  1. Hi Richard .  I have been having problems viewing the small pictures on your headsntails site . So as I thought it was my computer giving the problems, I ask Matt about it and he seems to have worked out that its to do with where your pictures are stored . Anyway this all goes right over my head, but he has set up something for me with wordpress to view the pics, but they will ask you for permission , so I wondered whether that would be ok.  Its a brilliant sit ,but frustrating not to have all the pictures open up. If you need an explanation as to the technical bit, I'm lost, so please as Matt .  I do understand if you say no.      Many thanks Terry

      Ah Richard . well when it starts opening all the pics of hole pennies open , but all of the small variation pic do not , there are just small little boxes with a cross in the centre, and if I click onto them a card comes up asking for a password . to contact you I bring up secret santa and post the massage . Is there a better way only I don't know it .   Terry

  2. Matt. I wondered if you could help me . when I go into Richards coin reference site I find that all the pictures of complete coins open up, but the smaller pictures wont . and the little box with the cross in to press, opens to a card saying I need pass words to continue . Have you any idea why they will not open , is it perhaps that there's to much information for my computer.    Terry

      I just tried pumping in englishpennies.wordpress.com  in to google, it wanted a password , I'm not great with computers , not far off 70 you see. am I doing it wrong .    Terry

  8. Hi Richard. I wondered if I might ask you a few things.    The 2* 145, have you heard of any more being found other than the four I already know of.

    2  You list your 1967 missing waves as R8, how many of this type do you know of .

    3  I have a 1953 penny with the standard B+b [1+B  pairing, but I think it might be a matt finish, as it has a strange kind of sheen, most unlike the normal production coin.  I don't have another toned matt finish to judge it by, except a 1986 matt and polished 2p proof that's in a bright condition.  Have you heard of the possible existence of this type.         I think i might get it checked out at the mint in the summer while on holiday. Would you know who to contact about taking the coin along in person, as I don't trust the post with it     Terry

      Hi Jim  picture below of a   5-f .  Note the main on the helmet is broader , and the prominent rock where on the D type coin the signature would be. On this well worn coin it is quite distinct . If the rare type indicators are not there , I can't see it  being of any worth ,   Terry

      Jim . there's only three possible reverse types for an 1860 penny  Freeman  D   F and G   . D as in the pictured coin has  a small rock left of lighthouse , and so also has type F , but F has a rounded top to the lighthouse , with the type D a pointed top . From the picture it looks more pointed ,though it is to warn to be sure. the G type has no rock left of the lighthouse . so my best guess is a D.      Terry
