So my pictures aren’t a great deal better but I’m delighted with this one, I can’t find a better one anywhere, not even as a plate coin, so I’d be interested to know the scarcity? Anyone any knowledge of scarcity for the provincial mints? Any thing recorded in your notes @davetmoneyer @Rob ? So Withers Type 10 barred ‘A’ with long-limbed Es, of course that makes it North 3de

I can certainly see your point Peter. The rarity and the crudity of the coin makes it appealing to me. I don't like it nearly £60,000 though.1 point

Courtesy of Richard, an 1862 Freeman 39A, 8 over 6. Very pleased.

Here's my little win from yesterday's Spink auction. It's a neat little Edward I penny, class 2a, which clearly shows the left leaf of the central fleur incomplete as a result of damage to the punch. That's my class 2s all done and dusted now!

Possibly, have a look in Michael Gouby’s book where he shows an ‘E’ probably repaired with an ‘L’, but on an F10 penny if I remember correctly. No reason why it couldn’t have been used on other dates, I suspect most dies were ‘refreshed’ for continued use in the early high production years. Jerry1 point

Another little gem didn't see anything originally as the pic was so poor but a scarcer date 1849 so as it was for pennies I bought it and it turned out to be a very interesting little Farthing indeed. Stop before C of VICTORIA 4 over lower 4 not sure what went on with the 1?

Because to invert the punch you would have to use the other side, i.e. the bit you hit with a hammer, so the repair would probably be a round or square blob a few mm in diameter depending on what it looks like - I don't know. It is pretty certain not to have an engraved inverted E on the bit you hit. If you rotate the working end it would place the bar on the right1 point

The figure you have drawn in yellow is not an ‘F’ but it’s mirror image. It is unlikely they would ever have needed such a punch as when they were repairing an incuse letter on the die they could just have used an ‘E’ punch or an ‘L’ as Gouby describes where appropriate. Jerry1 point

I have thirty five (35) 1952 sixpences at least two of which are UNC and very nice. Picked most of them up years ago. They seemed more plentiful then and you don't seem to see them much nowadays. It is hard to get one in really good condition. I did pick up an UNC although with an edge nick in 2013 and that one cost me £50 plus postage, etc. etc..1 point
