I am afraid that the raw party vote numbers mean nothing when it comes to a further referendum. Labour are not in the above chart, presumably because despite their declared policy being to leave with an “agreement” (essentially no actual change from the current relationship but to lose voting rights) in reality their actual policy is to do whatever it takes to force a general election. In a referendum a significant number of Labour voters , perhaps a third , would vote to leave, as would a smaller proportion of Liberals, Greens, SNP etc, etc. and likewise a small percent of the Conservative , DUP etc voters would select remain. The only voters that would near unanimously support their parties declared policy are Brexit, UKIP, and perhaps the ‘English Democrats ‘. Professor Curtis had it right when he declared that Britain remains split down the middle, that there is no evidence voting intentions have changed and that only a fool would demand a further referendum anticipating a particular result. All the spin is simply designed to make us dizzy. Jerry

Both not the highest grade but fill gaps and nice to look at for now:

been in the ether from 1974-2018 Decent marketing really, kinda jealous i don't have all these tools at my disposal to jack up prices

Not trying to tell everyone what to collect, just my own thoughts!

Don't worry we have the same problem with the ABC here in Australia. Gender issues, support of the Labor party ( who just lost the general election despite their support for it) , climate change, biased reporting etc. Like you say not to be trusted.

I suppose it could be die fill or a die clash on an otherwise flawless strike. It would still be a faulty striking, although the die itself would not be worn.

Absolutely. Starting with the number of numbers the last 8 can be over !

There seems to be other differences . in the picture below, the top two are both F160s, one with a small o the other the large O and with both of these the 5 is almost centred over the tooth , also both have a normal length tail to the 9. Whereas on the F161 [the bottom date of the three] the 5 is centred over the gap between the teeth, and seems to have a 9 with a shorter tail.

Precisely. For instance, from being in hand I know that the first picture below is a F160, and the second a F161. But I'm not convinced from the pic in this e bay link that the coin is a 160 as stated by the vendor. The non enlarged pic appears to suggest that it is, but once enlarged it looks like the upright E of penny is to a tooth, as per a 161, and not to a gap.

I have just realised/discovered that 1856 PT pennies have large dates and 1856 OT pennies have small dates - how strange !
