    Looks like an F-33 Obverse 6 Reverse G
  2. Bronze & Copper Collector
    It is my understanding, (assuming that my information is correct), that this is actually a SECOND known specimen, the original specimen that Freeman notes in his book being in a collection for many years....
  3. Bronze & Copper Collector
    I currently have one of each .....

    Nice coin you have there Gary. Interesting that with both our coins the reverse is a lot weaker than the observe. Thanks....

    and the reverse...

    A few weeks ago on ebay, I sold a lower grade specimen for $949 (US) (A duplicate from my collection) see link.... Link to ebay listing of F-38 sold for $949 maybe Chris can use it to establish values in varying condition for this variety

    I have this Partial Brockage GB penny up for auction this week.... Essentially the same type of error as the 1917 US penny that you linked to........ Partial Brockage GB Penny on Ebay......
  10. Bronze & Copper Collector
    I would tend to agree with Dave's assessment...
  11. Bronze & Copper Collector
    Here is ANOTHER mis-attributed Bronze slab.... I only WISH it WERE what it says on the label....

    I've have the 2/1 PENNY, but I never heard of a 2/1 HALF-penny....
  13. Bronze & Copper Collector
    Not sure, but as you say, there is a definite slant on the "2". Apart from "Die letter A, B or C to left of lighthouse", classed as extremely rare, there are no variants of the 1862 halfpenny listed (that I can see anyway). It may be just a one off error. Interesting. Don't forget the newly discovered A to the RIGHT of the Lighthouse

    Here is a link to Michael Gouby's page on his website with information regarding the 1909 pennies... Link to Michael Gouby's information page on the 1909 pennies Please ALWAYS acknowledge source material. especially on the web, as people work hard to maintain it and they deserve the credit.......
  15. Bronze & Copper Collector
    The F-169 (1909) IS listed in the 1970 edition of Freeman... The F-164A (1908) is NOT listed in the 1970 edition of Freeman.... As a point of interest the 1922 F-192A is NOT listed in the 1970 edition of Freeman either....
  16. Bronze & Copper Collector
    The primary question with ANY of these "rare" varieties is not how many were minted, but rather, how many survived in an identifiable condition, so as to be of desirability to a collector....... Sometimes, the only numbers that we can base any calculations of rarity upon are the number of specimens that are known, and not estimated mintages.....
  17. Bronze & Copper Collector
    I suspect Michael Goulby has 1 and the British Musium plus mine so we are up to the 6 now, must be some more out there. Gary, i don't suppose you have a spare 1908 164A tucked away somewhere I wish... I had a damaged specimen, which I sold when I got my current example......
  18. Bronze & Copper Collector
    I have a specimen, sold a second one (in worse condition), and know of at least one other example... So that makes 3 of which I have firsthand knowledge.
  19. Bronze & Copper Collector
    This is the 1873 Obverse 8 with Reverse C#
  20. Bronze & Copper Collector
    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......
  21. Bronze & Copper Collector
    Thanks, This was an upgrade.... My previous specimen was the one linked earlier in the thread....
  22. Bronze & Copper Collector
    F-39a full reverse
  23. Bronze & Copper Collector
    F-39a close-up of overdate
  24. Bronze & Copper Collector
    Here are images of my 1849 1/1 and 1849 4/4, I do NEED a specimen of the NORMAL undoubled date, if anyone has one they are willing to part with...... Please contact me here and I will send you my email address..... Thanks....
  25. Bronze & Copper Collector
    Here is a 60x close up of my specimen..... not in as good a condition as that shown, but the overdate within the 0 is clear....
