I picked this up a few months back without researching it and got lucky! D&H Warwickshire 36 RRR

Good to know. Well done both on your won lots.

I bought 2 lots as well, n lost others. The successful lots were 4-5 steps below my max bid this time.

Well i won two lots at the weekend, both well below my top price that i submitted. Missed out on one other, but happy with the two.

Baldwins sold a possible 1844 "proof" penny which they said they didn't think was a proof, just a well struck currency, in the late 2000's. I don't think they exist, unless one turns up of course! Peck didn't see one and I think he was just going on an old reference in his footnote (again from memory, I don't have Peck to hand). Adams also didn't have the 1841 copper and the 1853 bronzed proofs. Now that Montagu mentioned the silver 1841 penny, that must be one of the biggest regrets of my (numismatic) life to miss out on it (I think it's the only one in commerce) when it came up in the Glenister Spink auction in 2007. Way out of my budget then, but if only I'd pushed the boat out - it went for £4,000.

I was lucky enough to pick this one up on the Bay , unattributed as an F763 [ Gouby A1+B ] [ Bulging Eyes ] . Its the same as Example 2 On Richards site . I know Its a little battered, but so hard to find in any condition. I also note that both the Reverses on the Gouby A1+B and the A+B are different in that the date width on the A1+B is wider.

I didn't get the lot I was interested in. Only out by a factor of 6x.
