I don't have a 1892 like that! If I ever find it again, I will pull it out.

Nordle, What year is the coin you show with the mark on the shoulder? I saw one like that in some coins I put away the other day, but I don't remember what date it was!

The 5 looks like it has a dent in it, from contact with something, or another coin.

Ah, that might be the explanation. Jerry The Half Penny CD with all the varieties was made by Mal Lewanden. He is on Facebook, you can probably message him there and purchase a copy. I think they are 20-25 pounds.

If it is the 1oz gold krugerand, it is one oz of gold! Gold is about $1050/oz, I think right now.

Cliff, Photo's through a slab, are almost impossible to get a decent example, with out a "glare" filter. I had the same problem, until I added a filter to my camera. The filter corrects the glare, or reflection issue.

I just went through 25 of them, but didn't find any with that die crack.

You are right about die polishing lines. Those are generally only found on higher grade coins. After a coin is circulated, die polishing lines tend to be the first part of the coin to wear (out).

I don't think it is a open three! The way the top is curved is a givaway!

The 1862/, 8/6, also looks like it is a 1862/1....... http://www.londoncoins.co.uk/?searchterm=1862+penny&searchtype=1&page=Catalogue Bob, when I click on your facebook link I get a message that I'm not part of the audience for that page - any suggestions ? Works OK for me ... nice to see that Martin and David are together at last I just checked it, and it is ok. The page is setup to accept all viewers. There might be a situation where you have to "Like" the page...not sure about that though. Thanks for visiting! ps Very noteworthy that Martin and Azda are shown together on the log, I know David feels very close with Martin! Ha,Ha!

I just sent 5 Pennies to the Isle of Man yesterday...is that close enough? Ha,Ha!

Yeah maybe its an early 1933.......Behave Bob.... LOL...... I wish! Too funny Pete!

Here are two that I have. Both are normal axis, but the one on the right, which is slabbed, almost looks like it is a overdate of some kind.

Happy Birthday Paulus. Go out and buy yourself a nice coin for your B-Day!....

He also has it listed as a "KN" but the picture shows a "H"......

I think the Edward VII Florin is one of Britain's best looking coins! Nice example!

Nice! :-)

Here she is guys. She is the Secretary of London Coins Limited, who owns 51% of CGS Grading. The other two Officers are Stephen and Gillian Lockett, who are Directors. Who owns the other 49%...I do not know.

She isn't married.....

Here is one that is easy to count the teeth on...definately 9.5 teeth!

You may be right Pete, however I was looking at the two ND examples that Gouby has in his book, and to me it looked more like the 12.5 tooth example. The O is a little bit slanted, and it would be easy to read it either way! Has anyone else have a opinion?

Good spot Terry - Michael Gouby's Victorian Penny book does picture a narrow 1880 and it's difficult to see whether your date is even narrower than his - there's not much in it. Even so, he'd only heard of 1 such example so it's not at all common. Richard I have 5 1880;s...they breakdown this way... qty 1 Narrow Date (12.5 teeth, like the one in the above example) 2 Wide Date (13.5 teeth, both are 8/8) 2 Wide Date (14.5 teeth)

Nice purchase Jerry...nice, clear 8/8. Also the O of ONE is extremely clear, and that is one of the identifiers!

Some anonymous donor in Chicago, places $20 gold pieces in the Salvation Army Christmas (Bell Ringer) buckets every year. The Salvation Army is so use to that happening, that they have a large coin dealer, in the area, that quickly turns the double eagles into cash for them!
