  1. Thanks. Supposedly only one example better than fine in LCA archive since 2003.
  2. Can I ask please; what is the best condition 1*+C you have seen? I found one last week which is 100% 1*+C no doubt in the normal heavily circulated condtion. I also found the coin imaged I wasn't 100 % sure with this one because the tooth is slightly out of shape. What do you think? Thanks.
  3. To me this one I have attached looks like it could be Ac?
  4. When I count what appear to be teeth from the image I count an eleven tooth spacing if I draw in what I think to be teeth it looks it could be 11.5. My gut feeling the coin is a 11-tooth (Gouby BP1896Ac) what do you think? Thanks
  5. Sorry I hadn't see this reply, thanks. GREAT !
  6. I finally got around to taking better images which represent my coin. Still cant get my head around finding this as cheap as I did unattributed. As I have not been posting here about my finds I now have a backlog of finds to add to my collection taking photos and sharing here found some amazing coins unattributed.
  7. Rather than an attempt at drilling, (the tip of the drill being pointed would remove material in the center first) Not around the edge. This looks like an attempt at using a hole punch.
  8. Thank you very much for taking the time to explain the above and provide the images. Much appreciated !
  9. It does look similar hard to say, I dont have the coin to hand. It cost me £1 so worth a punt.
  10. Not the best picture so its difficult to really see. The central line of the last one appears to fall in the gap.
  11. Since you mention there is another not listed in Gouby possibly its not BP1901Aa the one I have.
  12. I did read it yes. I found what I think is a BP1901Aa and was simply wondering how rare they are.
  13. I was under the impression they are rare in any grade with only a handful known?
  14. Ok thanks, Gouby BP1901Ab 10 3/4 teeth the center of the last one is not over the gap. The one which is not covered by Gouby similar to Ab where is the last 1 positioned? Thanks
  15. In your collection do you have a 1901 Penny, NARROW Date, BP1901Aa? How rare are these? I remember reading somewhere they are few and far between. Thanks,
  16. I think the coin is 9+K for the following reasons, can you let me know what you think please? Obverse: Its not obverse 7 because the first set of leaves are not nearly touching the colon after DG - Looks to have 16 leaves. - 1st set of leaves are arranged different to Obverse 8 which are more spread out. - The ribbon shows some crimping. - The nape hair seems to match up. Reverse: The lighthouse resembles most the lighthouse shown on reverse K and the date numerals are widely spaced and low in the exergue. Could you please let me know what die pairing you think the coin is. Thanks
  17. Would be tricky using a lathe a precision milling machine would be more suitable, I have one but dont have accurate scales to weigh a coin afterwards. Using a lathe to remove the legends you would also remove Britannias foot for example and part of the exergue.
  18. Il buy it please Chris. Edit; oh no its not the specialized version,
