Yes, as Paddy has narrowed it down to, the Bristol coin is class 3cd, and it looks to me that the London coin is a class 10/11 mule, on account of the angle-backed C on the reverse. This is an excellent resource if you haven’t any books on the series. https://www.rodblunt.com/edwardian-pennies

Eighteen years and I've found my third one in change today. Not a great looker though.

I sent an email to the developers and they said there were many issues with Invision forums and listed a whole range of the causes - one of them was the rich text issue which you fixed, but there were several others some of which were very technical and beyond my understanding! However, they did suggest trying another browser, so I went back to my Chromium browser for predec (I also use it for banking as it doesn't involve the very irritating 2FA thing where you have to get a 6 digit code on your phone).

Isn't it nice that we have someone on here with some nice inherited coins lol

Hah, I honestly didn’t mind, Chris…gave me my biggest smile of the day so far. 😆

Michael Gouby was selling the Type 4 and 5 1992s for about £60 in EF. So I guess somewhere between £30 and £50 would be reasonable. I think the 2006 is rarer than either of those. I've got about 20 type 4s and maybe a dozen type 5 - not EF condition you understand. They are much more common though.

I love this kind of thing. Modern rarities that no one is bothered about because there is little financial incentive to look, they involve a little effort to understand and spot and because they haven't been exposed in the Sun or on dodgy click-bait tabloid websites. I hate that side of decimal collecting, plus all of the deliberate misleading crap and even fakes on eBay over the years.... remember the dateless mule 20p, when people were actually grinding off the date of normal ones and attempting to pass them off as 'dateless'! How many 2006 10p's do you think you've actually seen in total? 2006 was a massive mintage at 118m+, so it would seem the type A die(s) were for whatever reason, just used for a tiny fraction of that total. Even if it was for a million coins, it's still under 1% of the 2006 total. All these years later and finding a stunning example will be very hard (as you know!), like finding a decent 1807 slave trade £2 with no DG initials (i.e. the circ only variant). They may well be rarer than the Kew 50p. Might even be comparable with the mule 2016 £1 coin with the tiny 2017 dates on the reverse - and surely more of those should exist in the wild but a magnifying glass is needed to even see it.

Wow, that's great to find out, thank you, I did have to read up on Mule meaning I have read before and so this is a Error coin A mule coin is a type of error coin that features a combination of designs from two different coins, typically due to a mistake during minting. Wow.. this is very interesting to also learn. many thanks for all the time taken, its going to be an interesting few weeks as these still need to be worked through.....

You're magically an enthusiast now. The expert grader old rank was always there. No idea why they need to have 2 now.

I'm using Chromium instead of Firefox, and so far - touch wood - it seems to be working normally with my abbreviations.

This one is indeed a penny. Third coinage, mintmark lion, bust 3i
