Many of Michael's rarity estimates were questioned in the 1980's and 90's. Amazingly, time has shown that many of the questioned rarity estimates have proved most accurate. Well done Michael !! This is proof that your work was revolutionary and timeless. Your books and information were compiled before the internet, so with all of the many millions of bronze coins struck it was inevitable that you did not come across 100% of the varieties now known. Your number one fan, I think that the reader that knocked your work would definitely be rated at R20 !!

Hmm, and the links are to the Polish language ebay where the seller has zero feedback and expensive coins. Possibly a scam. Original poster, you've got until this evening to drop in again and say something nice, or I'll remove this just in case.

This thread is a direct reference to me "Idiot collecting ....." Bernie I would like to challenge you on the number one fan claim I hold a research degree and I can assure you that there is no better way to have conducted research on pennies except the way Freeman did. It is almost perfect. Thanks from the bottom of my heart Mr Freeman

1837 has the lowest mintage circa 30k, other rare dates are circa 150k with more common 600+k Joseph Crespo has a very decent site regarding the dates, types and history http://www.colonialthreehalfpence.net/Home.php John
