Unwilling Numismatist replied to Prax's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Her head is too low..... I just don't get the how or what!!! -
And no spoilers please - I'm away until Friday when I'll get to see it

Does this qualify as an entrant for this thread? (Guess who's been looking at pennies again....)

1877 wider date
Unwilling Numismatist replied to zookeeperz's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
I have a couple of really bad ones I was looking at last night, some with a droopy last 7 and some all in a line and even. I figured from google and ebay images that it's pretty common - and if I have 2, that means they can't be worth much lol! -
1966 Finger Penny

The cleaning doesn't look historical enough for my liking, tops a tenner and a boiled egg. -
What does the reverse look like?
-
Well, go me. Just looked through about 200000000000 ebay churchill coins and the one I'm thinking is odd is actually the norm, and the one I refer to as "tidy" is the odd one. So I guess it's time I got new glasses. I'll get my coat.

This seller is offloading loads of different ones https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/itsthelick/m.html?item=152734720203&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 -
Should have scratched them with the ViGtoria
-
me too, thats a winner!

Perhaps they'll save that for the polymer £50
-
Aye, I'm hoping for some form of direction on why it looks quite so different ( and also so nice, considering this has to be the number 1 fugly coin going!)
-
No idea caigy, these aren't even close to my faves (George III, IV and viccy silver) so I'm truly out of my depth.

left = circulated, midlle is a tidy example, and right is the oddity.

I enjoy a bit of ebay buying, although I do treat it with the contempt it deserves, trying to hit things with low "pot-shot" bids to see if I can bag an absolute bargain.
-
Well, other than ever so slightly less finger grease, it looks identical, although struggling to get a shot which shows just how different it is to the others.
-
Found and digested the acetone cleaning thread, acetone is on my list of stuff to buy today, and I'll give it a whirl (with a few of its comrades) and post the results later.
-
Maybe you need to use ebay like the modern generation .. chance a buy it now with silly money, plenty of those go through every week judging by the "sold" and "completed" listings!
-
Sorry to resurrect this, but.... I found this one among the many in my latest acquisition, which is quite different to the many regular fuglies in there. Any possible chance of a yay or nay to satin please?

Really not familiar with your camera so it's hard to say. 35mm might be a bit short though - when I can be bothered, I use at least 55mm and normally a longer lens up to 250mm so that I have plenty of room and the light is sufficient far back so that it doesn't overexpose the shot. If your camera has a mirror lock-up option, you could try that as it will also help to reduce camera shake, even when using a timer.
-
Your camera will have a minimum distance it needs between itself and the subject, normally this is indicated on the camera body above the lens, although I'm not familiar with your model. Also if that's your lens, you might want to clean the finger prints off it

Is this a really subtle attempt at advertising?

Great informative replay, thank you Jester!

Thats a beauty of a find!. Crappy photos but my best find this week...
