Bust 3F Reverse is Large Flan BA-a with lions 20 and lis 8 obverse is 332 legend, with one complicating factor for me, that the rose looks oddly like the large rose 4 rather than the smaller rose 5 we would expect for a large flan obverse??? if we agree the rose is 5, your coin is BCW BA-1B:a But I think it’s a mule BA-3B:a

"and why not?", as Barry Norman would have said.

No problem with this one, 1561 large flan issue (15mm) S 2564, don't have my threepence book to hand but will get a better id later

Does this help?

...and this is another one that concerns me - by the picture the same coin listed twice? Does not mention stock photographs, so you could end up with anything! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GEORGE-IV-COPPER-PENNY-COIN-DATED-1827-SCRUFFY-BUT-SCARCE/372260330937?hash=item56ac71ddb9:g:uhAAAOSwe1xauirl https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GEORGE-IV-COPPER-PENNY-COIN-DATED-1827-SCRUFFY-BUT-SCARCE/372260334601?hash=item56ac71ec09:g:uhAAAOSwe1xauirl I know it is easy to do, but I see a lot more of these than just the occasional accident would explain. I have seen one seller who always seems to list his stuff twice - usually at very different start prices. I suspect he cancels one auction towards the end when he works out which one is going better.

for the provincial mints Bristol is the commonest, then Lincoln followed by York and Berwick and then Newcastle the rarest

Only in the world of slabbing is 'conservation' not cleaning. When I do the washing up after a meal, do I conserve my plates and utensils? Of course not, I clean them. I remove all the crap from the surfaces using water and a detergent without scraping away the surface of the plate, and so it has been cleaned. Vive la difference.
