  1. 1735 I struggled with that date too in my collection until I was able to compare examples of both dates.
  2. It was the basis of the updates, subject to his future decisions. He later removed the milled penny (that I recently sold) from the catalog after receiving an assessment from the Royal Mint that it was a post mint alteration. Just as his 1970 edition was an extension of his several updated versions of his penny studies expanded to include half pennies, farthings, patterns, trials, etc. There are ALWAYS corrections, updates, modifications, etc to a work of this magnitude. There have been many new discoveries to add to Peck, Braman, Freeman, etc. No guide/catalog is a final authority, it merely contains information known at the time. They grow, mature, learn, make adjustments and corrections, expand as a living being.
  3. These, if I am correct, are you amongst the updates included in the second (1986) edition.
  4. I suppose then, that you finally got it in the end.........
  5. Something else of interest, and pertinent . And No, my dad was not involved in the invasion. He was assigned elsewhere.
  6. Here's my Dad's WW2 Medals. It looks like it might work
  7. A member since 2005, I got my one year badge too. At that rate, I'm only a bit more than 3.5 years old
  8. I have one listed on ebay at the moment. The same short sea/rock formation, repaired E's, die cracks. Ebay item#: 326743200377
  9. New images from a different microscope
  10. Thank you, that explanation seemed most likely to me also.
  11. I just listed this coin on ebay and was looking for some thoughts on it. The E in ONE has protrusions from the left side of the upright. At times it looks like it might have been punched with the E upside down, and then corrected. Anyone have any thoughts or ideas??? Thanks, Gary
  12. Not letting me quote and post, so just answering. I'm tempted to say 1843. Seeing the obverse could possibly dissuade me from that temptation.
  13. I have this issue too intermittently. Even just on a plain text post.
  14. I would concur. To me, definitely an 1859
  15. Here is a very clear example on a 1854 penny that I currently have on ebay.
  16. Thanks Rob, I'll check when I get home to see if the marks match. And will post an image for comparison. Best Regards, Gary
  17. 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
  18. Email Received.. Thank you
  19. That would be great appreciated. If you can include the PDF downloads of the catalog I would appreciate it too. I was only able to download the first part. I got an error message on parts 2 & 3. Thanks all.
  20. Does anyone know if there is any way that I can get a copy of the catalog along with the prices realized? Can it be ordered from Sovereign Rarities? Thanks, Gary
  21. We have another winner here. Check out 1860 Great Britain Halfpenny KM 726 Rare Date 1/2 Penny on eBay!
