Here is Michael Gouby's response to the photos of the new variant of F111 BP1882K 2 over 1 overdate. He is happy that it is a new variety to be designated BP1882Kc. Jerry "Hi Jerry, Thank you for your picture of the TWO 1882 H pennies (P + p) with 2 over 1. I agree that two images that you show of date and especially of the close up do not look like my BP 1882 Ka or K b BP 1882 Ka BP 1882 Kb BP 1882 Kc BP 1882 Ma Nor do I consider that it is a later more worn stage of either. The image of Kc is extremely close to the amount of the 1 showing to the same reverse die, with obverse R – BP 1882 Ma. However, the major difference is that on your Kc there is a tiny part of the extreme top left serif showing at 11 o’clock of the 2. The 1 that shows also appears to be slightly thicker than that on Ma. All of the found examples of 1882 - 2 over 1, found so far, are with reverse die BP 1881 Hb. Yes I am perfectly happy to accept that the image that you sent me of your 1882 penny with 2 over 1 is with a new 1881 H (altered) die to my Ka & Kb and I am perfectly happy to list it as BP 1882 Kc. I am perfectly happy if you want to share this email with any of the other collectors that have been involved with the discussions on the merit of your 1882 penny – 2 over 1 as being a new reverse die. All the best, Michael"

I understand this to be near the system of the planets Xi and Kimil-Jong rotating around the sun Pu-tin. This sun is in the process of collapsing into a particularly unpleasant black hole, soon to absorb its surrounding planets. Few bodies can escape its attraction, Indi-A does not have the momentum to break away and Eee-U cannot overcome the bonds of the Gaz-prom force. Bi-den and Bo-ris appear to be falling under the influence of the proto-star forming in the Zelen-sky belt , and along with various minor planets may yet see the light. Ma-cron is an aberration, and could end up anywhere. Me, I’ve invested my future with the new God MUSK, and have become a disciple on his new world Twit-ter. I have become a twit. Nothing new there then. Mine’s a bitter. Jerry

Scientists claim to have discovered a planet with intelligent life. This planet is populated by a number of species of flora and fauna and is effectively “run” by a race of bipeds who seem to be at the highest evolutionary level. This race is incredibly arrogant, claiming to have been created in the image of the all-loving deity that many of them worship, yet appearing to only tolerate the existence of lower evolutionary species as long as they either provide entertainment as pets or curiosities, or provide food for the bipeds, for which they are bred and killed on a huge scale. The “master race” is also incredibly hypocritical in that they go to extraordinary lengths to ensure that handicapped members of their own societies can lead a full life but have no scruples in mass extermination of other members of their species whose culture and beliefs differ from theirs or whose territory is rich in products which they desire to own. Where can this planet be ?

I like that Richard, it reads very 1950s sci-fi pulp fiction. I'd make a weeny editorial change your synopsis to include more than just the one all-loving deity which inhabitants of the newly discovered planet have, for millennia, slaughtered each other in arguments over the non-provable existence of. Oh, and, in our house, the idea another living, sentient, creature should need to die simply for us to be fed was long ago dismissed as bol**cks.

My own estimation is that it's scoring - if graffiti I can't make out anything that makes sense.

Well indeed, as the vast majority of enquirers will have no idea about the change, and still be searching for DNW. They'll also have to alter their logo, which is a pity as the one they have now is neat and effective.

This unpleasant black hole , does it have anything to to with katie prices private parts AKA Katie's public parts?

In my dictionary "slabbed" is a swear word LOL

You might almost think it was deliberate that this was announced in the April edition of the magazine……… But if true, how stupid. Jerry

Can't see the point personally, as we've all got used to the conveniently abbreviated "DNW". Not many would actually say "I bought my coin at the recent Dix, Noonan & Webb auction". If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

https://www.dnw.co.uk/news-and-events/latest-news/article.php?article_id=554 Their name will change at the end of this month and so it will be very soon now. Can't say I think there is any need to. Many of us refer to them as DNW rather than Dix Noonan Webb in any case.

I reckon it would be outbursts of bad, probably manifested as war, which are overcome by good in whatever timescale, only to have recurring bad periods etc. until time runs out. Some leaders are naturally aggressive, greedy and incapable of resisting the temptation to take someone's land, resources, wealth, right to live etc as we see today. Good people can be 99% and the bad 1%, but it only takes one despot from the 1% to screw things up because of the destructive energy at their disposal. They always intend to be the last man standing in a fight.

Slabbed you mean?

As one dealer told me, this micro-incremental grading scale is just a way of making more money out of collectors. This here being a prime example.

There’s quite a few 50ps and a couple of the regular £2 issued especially around 2006 that don’t feature in any of the BU packs but put into circulation that are very affordable (if you can find them) on eBay. Through hours of scrolling and a few lucky purchases, I’ve managed to get most. I can pull together a list if you’d be interested.
