I was under the impression they are rare in any grade with only a handful known?

Ok thanks, Gouby BP1901Ab 10 3/4 teeth the center of the last one is not over the gap. The one which is not covered by Gouby similar to Ab where is the last 1 positioned? Thanks

Rare in High grade although often confused with BP1901Ab which is the normal one, there is also one not in Gouby as very similar to Ab. Terry is probably the best person to ask as the coin pictured in the book is his.

In your collection do you have a 1901 Penny, NARROW Date, BP1901Aa? How rare are these? I remember reading somewhere they are few and far between. Thanks,

I messaged them too and have just had a reply - thanking me and saying they have taken the item down.

Thankyou. Worked on the first and its' sisters and brothers. Nice Kit. And I have an EB35 tucked away next to the R1155.

Wow- radio recognition 100%!!

still to be engraved...just need to find someone trustworthy. ....... 🤔😟

Another replica penny on Ebay - I've messaged the seller but he hasn't taken it down. I hope no-one falls for it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/287481861974?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e111028.m43.l1123&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=ee1821cbf0274276908e6d80f2933171&bu=43154646029&osub=-1~1&crd=20260724145657&segname=111028

I think the coin is 9+K for the following reasons, can you let me know what you think please? Obverse: Its not obverse 7 because the first set of leaves are not nearly touching the colon after DG - Looks to have 16 leaves. - 1st set of leaves are arranged different to Obverse 8 which are more spread out. - The ribbon shows some crimping. - The nape hair seems to match up. Reverse: The lighthouse resembles most the lighthouse shown on reverse K and the date numerals are widely spaced and low in the exergue. Could you please let me know what die pairing you think the coin is. Thanks

It's expensive to ship in- you pay exide duty on it. See what I did there?

It certainly IS (both) !

I see a similar example on Secret Santa's website where the 5 looks to be doubled. Seems like there are infinite variations.

To me this looks like a short tailed 9 over a long tailed 9......in addition to a doubled 4 and a doubled 5. Groom's book mentions the 9 & 4 variations but I see nothing about a doubled 5.

So the A4 blue binder first edition (1860-1970) is not scarce or collectable?

Wow, I never knew Ever Ready made whisky! Alkaline alcohol?

🤔 yeah I get it..I have a 1930's Nickle 5 Cents the native (Liberty) Indian, it was in a poor way, I polished down the other side until blank, I'm having "Non Mortuus Tamen" added. its going to be a zip pull tag inside my Bike Jacket.🤘🏻 👊🏻

I suppose because you could and had nothing better to do? Similar to altering 1938 to resemble 1933, etc.

As do mine! Hopefully the cognac my father gave me the other day will be more ... resistant 😉

I am impressed that so many of your Whisky bottles still have contents! Mine always seem to spring a leak...

Ah! Sailor R105 made in Denmark. Nice set. 👍 And is that an Eddystone I spy! EC10 or some such.

All beer is like that Rob. I personally prefer "afters":

for me...Begs the question....Why would you attempt this?

No he didn’t Specialist edition is just 1860-1901. The Binder for sale The British Bronze Penny, you can ask what you want but £40-£50 ish and Richard Bee wanted one recently I think in here.
