What you have is most probably a normal 1899 penny that has, at some stage after minting, been covered in some form of gold coating to resemble a gold penny.

Thanks

I haven't finished them yet. I have most of the farthings priced, and the halfpenny prices are starting to come together. Whilst we are on the subject of CEMCGB, does anyone know the prices of 1672 A/B and 1673 O/O? I have looked in spink for an idea, but the first is not listed and the second jsut says 'extremely rare'...

----- When do the prices have to be 'handed in'?

That is good news, there are quite a lot of varieties not listed in CCGB2005, so I think it will be more than tripple if we include most of them. Decimal varieties sound interesting, I bet there are quite a few... Good competition for Spink ay ...

I get this when i click on anything in the forum...i have to click 'back' and then try the link again: "Warning: mysql_connect(): Too many connections in /home/british-coins/htdocs/forum/sources/Drivers/mySQL.php on line 64 Warning: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/british-coins/htdocs/forum/sources/Drivers/mySQL.php on line 67 ERROR: Cannot find database britishcoins Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/british-coins/htdocs/forum/sources/Drivers/mySQL.php on line 100 There appears to be an error with the Forum Home database.

That is nice! Looks a bit sureal though...

Halfpenny...farthing maybe...(i take it that it is copper?)

Still no 1988 £'s for me ...oh well

Isn't that only if it is attached to a mount?

! ...one side is ruined...and it seems that they were too lasy to do the obverse!

Lol...i've just got my second with my pocketmoney ... I wonder when we sill start to see the 2005 pennies and such...

well, aren't you lucky

Hmm... ...typical of the mint to issue coins that were around over 400 years ago...! It is funny though, the rubbish that they come up with! ...its worrying!

Sounds like a token to me...that is why you did not find it in Krause (or does Krause list tokes?)...

I've added the other one to my ebay ...I suppose that it is allways handy to have a guide like that

Missed it ...

Ok, i shall make a list when i have some more time

Ok then: (Not listed types of value): Quater Farthings: 1868 Proof. ER (Proof year not listed at all) 1868 Cupro-nickel proof. ER (Proof year not listed at all) Farthings: 1847 Proof. VR (Proof year not listed at all) 1880 3 berries Open topped '8'. ER 1882 H Broken F in FD. S (Scarce, but far commoner than non-broken F in FD type) 1883 Broken F in FD. R (Not as rare as non-broken F in FD type) Halfpennies 1839 Bronzed Proof 39/43. VR 1856 Bronzed Specimen. ER (Proof?) 1858 8/7 Large date. (Only small date listed) 1860 (copper) Proof. ...more later maybe (Edit: 1500th Post )

Ok

Maybe...but i think that if collectors knew that CCGB books offered a lot of year varieties then they would try to get hold of a copy...I would.

You can use my Type B 1881 H farthing's picture I think that it would be best to start a topic in the Research Forum about varietties that are not listed. The more varieties the book has, the better sales it should make

Here Is this a die flaw or just worn? Part of the border rim on the reverse is worn at the top right side. The teeth are still there and un-worn, so is this a die flaw?

The Nathaniel Strickson Farthing token is quite nice...and yet I do not usually get attracted to token coinage...hmm...I may consider a bid if it goes no more than £15

Well...welcome to the forum, Martyn (if thats your name)...it is allways nice to see new faces
