One thats arrived today off eBay and much better than most. 1909 DOT.

Blimey, Pete…considering the number of eyes that fall upon the eBay pennies, you certainly manage to winkle out your fair share of the gems!

It’s of course 1678 and not 73 - I think the Maundy money was first of the press, so generally the better pieces but, in practice, I believe there to be little/no difference as far as collectors of Maundy are concerned - they still of course aim for the very best pieces. I was looking at some completed items on eBay, a lot of them were holed.

This is what happens when you've not noticed you did ‘Flip horizontal’

Thieves stole a £2.8m solid gold toilet from Blenheim Palace in an "audacious raid" which took just five minutes, a court has heard. The toilet was plumbed in and fully functioning as part of an art exhibition at the Oxfordshire stately home in September 2019. Michael Jones, 39, from Divinity Road, Oxford denies a charge of burglary. Frederick Sines, 36, also known as Frederick Doe, from Windsor, and 41-year-old Bora Guccuk, from west London, have pleaded not guilty to conspiring to transfer criminal property. Their trial at Oxford Crown Court was told the toilet was most likely broken up and was never recovered. police said they had nothing to go on

Thanks Terry Maybe weak sea rather than missing, but I've not seen it on 1930 coins.(Can you "not see" what isn't there ??)

An exciting Ebay listing for penny collectors seeking the 1863 with die numbers - the first example with minus 1 (-1) under the date. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/356491300476?itmmeta=01JJ5H9EW45WNYWTVKMXTG816F&hash=item5300898e7c:g:Oy4AAOSwWS1nj~eK&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwHoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKlmKrLpByFK3NCH5LpfdrzNdV8QOMQvZOkA9KHBdFYpZf%2B22CKYOwtY5SzdG41OU5lzTamqMvLWCKwCT%2B5o6Ubr7WzTw4bib88BMHIRH689xsTWKwFjwupAPGchYDWdjDFknqaecWQTY90QZbrnYTIhoZEUzBGa9vKJC5sl5z%2FGWgn0FZdKwgRvaOksMKux0sckksjF0TGMpqC445MhuNGbBaQRGOdWSeV4gjRN8RxZFg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5jupbGRZQ
