    I concur with Bernie... Looks as all legitimate F/P's look. I too have it on reverse G, paired with both obverse 6 and 7. I've seen other F/P claims with other obverse and or reverses, but I've yet to see one that I would accept as such. Not to say that they do not exist, merely that I haven't seen an example yet.

    Love it... A classic. ...
  3. Bronze & Copper Collector
    Reminds me of the constantly changing sign in Fawlty Towers.....

    I've personally owned about 10-12 different specimens over the years. Passed on as I upgraded or just sold if not an improvement... I only recall 2 without the recut A, all the others had the recut A indentifier...

    Across the pond we would say that that makes no cents....

    Or get rid of cable television and go back to rabbit ears....
  7. Bronze & Copper Collector
    These puns are getting to be a rabbit with me..

    Can't we just leaf it be???

    I had listed some lots of Halfpennies and pennies, identified by Freeman numbers and ebays' bots kicked it out as using numerical grading..... I had to change it from F number to Freeman number to get it to list....

    There are times that it looks like an obverse 6 too.... You have the coin in hand so I'll defer to your assessment. Images can be deceptive even with no deception intended....
  11. Bronze & Copper Collector
    Image looks like a 7 & G, F-282.. Can't be sure unless it's in hand
  12. Bronze & Copper Collector
    Technically, by ebay policy, this listing should not be allowed, inasmuch as it is being listed with a numeric grade not assigned by an officially recognized grading service. Number two, without having the references handy, I believe a Poor-1 needs to be identifiable to some minimal degree. This coin does not fit that description .... That being said, I can appreciate the humor of the listing, as I have similarly had "world's worst coins" listed in the distant past....

    Magnificent acquisition Richsrd... Congratulations. ...
  14. Bronze & Copper Collector
    That's always the final determinant Richard, and I erred in reading it as "inverted V instead of A".. That being said, I distinctly see a crossbar so, my amended observation is, it is not an inverted V for A, although there is a possibility that it could be an inverted V over A, reinforcing the A. A close examination with coin in hand would be the determining factor.
  15. Bronze & Copper Collector
    Looks like a normal A with a weak crossbar.... I've seen many like that...
  16. Bronze & Copper Collector
    I should have added: "Nor could I afford it..."
  17. Bronze & Copper Collector
    So would I. However, inasmuch as I only collect circulation strikes and do not actively pursue proofs nor patterns, I'm not losing any sleep over it.
  18. Bronze & Copper Collector
    Enjoy!

    I guess I was being redundant. As you stated, incorrect image. But the coin in question is correct...
  20. Bronze & Copper Collector
    Incorrect image.. so definitely NOT an F-164a
  21. Bronze & Copper Collector
    I concur completely with your assessment. Obverse 2, reverse G, F-20
  22. Bronze & Copper Collector
    That would make sense....... Equality for ALL buyers, in a open free marketplace. High bid takes it, everyone pays the SAME premium. As for selling, you can negotiate the sellers premium as it would only affect the seller and the auction house, essentially a private transaction.

    Any business will try to make the most profit that they can. Where will it stop though. It reminds me of the proverbial camel. It sticks his head in the tent to see you and before you know it he has got the whole tent, and you are on the outside looking at him....
  24. Bronze & Copper Collector
    Wrong spot for the obverse opening....
  25. Bronze & Copper Collector
    I would say P of PENNY to a tooth.... As stated by many, lighting, angle, etc all conspire to confuse....... it's happened many times to me..... sometimes I'll vacillate for days, counting denticles, checking leaves, other key points, etc. And still I might not be overly confident in my final assessment . To be perfectly candid, sometimes you can never be sure without the coin in hand. ..
