As a "new collector" (after coming back after 20+ years away from the hobby) I am always intrigued at the discussion's regarding what people regard as collectable and novalties. I love a bit of everything from variants to die flaws, expecially in bronze coinage which is my main avenue of collecting. I do not have many but have studied loads of images online. I would love to see more as this unusual die flaws and quirks maybe a side collection I may take up in the future. I recently aquired a reasonable 1911 penny, about VF so nothing special; to be honest I thought it was a Gouby X but as usual it wasn't. Anyway it has a nice unusual break in the "B" of BRITT so thought I would let you all have a look. Maybe of no interest to some, but I like it. Would like to see other peoples, clogged dies, etc.. as I am sure there are some fantastic ones out there.

Always good when that happens. After a while you start to get an idea of what coins actually look like based on the type of picture that's there, when I started out I thought all scanned coins were no-gos because I though they were pictures and that they look rubbish! Leaps and bounds eh? haha

..and finally part 5.

Part 4

Part 3

Part 2

Here's my collection of errors so far (part 1)

not copper but a cple of bronze medals from 1893 marriage of future king and queen. a spink and son and a city of london series.

That is an interesting coin, plus i Never thought i'd See you buy a Double struck coin. The Gold coloured one is also nice

"Trust me.. never buy a depreciating asset. If it drives, flies, floats or fucks - lease it!" 'tis the plan for the next one.

I certainly wasn't intending the post to appear boastful, so I apologise if it came across that way. And the car's perhaps only NVF given its considerable circulation, or maybe 'Bold VF for issue'... In any case, I am out of work at the moment so any funds are being used extremely sparingly until I start earning again. No coins, no cars, no art... and only a little bit of whisky

Here is the full obverse.

There's one at CGS80 going for £150 on the London Coins website - here Might be of interest to you.
