    I took this pic- got a T adapter so my telescope became my cheap camera's lens.

    No tracking, quick snap, no stacking software to build up the image.

    Even though it's not up to the standards you see a lot, I'm chuffed I caught the fact that Jupiter is striped!

    No moons visible- had to stop it right down...

  3. Hi all,

    As you may have seen, I have started to dispose of my copper penny collection.

    As I was listing the 1826 varieties, I noticed that the better condition of my two 1826 NO LINE on the saltire had an inverted die alignment as opposed to the normal die alignment ( coin alignment as in US coinage, as opposed to medal alignment as used in the UK).  Like the 1841 half penny inverted die alignment.

    Is anyone familiar with this variety???

    Thanks,
    Gary

    My Ebay Listings

    I am getting an error message when trying to start a new topic, so I'll just try to add to this one.

     

    Circumstances have unfortunately forced me to start listing, on eBay, the bulk of my copper penny collection. I will continue to list the coins as time permits.

    I have attempted to price the items fairly based upon recent sales records.

    I also have an assortment of other various items listed as well.

    I can't do anything about the VAT, but I know that eBay insists on shipping each AUCTION lot separately. I do not know if the same applies to "Buy It Now" sales. Obviously, this does not apply to domestic USA sales.

    That being said, I am open to all reasonable offers, and am willing to  combine individual lots into larger combined lots in order to expedite the shipping process.

    I find eBay International shipping provides a safer, more secure, and more economical shipping option for me.

    Please feel free to make an offer or contact me if there is anything of interest to you.
    
    Thank you,

    Exactly. However I've seen marks similar the ones described on several coins over the years and I think they are a bit more than bag marks. caused by coins knocking together. I was looking about cleaning on the PCGS site  the other day and it seems that they do not consider dipping as cleaning.

    My little experience leads me to believe that that determination would depend upon who is submitting the coin.

    John Jervis [later Earl St Vincent]

    I found this earlier today. I bought another old album at auction and removed most of the coins last night , all worn , Charles II & George I Farthings , George II and III halfpennies etc.

    Anyway I had a few minutes this morning - didn't read the legend, superficially the obverse looked similar to some my George II counterfeit types , but clearly it isn't

    "Glorious Jervis" on the Obverse with a very worn bust presumably John Jervis, and Hira Rosa. on the Reverse over a Harp.

    Tried to find it on Numista (along with the George III Simian above) to add to my "collection" but couldn't locate it 

    Any thoughts ?

    Just a guess, but possibly an Irish Evasion copper

    Pretty sure the halfpenny is a lot rarer , i had a nice one years ago but sold it for a good price

    I would tend to agree.

    I have only owned 5 or 6 half penny overdates, but at least 3 dozen (probably more) penny overdates.

    There are also many more offerings of the penny overrated as opposed to the half penny overdate.

    Is there a possible connection between my raised dot 1911 penny with your raised dot 1919 penny ?  Both dots are a similar size and appear to be in the same place adjacent to the date . Was the Royal Mint experimenting with die wear before the minting of the 1912H penny ?

    Interesting that there is a similar dot to the right of the date, but I also think I see dots to the left of the O in ONE, after the E in ONE, above Brittania's helmut plume, and under the E in PENNY.

    It could be the image or, if the dots are truly there, then possibly corrosion on the die.
