using W10, please let me know. I'm sure I'll be finding all sorts of problems in the coming days.

Nice one Terry - it's good to have someone who keeps finding these new variants for us to go searching for.

Love this weather - the golf ball goes for miles on rock hard fairways. Stenson's got nothing on me !

Thanks Terry - your surname should be Eagle-eye rather than Eagleton

I've now added 1909 F169 to my rarest penny website and would be pleased if collectors could let me know of further examples.

Spink 2016 (51st edition) Page 491 has the following values:
1897 VF-£3; EF-£30; UNC-£95
1897 dot VF-£100; EF-£500; UNC-£1600
Hope this is what you wanted, Paul.

I, too, have an F13 with these repairs,

I agree Jerry but with the probable thousands of F10s around the world, we aren't going to get this analysis in a hurry. The fact that the new 2*+D is only (so far) found paired with reverse D* (curved rockline) suggests that it was not minted in huge numbers but then the fact that 3 of the known examples are around Unc suggests that there may be many of them, unless they were early strikings at a time when people were putting away shiny examples of the new-fangled bronze coinage ?

40 minutes ago, terrysoldpennies said:Richard one coin I consider to be much rarer than the R9 given be Freeman is the 1909 F192 2+e , I do think its rare enough to be on your list Terry
You may be right Terry - I'll go through the records and have a look at how many 2+E (F169) specimens have been sold.

My system of recording rare penny transactions is not foolproof by any means - I hadn't logged the A Scott 3 plumes coin but I've now been back to Spink's website and retrieved the pictures and will add them to my website. Please do keep pointing out omissions as that's the only way that I'll build up a pictures of the populations of these rarities.

I update the rare penny site every time I come across a new specimen. This one will go up when I receive it and photograph it.

Hi Terry
Lockdales didn't know what it was and their estimate was £20-30 but someone else knew as they bid me up to £130. Time will tell whether it was a bargain.

This is only the 5th one that I've come across since Terry announced it so they must be reasonably rare, as you say.

In my opinion Spink have never been the same since he left them and there must be a danger that Baldwins may go the same way.

Please don't start "Coin Collectors Anonymous" - my collection database contains numerous source entries of "CCA" (Croydon Coin Auctions) and I can't face amending them all !!!
