David, I have a pair of Low and High Tide Farthings, but there isn't a "P" on the Farthing to check. The only thing I can see different from one to the other is the center Trident tine points a little different on one than the other. I will get some pics later and send them. Both coins are in holders, and I have to take them out and take the pics.

I did have a great Birthday today, capped off with Pizza Party tonight with my family. Also Thanks for the many well wishers from the Forum Members! Merry Christmas to you and your Family also Pete !

Above is my 1922 "no D" (strong reverse) in Fine condition. This is the coin Vicky is referring too!

Pete, Remember this is the Christmas Season of Good Will, etc!

Thanks to everyone for the Birthday Wishes. Here in the "Colonies" the weather is unseasonably warm (60 yesterday, about the same today). I think the weatherman accomplished this, just for my Birthday!

It looks like the 8 might have been punched to high originally, and then re-punched lower, to make it in alignment with the other characters.....

:DThat's a stonker of a coin though Bob, a nice find! Thanks Guys. It is a F-191 (colon after DEF: to the tooth).

Bob that must of been stashed in a virgins silk knickers for the last 94 years. Stunning example. I did buy it off of a Lady! Ha,Ha!

New purchase, just arrived. Gem 1921 Penny...

Details of 1904 Pennies for your delectation: Closed ‘9’ where the loop of the ‘9’ narrows to a point and meets the down stroke. This type has a narrow ‘4’, particularly on the horizontal and diagonal strokes, tilted clockwise and low down in the exergue. The foot of the ‘4’ is over a border tooth (number 11, when counted from the tooth under the ‘1’), giving a narrow date. Closed ‘9’ with a narrow ‘4’, not tilted clockwise or low down in the exergue. The foot of the ‘4’ is over the space between teeth numbers 11 and 12. Closed ‘9’ with a narrow ‘4’, which is high in the exergue. The foot of the ‘4’ is over the right of border tooth 12, giving a wider date. Open ‘9’ where the loop of the ‘9’ is blunt and does not touch the down stroke. The ‘4’ is wider, closer to the exergue line and the whole coin is a dark colour. Open ‘9’ where the ‘4’ is again wider, but the whole coin is a light brown colour.There are also unconfirmed reports of three further types: A closed ‘9’ type paired with a thicker ‘4’. An open ‘9’ with a narrow ‘4’. An open ‘9’ type, with a wide ‘4’ but with a short plume to Britannia’s helmet.I just looked at 4 examples that I have, and all of them are Open 9, with 11.5 teeth in date width.

I insured a $5400 coin shipment to Great Britain, and it cost $120. I got the insurance from Endicia, the same people that handle my postage program.

The center example looks to me like it is a wider date!

I've made that mistake a few times also Bernie, so I know where you are coming from. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt many times, I've just wasted £10 on a standard 1863 penny, that looked a little odd in the photo. I spend a lot of time looking at coins on Ebay trying to find varieties, many of which are never listed even by experienced sellers - how many listings do you see for 1913 die pairings? I'm still trying to find a decent 1+B F175. 1909 F169 and 1908 F164a are still on the radar. I take the view, if I've done the leg work, and I'm prepared to get it wrong more often than not, then interesting items I do manage to buy at a low price are fair game. Good point David. I agree 100%.

Really good information Nordle, thanks!

I bought one just like that one David, and it turned out to be a regular 3. The picture did not show the "top" of the bottom loop of the three. It looked a lot different in hand!

Yes I'll see if I can got onto him during the week - unfortunately the halfpennies are a bit unloved and there's no good up-to-date reference with decent pictures (that I know of anyway). Most of the pictures on Mal's CD are very good! In fact some reference books, including CCGB have used them, in their publ;ications.

The above F-14 was sold to a client a couple of years ago, and now I have purchased it back (he upgraded). The LCW under the foot is kind of a tough one to find. This coin has a really clear L in the LCW...most of these types the L looks like a "I". There is also a really unusual die crack to the left of the date.

Is https://www.facebook.com/MalLewendon or https://www.facebook.com/malcolm.lewendon the guy? Wasn't sure on the spelling of the surname. That is him Mr T........

Rash....Here is the whole reverse of the 1946 "Dot" Here is another 1946 "apostrophe" much like your coin.

The 1946 "dot" is the least dot-like of all these features and, on an uncirculated example can be seen as just a lump of clag. See below 1946 F233 ONE' Flaw zoom.JPG I have a 1946 Dot like yours, but I also have a CGS Slabbed 1946, with almost a perfect "Dot"...pic attached.

I saw one advertised in a on-line auction a while back, but I do not recall what auction Company it was...maybe London...not sure.

Sorry to be late Matt...Happy Birthday!

There are a few of the "Dots" that do not appear in the legends. Here is a 1855 Penny, with a "dot" on Victoria's forehead!

I like it. A nice sharp strike! good purchase.
