Copper, That farthing is not a D over D. Maybe the people bidding have never seen one, and think it is...but it is not. I have a pic of a really nice one I sold about 4 years ago, I'll see if I can find a pic of it.

Thanks Dave, She is a real (Irish) trouper, and is responding to treatment.

Right now it isn't bad, between my retirement insurance, my supplemental insurance and the charity grant, I pay nothing. But if I didn't have those three, it would cost what it says on the label below off of the medicine shipment. ...$2,903.15 per pill (21 pills) per month. The really nice thing about it is, my wife is responding to the treatment, and getting closer to remission. The bad thing is the disease is not cureable. (Multiple Myeloma, cancer of the bone marrow). We are making progress. Someone is looking out for us!

Dave, Your cost for the cannabis prescription, is the only thing wrong with the program. That product should be much cheaper than that, but when pharacutical companies get involved the price is always, almost unmanageable. I have a similar situation with my wife's cancer drug "Revlimid." it is $33,500 (retail) for 21 pills, which is a month's supply. I have retirement insurance, and additional supplemental insurance, but with that it is still $11,000 per month. I was lucky enough to get a grant from a charitable trust to pay for most of the balance of the cost for this year, because I am a pensioner, making less than 100k per year in retirement. This is my wife's 2nd year on this med. What happens after another year...who knows. I am sure the price will come down in 2020, after the patent expires on the product.

I agree Mike, if a natural item like cannabis will help a person who has pain, that can't otherwise be controlled, I think the prescription of the product could be a effective answer to the problem. I think it should be by prescription only though, so the distribution of the product could be controlled for the intended purpose only.

It looks like the 8 in the date is double engraved also!

Here you go Rob...That file type is a Nikon Camera file! http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fileextensions/f/nef-file.htm

Congratulations Neil on your new opportunity. I used to see Steve Hill here in the USA at some of the shows, maybe now I will get an opportunity to meet you in person there also!

Just saw this in a USA Publication A H Baldwin & Sons Ltd confirm the appointment of Neil Paisley as Managing Director. Neil joins Baldwin’s from Colin Cooke Coins. A familiar name and face to many in the trade, he has worked within the industry for more than 20 years.

That is definitely a open 3!

Paddy, When this site first opened, The site owner (Chris) did have a donation tab available, and while he does not solicit donations anymore, many of the regulars, who use the site a lot will send him 20-25 pounds now and then, to help with the expense of the site. Not a requirement however.

Don't forget your AARP card Dave...gets you 10% off on Hotels! ha,Ha.

Thanks Nordle.....

Is this a single? The coin is AU, so it is a pretty good example, if it is. Thanks to all for the help and the great pics.

Thanks Scott. Can you make a close up of just the step and wave, of the two?

Like I mentioned earlier, it would be nice if someone had a high quality single example to post. Most of the one's that people say are sngl, really look just worn and not really different, to me. Michael Gouby mentioned to me once that looking at the step from a 90 degree angle would make it clearer...but I still have not seen that much difference. Maybe I wasn't meant to see one! Ha,Ha.

Are you saying the difference between the sngl and dbl is the "width" of the lower step?

Does anyone have a close up, high quality image of a single line 1940 Penny? That seems to be something (the image) that is really hard to find.

Terry. Is the 3rd penny down a single step type?

The Gouby-x is mine. I was trying to respond yesterday but am having a little trouble with the Forum site...don't know why!

Nice improvement in photography. Which set of pictures looks more like the coin in hand?

That's a beauty Paulus!

UPIN, Nice 3 Pence. I like the toning, also a nice strike.

You are correct. The REG and FD are both re-engraved, and the A in Victoria is Strongly doubled (re-engraved). In fact the doubled "A" in Victoria is a identifier of the N/Z Obverse.
