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

First of all, it's quite lucky that I spotted this as I didn't get any prompt via email which I usually do if anyone PM's me through the forum - if I hadn't come to check my own profile for a previous message, I may never have spotted it. Did you PM me or go a different route ?
Secondly, I'm not sure why you're having problems but it's fine to get permission. I'll grant it when it comes through. As I think about it, it may be that because I've copied and pasted some images from my collection website (englishpennies.wordpress.com) which is Private into the varieties website (headsntails14.wordpress.com), it's possible that you won't be allowed to see some images. If I'd uploaded them from scratch to headsntails14 you would be able to see them. What message do you get when you can't see a particular image ?
If I want everyone to see headsntails14 I'll have to go back and upload all the images again - a lengthy process but I'll have to do it.

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

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

Haha yes, you should pander him to do it
From what I can tell, it's just to do with how Richard has put the pictures into the site, some are clickable (which opens them up on their own page or in a new page) and some are just not.
The reason some are asking you to log in is because while the pictures are posted in the headsntails site, they are being hosted on his personal site (where the picture actually lives), which is private, and doesn't allow you to view the image until you log in and have been approved by him. Basically the link in the picture is taking you to his private site which won't show.
Hope that makes sense.

Not deliberately to block the pictures, but because he already had the pictures on his first site it is 10x easier to just copy them over instead of making new pictures.
It might be quite a big job for him to do that, it would be easier for you just to have access to the other site, which I'm sure he won't mind, but it does mean you need an account at wordpress. It's not all that easy to get one though because you need to make a site first, but to sign up is free. Happy to create an account for you if that's easier, so you can just use the log in. I'll send you a personal message if so because you'll need a password and these messages are viewable by everyone.

Jerry. did you see my post on colons in more pennies on Friday, I would welcome your opinion. Also have you come across anybody else with the 1860 2* 145 tooth penny. Terry

Terry, I did see your post and have looked at many of these pennies myself. As I say on my varieties website, I'm confused by them. All the pennies with either close or small colons (or both) show the incuse lines engraved on the bun (and the almost disappearance of the teeth into the rim) which suggests they are late stages of modification of the 4 die. The suggestion is that the colons have been re-entered onto a die with missing colons (which also has the lines on the bun) but there are many different "re-entered" colon types which suggests that there must have been many missing colon dies which have had the colons added back, in varying positions. But the missing colon variety (BP1860T) is very scarce and almost certainly (?) from a single die (although I have yet to compare all the known specimens to confirm that). There are other anomalies (see website again) which to me suggests that Michael Gouby's analysis of the nature and sequence of modification may not be absolutely correct. I still want to find time to do much more work on this and will keep you abreast of my thoughts/findings.

Hi Prax, about your 1934 missing waves. is it from the Workman collection , only I have two the best being VF-EF, as I wonder as to how rare they are , and what the possible numbers there might be of this type. Terry
-
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
