    Satin refers to the reference number in a book by John Jerrams.. "The Early British Bronze "Bun" Pennies 1860 to 1865 (Inclusive) And Their Varieties" Satin Reference - Compiled and Produced by John Jerrams

    I have 3 different editions.... 1999, 2001, & 2003... the most recent...... Occasionally, one will appear on Ebay....

    Reverse
  4. Bronze & Copper Collector
    Here is my specimen... I sold my old specimen which was in worse condition (damaged planchet) than the Crocker specimen for about what the current bid plus premium is right now. Obverse....
  5. Bronze & Copper Collector
    Definitely no earlier than Obverse 6 - notice that the head is the usual bun penny distance from the linear circle; on the first 5 Freeman obverses, it sits much lower from it (one of the defining characteristics of 1860 pennies for example). The 1860 dated F-17 is a die pairing of 6 & D, so the obverse 6 DOES appear on 1860 dated coins.... The 1861 varieties paired with obverse 6 are reverse D (F-29), reverse F ( F-32) , and reverse G (F-33)
  6. Bronze & Copper Collector
    Looks like an F-33 Obverse 6 Reverse G
  7. 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....

    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....

    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......
  15. Bronze & Copper Collector
    I would tend to agree with Dave's assessment...

    I'd like 2 copies please..... Shipped to USA
  18. Bronze & Copper Collector
    I've have the 2/1 PENNY, but I never heard of a 2/1 HALF-penny....
  19. 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.......
  21. 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....
  22. 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.....
  23. 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......
  24. 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.
  25. Bronze & Copper Collector
    This is the 1873 Obverse 8 with Reverse C#
