Hi I pushed the boat out last week and bought an 1858 Penny, 8 over over 7, for just over £12 It reminded me that I thought I had some other examples of Penny "something" over "something's." I had a quick look yesterday (now I have the microscope) and found an 1865, 5 over 3 (most likely would have come from an old coin album) It's very clear but I don't think its anything unusual - just wanted to check In the 2nd image you can clearly see the 3 hiding behind the 5, with a tiny bit of the 3 sticking out of the back of the 5 at the top Very Best Regards Richard

It is the bottom of the leg of the 7, there is an illusion that the leg of the 7 comes down the left of the void of the 8, when in fact it comes down the right side and aligns perfectly. Jerry

Common name is cup of gold a very vigorous climber of the tomato tobacco family Solanaceae. I haven't room for it although you can buy the plants in Brisbane and I grew one at my last place. It's a very hardy plant. Flowering at the moment is Angel's trumpet, brugmansia suaveolens another in the Solanaceae family.

The main reason is and may be wrong is that they don’t know them , although will do but an extra charge.Problem with the only two big graders is they have done over 150 million coins worldwide of just about every denomination known and nobody knows everything about them all.I used to send quite a few to ngc some I had the Freeman number on but only occasionally as not cost effective intending to sell them in the near future and only had varieties done in high grade.

Hi, Just going through a bucket of circulated pennies. I havn't gone through so many in ages. Two more bags to sort out. Mainly George V (someone really liked collecting 1926 for some reason!) First pass through = my best find is a 1902 Low Tide in decent shape (so once I've checked it - it will upgrade my current one) for a circulated penny (not rare or probably even scarce but normally I find them quite worn). Others include circulated / worn KN 1918 and 1919 (loads of GV H pennies, to be expected) and odd George 6th Halfpenny (almost went into the dirty coin bag) which I might share. Anyway in the meantime thought I share close up of the 1858 8 over 7 Penny off ebay . When it arrived because of the light I just couldn't see it - but once under the microscope its quite clear Very Best Regards Richard
