    The hair detail is stunning, and far in excess of what one would expect from a 1921 penny.

    Freeman 73: 7 + H. Reverse I is as shown in Paddy's post above. Note the taller helmet plume and slightly bulkier, shorter lighthouse.

    If anyone has one to sell, or sees one, I'd be grateful if you'd let me know. Been trying to get a high grade example for several years, but there just don't seem to be any available. Thanks in advance.

    Yes, the number of sellers you see who will not send to Italy, as well as the other countries on your list. To be honest, I'd kind have expected better of Canada. But maybe that's a form of unconscious bias.

    Probably a lone simpleton voice in the wilderness here, but apart from obverse 4, I find L C WYON an absolute sod to even make out. It seems to be half hidden underneath the base of the bust, and you have to really struggle to find it, even under magnification.

    As I recall your F24 was a nice one as well.
  7. 1949threepence
    There is no way I would ever part with such a piece, Ian. Irreplaceable, literally as well as figuratively.
  8. 1949threepence
    Thanks Ian. Your F32, example 12 on Richard's site, is a stunning specimen.

    Take the last digit of the price away, and it might be a more realistic ball park.
  10. 1949threepence
    Absolutely. Clear cut error confirmed by the Royal Mint. Nice investment for somebody.
  11. 1949threepence
    Ian - could you do a pic of your type 2 F32 obverse?
  12. 1949threepence
    Mine is clearly type 1, as is Jerry's. Ian's second example is obviously type 2. Thanks Bernie. Incredibly useful info, as it's very difficult to get much insight into differences on such a rare variety.

    For sorting coins to? Got to be classical. Maybe a little Debussy (Arabesque springs readily to mind), or perhaps William Walton's "Crown Imperial", Edward Elgar's "Triumphal March". Possibly even "Jupiter" from Holst's planet suite. Something inspiring, any rate..

    It would be incredibly useful if the Royal Mint would make a list of these. No names, no pack drill, but just a summary of which denominations in which year, for actual VIP's.
  15. 1949threepence
    Just out of interest, how can you tell it's 1796?
  16. 1949threepence
    Me too, Pete. Should hopefully be some high end rarities in there.
  17. 1949threepence
    Looks as though dnw are doing this. Part 1 (which admittedly doesn't contain a massive amount) is on their catalogue for 13th/14th June 2018 auction. Whether succeeding parts will be added to this or subsequent auctions - well who knows at this stage? link
  18. 1949threepence
    Don't know either way Pete.
  19. 1949threepence
    Some of these differences are very subtle.
  20. 1949threepence
    Not any more. We're onto these Russians and their cyber shenanigans, now.
  21. 1949threepence
    Incidentally, with regard to the Gouby ja, Goubt describes the j as "Underneath of Brit's helmet as concave" and ja as "Underneath of Brit's helmet upright".
  22. 1949threepence
    Freeman 72, Paddy - 7 + H. The neck can be deceptive on worn coins.
  23. 1949threepence
    Well done Jerrry - especially the F98, which seem to be incredibly difficult to get in high grade. Sone really nice buys there.
  24. 1949threepence
    It is indeed. Thanks Bernie.
  25. 1949threepence
    Yes, yours shows the same pattern as mine. With that level of wear on Britannia, you'd reasonably expect commensurate wear of and quite possibly rubbing of the lettering. But that's not the case.
