been away so missed the developments in this thread. i got an 1879 narrow off ebay a few years back for a few quid. which was surprising. and having looked at 1879 narrows elsewhere, i see it is clear there are at least 2 dies

bad pics can sometimes and have been advantageous to me. my pet hates, having come back from Bulgaria, and knowing what the prices there were, and now are after 4-5 years. SILVER PRICE!! - last time i was there, was picking up russian 800. silver 50 kopecks imperial- soviet for a few quid, now its 15-20- 30+ anything silver is upwards £15, still found some nice things there in copper. for a few quid. - seems silver price, and age are the factors being played there now (did find a worn 1819 20 kopeck for under a quid though ) people listing something as rare when it isn't people who bid silly sums on metal detector finds... when most of the coins with details are junk, and rest are discs.

never seen an 1896 THAT wide, did find the narrowest one.

shall we start on the Edwards?.... looking at the 9.. it looks smaller.

incedently the narrowist 1897 i could find is this one 1899 wide

oh not seen that one. its hard to find the 96 wide as well 1897 wide

1770+ farthings, like 3 obvious reverse dies... even 1771 has 3 varieties lol

1897 have visiable variations. close 7 and far 7 are miles apart

get far more zimbabwe dollars for £1

40x face is £2.40 on a sixpence i would as well

no 1956.. curse them

1728 sixpence with plumes. all i can say is.. its better then mine VF, but whats going on on the Obverse

the very first one

the person gradining it was a drung as the guy who carved the 7 into the dye

do love a good roman, i got a few recently myself

looks to be a tin farthing. the plug in the middle gives it away

whats the differance then? cos one is so worn, i would never be able to tell any

if he started on tiny date spreads we would have far to many 1860-63 bun varieties

they are listed in a book we all know of though small rose is listed as more valuable for both years the differance is minute though. from i gather is the large rose nearly touches the shields i believe this is a small shield, the gap is larger but not by much http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/pics/ones2.html differance is in here

no idea tbh, not many people know about the differant rose sizes

I wish people would stop knowing they had those 1903 opens.. i want one cheap >.> i look at 1908 and 1909 as well. but really, we have the 1870 wide and narrow which is what? 1 tooth? and we got the the OH viccies that dont count, the few differant 1902's (isn't there 2 versions of LT )

its stripey? what? defo cleaned, copepr doesnt tone like that, i have seen brass tone in rainbows with silver, and natuaral toning is pleasent this is not natural. although a cleaned copper coin can tone nicely... this hasn't

you can see the higher 4 is closer to the top of the exergue

makes me want to make some fakes and put under the portrait, sucker and list it in a similar way

they sign for man city item gone btw
