Something many of us relate to.............

I picked up this 1870 penny recently and, checking Michael Gouby’s book, I thought it was the missing date width Ad. On page 54 he references an Ac and an Ad, but not an Ad. Michael confirmed yesterday saying:- “I left the Ad reference free as I always considered that a 12 to 12.5 teeth gap would eventually be found….” and “I will keep your images for future reference……” I guess this coin might appear in future revised pages Apart from 1889’s I have not tried to collect all the different date widths, so I will be selling this coin at some point!

I’ve ordered the skip for Tuesday. I have the tough rubble sacks. Then, on Wednesday, when I can’t see the front door for Valentine’s cards, I can bag them up, drag them upstairs, and throw the bags out of the bedroom window, straight into the skip. Last year I didn’t think it through, and was stuck in the house for a week. You must know what I’m talking about….:-)

BP1870Ae - Gouby says rare.

I have one of these and noted that it wasn't recorded by Michael but never sent him the pictures. I can now classify it as Ad.
