1893/2 penny

[Rob 3,002]

Hi.

Please can somebody post a close-up image of the overdate if they have an example.

Thanks.

[azda 973]

Ask John Stephenson, i think he has one

Interesting that there should be an overdate at this late stage in the bronze series, when - if you study Freeman - there was a great stability from the early 1880s onwards. The 1893 farthing also has a few variations. It makes me wonder, was the original plan to bring the OH in for bronze at the same time as gold and silver? It would make more sense, as having a 'staggered' introduction of the bronze redesign is a bit odd to say the least, especially when you think it perpetuated the young bun head to an absurd degree. Perhaps the OH bronze design was postponed through pressure of timescales, then they would have had to bring in proper dies for 1893 and 1894.

Typical, always the rich that get the goods.

[Accumulator 52]

Now that you don't collect pennies Rob, I'll offer you £40!

[davidrj 194]

Just bring it to the club on Monday Rob, and I'll take it off your hands

[Peckris 579]

It's probably so hard to spot that I can easily convince myself I don't want it.

It's probably so hard to spot

Of course, you do all realise that I will shill your bids and win by that all important penny.

Actually, it will go in time because I bought it for resale and for the decent obverse strike which tends not to be a feature of later YH bronze. I only gave the reverse a cursory check, but, c'est la vie.

Dear Ebay police, this letter is to tell you that accumulator, ColinG and Azda are all the same person and are shill bidding on a penny coin owned by Rob.

Right, now their taken care of - £5.

Dear Gollum,

Unfortunately, whilst it states in our official rules that people bidding under different usernames is forbidden, we dont actually give a flying duck as at the end of the day, the higher the price, the more we make on our scandalous charges - especially on PayPal! As such, I'm afraid that the bid stands at £45.01 with Azda.

However, this sounds "A* UbEr-RAR, Specil Edtion All Coletors MUST HAVE - Way beter than AUNC+++++!" so I'll bid £45.015

Yours,

eBay Police
