Oops! Senile moment

I think this flaw due to die fill occurs on a variety of years if folk look out for them. The 1934 missing waves is no different, but has the kudos of an example being in the Bernie Weightman sale. So they are of interest to those who collect die clogs etc, but I certainly do not think it has any place in a gallery of rare varieties.

See this 2p varieties

and 1931

1929 penny, missing waves and normal

Definitely die fill in my view, I don’t have a 1934, but I have very similar from both 1929 and 1931

He could do with buying Chris’s new book, for a bit of practice The Coin Colouring Book

The baby is EDVIII comes in two common varieties, 1896 and 1897, the former advertising Remington. I seem to remember a smaller white metal version exists

I was lucky with this one, bought as a standard 1915, the broken tooth is much less than the 1916 recessed ear variety. Be nice to find a recessed ear 1915 from an early strike without damage

Give one to a small child as a gift, and it will broken open in 5 minutes. That’s why toys still in the box fetch a high premium

Not aware of any decimal issues, but then never checked. I did pull several well circulated 1953 pennies out of circulation back in the day

Or a botched 5 over 3?

my assumption too, i wonder if a specialized Bolivian catalogue exists with more info

Circulation issue of the above, with privy marks for Paris mint. A single year type difficult in high grade

Working for years in the NHS I came across lots of names Theresa Green works best with a Scouse accent. But I still remember the little 5yr old called Annette Curtin David

And then there is this chap Altered dates

Thanks guys. Ann-Marie had been ill a long time, the hospital told us over a year ago that there was nothing further they could do. Three weeks ago she was readmitted, they discharged her saying the choice was the hospice or home. We took her home and she passed away last Thursday. Can't thank the District and Macmillan nurses enough, they did their very best to ensure she did not suffer.

Grease fill ??

I have to admit to being a date set collector, but I am old enough to have completed the penny one of each date set from circulation, all bar the 1951 ( I bought one a couple of years ago) It's when you start trying to get all the varieties that the fun starts

Three more fake bun pennies here and in seller's other listings, though these are all listed as forgeries

Fake for me

another dangerous modern fake, 1933 penny

Can I second that in spades! on 20 September I fell at home, getting my leg tangled in furniture, leading to a fracture of the distal femur just above the knee. I was in hospital until just before Xmas, and I am still non weight bearing, so sleeping downstairs and walking with a Zimmer All the NHS staff were brilliant, and I mean all , not just doctors and nurses, also the physios, OTs, porters, cleaners etc. The main problem they were all working long shifts and there was gross understaffing. I saw staff in tears due to frustration they couldn't give the level of care they thought patients needed. So I am still receiving treatment, I need to go back in shortly for a marrow treatment to encourage new bone growth.

I use Gouby for my bronze pennies, but include Freeman in brackets in the label. Hopefully a revised renumbered "Son of Freeman" will appear in the future for us to use as a reference, time moves on, who still uses Peck numbers for bronze?

It might do, if anyone needs the birds foot flaw variety
