Penny Acquisition of the week

Recommended Posts

It certainly beats my previous specimen, a fine example that cost me twice as much!

I doubt the other will arrive before we leave for Japan and my boys wedding, so here is the Ebay link. An F25, really quite scarce in this condition, and better than my one that I paid a couple of ton for. All for about £14 inc postage.

I did not think otherwise Jerry.

But its in everyones interest either buyers ......or interferers...... to leave off the forum a few days :)

Its one of the reasons i did another thread a couple of months ago ....TRUTH OR HONESTY.

:ph34r:

Keep smiling and be lucky.

Maybe all the unidentified coins coming out of the woodwork on ebay gives hope to all, however I was recently 2nd on a recent "rarer" 1/4d (bid trebled in last 10 seconds).

Well done Jerry for your recent successes.

Triple tie ribbon 1736 Colin.Nothing to write home about so sniped accordingly.(F with eye appeal)....Typical coin overlooked by seller(who is a busy ebay dealer). I did get a nice cut John 1d Ipswich mint delivered for the price of a fish supper:)

Oh dear...I must be turning completist :o although I believe the cut halves & quarters do round off a King and mint nicely.

Neat - well played, Jerry. Just shows it often pays off to search through the foreign e bay listings. I've noticed that the scarce/rare 1861 varieties are quite often overlooked.

Bought this at Lockdale's recently - it's the Obverse D variant with A pointing to a tooth - I've been looking for one since Terry discovered it. This is Lockdale's photo as I haven't received it yet.

Well spotted! I must have looked at hundreds , and haven't spotted another one. I wish I'd kept tabs on how many, did you? These will remain quite rare, I think.

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

You've found one at last Richard . Did they know what they were selling , or was it a bargain. As to the Rarity , this is only the fifth in three years of me looking.   Terry

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.
