I think the penny is nice, uncirculated but pretty ordinary otherwise, let’s generously say £200 worth. The slab, however, is very rare, you don’t see many MS67 1934 penny slabs and it must be worth at least £1200 to a dedicated slab collector, unless NGC decide to produce some more. Jerry 🙄2 points

The sharpness of the rim edge is often a good indicator. Also, Geo VI proofs usually have mirrored fields especially FDC examples like yours would be if a proof. However, it could just as easily be an early strike and thus have crisp details.2 points

Hi Can anyone tell me if this shilling is genuine please? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1763-Shilling-NORTHUMBERLAND-Rare-/255282737633?mkcid=16&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0&redirect=mobile1 point

Hi Bruce, good you were able to confirm. Yes, top FID dot does match location on my own piece, as do all other 3 sets of colon dots (see full reverse picture). I have also taken a digital microscope shot of the top FID dot; and can now see that even on my coin it is a little weaker / flatter than usual.

Very soft detail, suspicious colouration and the vendor clearly thinks it’s iffy “NO RETURNS ACCEPTED,SOLD AS PER PICTURES”. I certainly won’t be bidding. Jerry1 point

I think it is a proof then - it was the mirror-like surfaces that first caught my eye, although they never come through as well in the photos. The edge rim is also very sharp all round. It will go into my limited collection labelled as "Proof".1 point

That looks filled in hand. The inside edges of the V are not straight, but 'ragged' about half way along - consistent with the A crossbar position.1 point

This penny turned up in amongst a random group of GB and foreign coins. It looks very much like a proof example to me - am I right? Are there any indicators, other than just the quality of the strike, that can confirm or deny this? There was a Halfpenny in the same group, which may also be proof, so they may both have come from a broken set. (Sadly none of the other coins of the set were present!)
