  1. yea i like it in the artifical light, sometimes that lighting makes coins look worse. any thoughts on those A's and the date overstrike? the artifical light does show the 5 overstrike pretty well can see the whole shape of the old 5 also might need a closer look at the F in FID.
  2. it is the signiture version lol
  3. only 2 per post :/ here is the artifical light
  4. here you go some shots of both sides, obverse with natural and artificial light
  5. 19k on a penny? how rare is this? it would have to be unique and gold to even warrent that imo but yea, i'm wondering what 1862 no signiture is too,
  6. k it arrived today, overstrike is obvious on the 5, got shots which i'll upload later, not easy to see anything with the naked eye around the 3 area so i'll post the reverse also as those brittannia a's look like V's but with repunches all over the place its hard to see
  7. yea those can happen, i do have a 2008 £2 coin (techonology) with the bottom dot on obverse missing that is cool
  8. have a couple of 2's every 50p i get is annoying 1997's still getting some 2008's which are uncirculated though
  9. yea never noticed that lighthouse, never seen it like that. i do like the beaded boarders, look lovely
  10. still overpriced... they are not worth that, and i dont even think half of those are genuine
  11. well i dunno, perhaps the same person bidding almost £4 on a 1910 penny in fair?
  12. interesting coin, while the A isn't a V (you can see where the bar should be) same with the F, but i know some unbarred letters via die errors are listed seperatly
  13. possibly the striking is misaligned, cant see any other reason, so its better then a normal one
  14. first one cost me 5p, so not too fussed. I did buy the second 1912H at £2.65 inc postage, so a good priced upgrade.
  15. alright, makes sence, but the reason i ask, having a similar situation with another is it me or is there an H there? again it seems to vanish when i look from differant angles
  16. http://www.irish-tokens.co.uk/splitscreen/entry.htm look there, its a token, davis link on the side your is davis 67 here is my davis 42 :/
  17. yea its gorgeous, bit out of my budget though
  18. just had a look again at the first picture on phtoscape, its an odd one to call from the small picture it looks like there is one, yet zoom in on the area, its just colouration on the coin :/ and of course the 1876 with no H should look like the H coin (with the date where it is) but without a H, i'm not saying the H is missing, definatly not a full H visible though, i'm not 100% sure myself yet, but keep getting conflicting images when i check the images from differant zooms, just curious as to thinking if its perhaps a link to the missing H. on the picture linked it does show something underneath the 7 but it doesn't match up to the other coin's H (nothing near the 8) it does need explaining though, it just doesnt seem right, the H should be like the date and be visible
  19. the situation here is obvious as to what the problem is. one has a gorgeous looking obverse (#1) but a worn reverse. the colouration around the lettering is gorgeous and shos perhaps a lot less wear then the coin makes out as http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=962787 (if picture has lots of white around the coni use this) looks better on the reverse (and the portrait itself) but the legend is not as nice

    1926 Penny

    although this one is quite nice
  21. scott

    1926 Penny

    yet some come out very worn
  22. scott

    1926 Penny

    some come out slightly better grades then others, still plenty to go at
  23. scott

    1926 Penny

    yea, the date spacing isn't really a question, i think it just adds to the overall niceness of the piece i think halfpennys got off worse though can get edward VII with as much wear as bun head penny and george V shillings too :/ some old head pennies
  24. scott

    1926 Penny

    these are a few, not uploaded them all if anyone can identfy these, the 1908 date spacing looks good though
