Evening Team, trying to post and keep getting 403 error. help

Looking for 1915 and 1916 uncirculated pennies at reasonable price

I have noticed something unusual in my 1884 Half Crown as indicated in the pic attached. Note -- within the ear of the Queen there are some markings (very similar to the strings in the harp) Anyone else have one of these?http://

Yep it looks like die clashing yet another numistic word to learn striatiions

Just re checked the eye of my 1884 - dont have anything around the eye. The markings in the ear are not bag marks -very straight and clear

Help ! Going through Michael Gouby Specialised Penny Edition it has a section on Trials,Proofs and Anomolies. Well I think im comfortable with proofs which if im correct tend to be created with polished dies giving an almost mirror like field, but what is a Trial? or rather how would you identify a trial? Traditionally in the sense of trial id think this would be carried out in the design period and post design it would be put into production so even the 1st coin would end up in circulation?. Oh and what is are anomolies?

Secret Santa mentions in his varieties an obverse C1 - which is easily identified by the the fact that the "linear circle on the left, ends at the 2nd bead below the bust". Has this ever been found on a thin rim?

ok - will try to download a new pic

thanks

Jerry if you click on the photo does it not clear? so you think this is a F7?

Thats what i rread on your varieties page - hence the confusion. Im rather slow so forgive me - but the coin in hand shows that the left linear circle ends at the second bead below the bust.

Kronos what have you finally settled on?

That should read a 1860 British 1 penny C1

Gary what programme did you use to record your collection?

thanks to you both this has clarified all my concerns.

So very true

Thanks for that - I can just about see the possibility of a 6 - my astigmatism doesnt help - just going through your varieties again as you posted. Such a useful resource - have you bound any hard copies yet?

Its seems to me that though I have been collecting for what seems like forever and now I have what i would consider a decent coin collection I still struggle identifying the varieties.

Hi all does anyone still have a contact for Peter Nichols?

A member recommended that I use photobucket to provide a link to my images. So rather excited ive done the first 1 Well post creating the image and then using photobucket I now want to share it on the forum. There are the available links to do this and it recommends we use the IMG ling for forums. By clicking the Img link it says copied. So I did this came to the forum and tried to paste it - nothing pasted Ok its fairly abvious I haven't done this before but what am I doing wrong. So like the Beatles sang Help I need somebody Help

Gents looking for confirmation - this penny has 138 teeth ,Colon dots of D:G point to a gap and colon dots of F:D point to a tooth which according to Secret Santa is Gouby E. Are we agreed on this. In which case this would be a rather rare penny.

Hi Team, As some of you might know ive struggled getting decent pics of my coins. I believe I have now cracked it with my new set-up. Would value your guys input on whether this is now a decent pic

Thanks I agree need to steady my hand
