Just a thought ...

OK, I've imageshacked them - if this doesn't work, nothing will:- 1864 penny reverse 1864 penny obverse 1871 penny reverse 1871 penny obverse

I think that ay actually be some form of adhesive on the coin rather than a lamination of the surface, the letters do not appear to be damaged, which you would expect with lamination

Nothing mate ,maybe you could just describe them

This Noodle seems to think every coin he has is rare. This one is a bit different a............ hammered 1927 penny. 391378058635 Sorry i cant put the link up .........But is he just having a laugh

Stay tuned, I will show more coins within the next days...

Yeah .......I will remember though Bob next time i buy one from you

Rich, Thanks for responding. Glad you’ve got the coin. It makes it easy to discuss the important bits. I want to know if you have some good pics of your coin. Further do you know if your coin is a copper or bronze penny?

Morning Prax - I am the proud owner of the LCA coin. What would you like to know ? R

Morning All, I wanted to have something going about the bay 1967 heavy flan penny. Firstly the coin was sold by Lockdales of Ipswich. Next the coin weighs around 13-14 grams. I also noted that though the coin was strongly struck there are minor scruffs on Liz’s neck and shoulder. These are post strike marks which could have happened as a result of using a softer flan. The flan is Copper in my opinion and not bronze. I have not tested the flan’s metallic composition but the colour and scruffs (extremely soft nature of the metal) point to Copper. Finally there is a tiny extra bit of metal around the strike area. This could be because a slightly larger flan than intended was used. I have seen a lot of this on the early Vicky penny bronzes especially on the 1860 beaded borders. Does anyone know who purchased this lot http://londoncoins.co.uk/?page=Pastresults&auc=142&searchlot=1714&searchtype=2? I would be interested to carry out a comparative study. I would also like to hear from people what they think of this coin - Lockdales, pattern, copper, heavy flan, strong strike etc all interesting points to consider. Look forward to your replies and have a smashing weekend.

Bizarre and a tad cheeky. It doesn't cost £29.96 to drill 5 holes.

Pete, I checked my Paypal account, and it said the limit had been lifted, how that happened I'm not sure...but there was also a note that said, beware of a guy named "Pete", as he is a notorious "Late Payer". .......Before you get mad at me...I'm just kidding! Ha,Ha!

Loads of questions looked at ids .........like being with the old bill thirty years ago Not much else i can say really apart from sellers using pay pal please check . For the sake of a phone call worth being sure .....before they just suspend you. Pete. Oh and i asked if i could use your account Mike........ but they said you had already blocked me

And my penny from Pete arrived today, a really lovely 1908, slabbed by CGS, here is the link but better in the hand than the pics, so many thanks Pete, and for your generosity, definitely subsidized my collecting here! http://www.coingradingservices.co.uk/?uin=36985&page=coin_verification&Submit=Verify Jerry
