Many thanks Dave,
I can see in David Groom's book (Identification of British C20th Bronze Coin Varieties)there are 8 minor varieties of 1900 listed. Glad to hear that an additional minor variety has been recorded. I wonder is there any source with pictures of the 9 or whether anyone has collected all 9 ?
Best Regards
@DaveG38 *is* David Groom!

They are pretty scarce - much of the low mintage was probably never issued.

Does this one look wrong to you?

looks as if it's been retooled, possibly?

What a shame - I've ordered an Annulet from Peeter Nichols, who are now closing down. I would have been interested in another Mascle (still waiting for the Annulet...)

Someone had a theory that people who had made many attachments were the ones who can't post them now, which would explain why those 3 test attachments by a new poster worked.

I agree that there are too many in the period to classify them all. But good on anyone who makes them a special interest.

Phil Collins is very underrated as a musician - he not only helped write several Genesis songs, he was also a consummate arranger, something very evident from Nursery Cryme onwards which was the album after he joined.

Hi all,
As I can't seem to post pics anymore, I've posted a link to a coin I was hoping one or two of you might have an opinion on. I haven't seen corrosion like this on pennies of this grade, and I was wondering if anyone knew what it was. I appreciate that there is no financial value in it, but I've been looking for one where the die crack looks like thunder hitting the water for a while (don't ask).
Are you talking about Britannia's leg? The pictures are pretty poor, but I can't see this as corrosion - depending upon whether it's incuse or raised (the jury's out...) then it's either a planchet flaw causing delamination, or perhaps something like grease finding its way onto the die.

My understanding of the term "VIP proof" is that it doesn't refer to a characteristicallly different method of striking, but that they are normal proofs produced in very limited quantities for VIP visitors in years when proofs weren't otherwise issued. Therefore there aren’t any VIP proofs for e.g. 1950 1951 1953, but would exist if struck in 1948 1949 1952 or 1954.

Hi @Chris Perkins it might be worth the host reading the thread in Members, Coin Acquisition of the week as that has quite a lot more discussion on this problem.
Unless he's a member he won't be able to.

The New York examples were struck on polished dies, hence prooflike. They're scarcer than the regular but not sure of the relative mintages.

all I have is the 12 PENCE MAKE 1 SHILLING

Reading the sports section on the BBC website this morning, I have just genuinely realised that champion golfers Schauffele and Scheffler
are two separate people.
No wonder I've been confused.
they both wear soft shoes

What is it about this penny, particularly the obverse, that is making my nose twitch?
Ridiculous price for an at best GVF example.

better than Fine but not VF in my book

What are these worth, now? I’ll be bidding.

you've posted in Hammered which I usually mark as “read” as I have no interest in them - could you please check the forum before you post? Many thanks. (These belong in Non-British coins).
Having said that, those two examples are in a very collectable condition.

You identified my JH 6d as a pattern, I remember! I'll try and post a picture after I've posted without, just to see if I still get 'Forbidden'...
(No, I didn't get 'Forbidden', just "This comment can no longer be edited.." even though it was straight after posting the above comment - and I bet I'm allowed THIS edit even though it's after the picture attempt)

Hi Richard, I saw it - don't know what it went for . I had a couple of my typical "low" bids on at Noonan's, but I don't think I won anything.
Very Best Regards
Their estimates are absurd. For most coins, the hammer price is on average double the top estimate.

Victoria Six pence...1893,
if correct.....apparently only had a Mintage of 1 300 of this date... Awesome!
Actually, it’s the Jubilee Head issue for 1893 that's very rare - the Old Head which you have is the normal (not rare) issue.
But the 1821 is a very nice example.

I'd say GVF at least, but as said, the tone is offputting. I'm not sure I'd want it in my collection, even if the price was right.

Maybe that's why they changed from the F174 with It's uneven pressing between the two sides to the F177. They were trying to eliminate the ghosting at this time , and its possibly premature ware affecting the reverse side on early types caused by the week low rim that brought about the change. ?
Yes - the Edward obverse was flatter and didn't cause ghosting to the same extent; but the savage ghosting on 1911 and 1912 reverses must have caused them to redesign.

I've bought silver that was so shiny that some dealers avoided it like the plague. However, I have a nearly infallible way to tell : if the shine is in the fields and between the legend, but not on the design or legend, then I judge it’s natural; it would be virtually impossible to clean only the parts that exclude all the raised elements. As to how they survive in that condition, I wouldn't like to speculate.

Many thanks again Richard for confirming it was ja and if the photos are helpful, please do use them. It came with what I believe is an 1875 Gouby Lk (so normal penny variety for 1875) in the same condition.
Very Best Regards
It’s very definitely Reverse ja, else it would be Reverse nein.

Concerning Proofs of the 1960 British Exhibition Crown
in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Posted
I wonder at the terms "extremely" "very" and "excessively" used for rarity. Were these simply hype words (like "BU Gem" used by so many dealers) or are they based on known facts? It's interesting that the 1960 silver crown ("very rare") was offered at a significantly cheaper price than the other two, one being the long known 'sandblasted' 1953 crown.
