I advise that you should not store your copper or bronze coins in anything that resembles plastic, such as plastic pockets. The coins will sweat and get verdigris.

Does any reader know when the Royal Mint will be selling 2026 coin sets etc. If my memory serves me correctly they were usually available in December of the previous year.

How about one penny ????????????

You're priceless Richard! 😃

Are you calling ME a moron Richard! LOL 😂🤣 PS. Thought to be the only existing example.

I believe that the different weight coins were produced to test the dies on different width flans. Paul Holland has investigated this , Apparently the weight of the individual new flans was to equate to how many coins could be struck to the weight of one pound. If my memory serves me correct, one particular weight of flans worked out to 30 coins per pound.

Auction details of collection, starting at page 11, lot 186 online. Sovereign Rarities

It would be more frustrating if a die 7 turned up!!🤣

I agree, but my own patience to have a collection is short! can't wait forever.

Problem is, those "occasions" can be very rare.

The Freeman 32 was unsold in the Sovereign Rarities Auction. There is a member of this forum who has a coin that I would like. I believe that he will be definitely aware of which coin this is. would you consider an exchange for my Fr32 penny? Contact me please by forum messaging if you are interested. I will hold the penny for a week for you to consider this offer.

I agree Richard. Hopefully the five pennies that you mention go to penny collectors on this forum! Overall I am very pleased with the total. Shame the 1954 didn't sell like Del Boys Watch!

Brilliant Pictures!

It's either an A/A or R/R, two different die pairs. This appears to be R/R

Yes, and also Lot 210, not Freeman 38 but should read Fr39A
