Bernie

Well Done again! If I was you I would buy a national lottery ticket, about the same odds!

1933 copy: One pence piece 1933 original one of one needs a clean | eBay UK

Apparently the Ebay sale of the 1933 British penny on ebay is not in violation of the Ebay policy. Item number 406789410745 One pence piece 1933 original one of one needs a clean

Brilliant acquisition! especially as you are new to collecting varieties. It took me ~20 years to obtain an example. Your coin overall is a good clear example, well done! best of luck with future variety collecting. Bernie.

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.

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

Thanks Alan, worked perfectly!

I have downloaded the program but can't work out how to get picture size to 499Kb. Please guide step by step procedure. I tried setting resize to 0.499Mb but picture reduces to 57Kb.

If there are 50 examples, it still makes it much rarer than a 1930 Australian one penny, look what they sell for!

I believe the first print was 1736. Don't know whether it was as comprehensive.

I have placed a reference book of gold & silver coins 1066-1736, on Ebay, of which displays many pattern coins that I didn't know even existed. The book was issued in 1763 and is in my opinion, quite good condition for its age. Item id 145759903017
