Good evening, I'm new here and I would show this penny to receive your opinion. It shares the features of a currency coin, but the colour, the relief and the die flaws makes me think of a proof or prooflike coin. It has the ship with 5 gunports. And, also: what happened to the rim of the reverse? Thank you in advance🙂

Victorian Penny Forgeries
Paddy replied to safi's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
OK - so I have copied it across: "I am not sure there are any experts specifically on Victorian penny forgeries, but there are lots of Penny experts here, who can spot a forgery a mile off! Are you looking at contemporary forgeries (I am not aware there are many of those), or the ubiquitous modern fakes? I think a new thread would be best." -

None of what you just said makes sense now as I split the post you responded to into a new topic, here: Now I understand how that feature works! -

I split this to a new topic (sorry Paddy, thought it would take your reply with it). -

can I just ask if there are any experts on Victorian penny forgeries or do I have to start a new thread?

Is there still a demand for bronze pennies?

I don't profess to follow or understand your rational, but hey, each to his own. I've always found that a low start attracts more interest and anything will eventually achieve it's current worth. If I get less than I paid, so be it and if someone gets a bargain, lucky them. I had it as BIN for £200 but no one did. -

The little spot at 7 o'clock is a stain. Still no further along, will decide to leave it as it is for now.

It has a tiny A+M on the bottom rev exergue which means its a joint effort between Allan and Moore

Historical books & movies recommendations

Have been watching the series "Tudors" these days and am almost at the end of it. Feels like a perfect introductory watch to the two movies "Elizabeth" with Cate Blanchett! Quite some tumultuous years! How does everyone like this series? Still need to buy a good book on the various monarchs! Cheers all! -

You'll have to forgive my ignorance on the finer points of collecting. You don't like the one I'm offering? I'm not familiar with the advantage or difference it makes between attributed and unattributed but would appreciate learning.
