    I've been trying to post 2 scans of pertinent pages in the more pennies and am getting the following error message. I get this error even if I just try to post text.

    Confirmation of Dies Please

    1862 A to RIGHT of Lighthouse Rocks are clearly there.

    Confirmation of Dies Please

    1862 A to LEFT of Lighthouse - Nearer to the Lighthouse  Better quality, faint, but the rocks are there.

    Confirmation of Dies Please

    1862 A to LEFT of Lighthouse - Nearer to Rim Poor quality, difficult to see, but I believe the rocks are there.

    Genesis 2:22-23 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. 23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” I just want to know if the "WOKESTERS" plan to rewrite the Bible in order to make it "Politically Correct". Perhaps they intend to challenge the ""Word" of GOD"

    Assistance Requested re: Identification Please

    Would someone possibly please identify the imaged coin and possibly give an estimated value. This is not my coin. I am researching for an acquaintance. I do not have the coin in my possession and these are the only images that I have. With no actual knowledge of the coin, I would hypothesize that it might be a Greek Tetradrachm or something in that family. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    1911 1/2d A+b unlisted by Freeman

    The only variants in the dates mentioned that I am aware of at present are as follows: Four for 1911. Both Obverses and both Reverses intermixed. (Gouby A&a, A&b, B&a, and B&b). Two for 1912, listed on Michael Gouby's website as 2 date spacings: Date A "Centre of 2 to bead, 10 beads" Date B "Centre of 2 to gap, 9 1/2 beads" Re: 1925, I am aware of only the two listed in Freeman, F-404 (1& A, Gouby B & A), and F-405 (2 & B, Gouby C & B).

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I remember seeing advertisements for "Certified Genuine Facsimile Autographed Baseballs". Does that translate to that they are guaranteeing them to be fakes? Or Genuine Fakes?? It's Ludicrous. And people buy them.

    NEW UNLISTED VARIETY of 1873 HALF-PENNY

    I recently acquired what is possibly the 5th known specimen of a Half-Penny variety, unlisted in Freeman but acknowledged by Dracott in his Half-Penny study.... An 1873 obverse 8 paired with reverse C#. What I later discovered amongst some coins that I already had, but passed over because it was not an obverse 8, was another 1873 Half-Penny with reverse C#, but paired with Obverse 7... UNKNOWN & UNLISTED till now..... See attached scans......

    NEW UNLISTED VARIETY of 1873 HALF-PENNY

    I would tend to concur with you on your determination. My comparison of certain diagnostic indicators led me to that conclusion too. I'm not sure what the current known population is, so I will defer to your numbers. For the census, currently i have two obverse 8's, as well as two obverse 7's which include the discovery coin.

    Halfpenny ID check

    I presume that the coin in question is the 1861, which, although admittedly it does look like a P/F, I would tend to doubt that it is a HALP penny. Although it is known with both obverses 6 and 7; to the best of my knowledge it is only known on reverse G. The coin in question is a reverse E (note the LCW). I would suspect that it is some sort of gunk at the tip of the crossbars of the F in HALF. For what it is worth, I hope that I am proven incorrect, or that I have been looking at wrong coin. The best scenario would be that it is a new discovery (those are always nice). Best of Luck

    $240,000 😀 The Edward V111 brass threepence sold for $140,000 😯 Actually Pete, the Edward VIII brass 3 pence, sold for $144,000 ($120,000 + $24,000). You're correct with the 1933 Penny, $240,000 ($200,000 + $40,000)

    TOY COINS

    Unless it's a trick of lighting and imaging and not really there; all that I think I see is a hint of the L & the A. Possibly my line is angled incorrectly as all I can claim to see is 2 partial letters. Of course there is always the possibility of a different die variety. Unfortunately we may never be sure.
  24. Bronze & Copper Collector

    TOY COINS

    Blocked die is certainly a possibility.

    TOY COINS

    I've examined the images and I believe the LAUER is on the coin, very faint and very worn. I've tried to both underline and circle the most visible portion, that of the LA of LAUER.
