    It's extraordinary. Still can't find anything other than the 1881H. Actually, I might be interested in one of your F148's, depending on condition. Obviously though, I simply can't see it - for whatever obscure reason.

    What is it?

    Although of course, it won't be Peter Nichols himself, as he's retired, at least from cabinet making. His business was taken over and is now run by a Nottinghamshire family. They do, however, look very much like the typical Nichols cabinet. I do, meanwhile, like the look of the cabinets made by Rob Davis who himself, is a coin collector.

    Not as far as I can remember Pete. The last delivery from the US was the 1897 O.NE penny from Bob, which came via the USPS tracking facility - which incidentally was absolutely brilliant. I thought the tracking might stop when the item left the USA, but it carried on over here until right until the Royal Mail guy knocked at the door and I signed for it - took 9 days, 4 over there and 5 over here. Steep - and that would be on top of the 20% buyer premium. So 40% over hammer price. Thanks Bob - useful info.

    I've never paid anything on coins from the States. They've always just been delivered straight to my door. Is it due to the way they are described on the packet and the value quoted? I have paid customs duty on two other items, both of which took weeks to arrive and had obviously been opened.

    Presumably then Bob, the coins themselves would also be currently located in Dallas awaiting the auction - or perhaps not?

    There you go, Ian. Comes as a PDF download, so can't link unfortunately. But if you google "Terms and Conditions of auction - Heritage Auctions" it should come up.

    All I can say is "wow", what a collection ! The 1860 UNC (not that far off BU) mule penny interests me greatly, but I fear I would be blown out of the water on bidding. By the way the link is here for convenience.

    Hiram Brown Part 2, now runs to 4 pages. The additions are mostly pre 1860 copper pennies and halfpennies.

    Still no luck this end, Bob.

    I can't see anything other than the 1881H either. If I click "see other items" it just takes me back to the original page.

    Looks good Chris. I thought at first the new black and white emoticons had replaced the originals, but scrolling down, I note they are still there, so won't take the hump lol 🐫
  14. 1949threepence
    Ah, so that's the reason. Well I'm not more deserving than you. Although I'm not a legend, more a leg end
  15. 1949threepence
    It's incredible the rubbish they come up with to try and rip off the unsuspecting punter.
  16. 1949threepence
    Winning bid £1.00 Pete....'nuff said

    You're 'avin a larf my son link
  18. 1949threepence
    Yes, grading wise I'd say a/EF. Not sure on price as not my speciality. Bot someone else will know for sure.

    The fake news reference was only meant to be tongue in cheek. But the facts do show that there is no such Freeman type as the 10A.
  20. 1949threepence
    It's misleading Bob, misled both of us. When I first saw it on the dnw site, I genuinely thought it might be a new type, which is why I bought the up to date 2016 Freeman book, expecting to see it in there. Somebody, somewhere, has deliberately made that up. What's the modern expression? - fake news
  21. 1949threepence
    I mean, 10A would fit perfectly, but it's just not a real Freeman type. Highly regrettable that they indulge in such tactics.
  22. 1949threepence
    Well, thanks for this Paddy and for the thread, Madness. This was a subject about which I knew nothing. Wouldn't have even known what proclamation coins were. Certainly would never have guessed that coins from various lands were all used in Australia post 1800, and that each were allotted a different value. Perfect for collecting.
  23. 1949threepence
    Agreed, Jerry. Mine would be:- 1/ Keep a sense of humour. 2/ Accept that others beside me have a right to their opinion. We're all different. 3/ I'm not always right. In fact there is usually no definitively right or wrong answer. Life is not 20 maths questions. 4/ Go in with the perspective that you can have a blazing row, but still emerge mates afterwards, shake hands and have that cyber pint together.Whatever's said in here, we leave it at the door and don't talk about it anywhere else. 5/ Never hold a grudge. It's not personal, it's politics. 6/ I'm a rottweiler
  24. 1949threepence
    Similar to me Jerry. Marginally better than mine (which is example 15 in Richard's rarest pennies site for F32), but certainly not significantly enough to warrant me bidding.
  25. 1949threepence
    and I'd say an above the average, problem free example, from the admittedly limited population, Pete. So a bit of a win win. Had I not already got one, and seen that, I might well have gone to £875, or even pushed the bidding higher.
