In response to all the messages I''ve received about the 1934 penny I thought perhaps I should post this information on this thread for the benefit of all. First off, Terry, congratulations on the 2 no wave 1934s that you possess, it’s a fairly rare coin. The coin I gave for grading is not the one from ‘The Workman Sale’. Mine is the 3rd coin that I am aware of for this variety. Here is a list of all the 1934 no wave pennies that I know of a) Workman sale Part II lot 107 (XF) – fetched £500 + bidder premium (25th Nov 2010) b ) A forum member (perhaps Scott?) has a 1934 no waves penny on his Omni site (VF) – no price info (2011) - http://www.omnicoin.com/coin/996048 c) My coin acquired from The Lymington Saleroom (VF) - £400 (2013) d) Terry’s specimen (VF ) – no price info (acquired ???) e) Terry’s specimen (XF ) – no price info (acquired ???) The UINs for the coins I gave to have slabbed are as follows, though I’d doubt the pictures have been fed into the database yet 0038916 – 1875 Cannon Ball – F http://www.coingradingservices.co.uk/?uin=0038916&page=coin_verification&Submit=Verify 0038917 – 1862 VIGTORIA – Fair http://www.coingradingservices.co.uk/?uin=0038917&page=coin_verification&Submit=Verify 0038918 – 1934 No Waves – VF http://www.coingradingservices.co.uk/?uin=0038918&page=coin_verification&Submit=Verify PS : My holiday season starts in a week or so and I won’t be able to respond in timely fashion. But drop me a mail for anything urgent and I will respond when I am in a wi-fi hotspot, which could be once a week or so. Enjoy.

Edges not there and not quite as crisp as necessary in devices (see B's breast for example). Not proof sadly.

Prax, do you have that sort of information on other/all rare coins ? It's the sort of thing I was trying to pull together for the rare coin census.

Beautiful coin, but I don't think it's a proof, unfortunately, Matt. Might be a specimen strike, however.
