    Freeman's update:

    P.s. just checked it doesn't have the ME obverse, as I think the specimen(s) do. Michael Freeman published an update to his book for the 1922/26/27 pennies in the BNJ, as I recall. I have a copy somewhere! Edit: It may be in the Spink Circular, rather than the BNJ. I will check when I have a chance.

    Nice one Bob. I'm guessing it was the eBay coin as Declan suggests? Is that for stock or your collection?
  4. Accumulator
    How on earth did you manage to scan the edge? Now that is clever!
  5. Accumulator
    Yes it is a nice penny, and a great web coin cabinet !! Thanks guys! I've recently picked up a few more pennies which need to be added when time allows.

    I'm particularly partial to the tone of this 1868 proof penny in copper:

    I've never really looked at tokens, but can't fail to be impressed with these examples. Welcome to the site!

    I'd never be interested in a coin like that

    I was thinking it might make 6 figures, even in 'about fine' - not that grade would be as big a consideration as normal! Imagine the kudos if you owned one that was universally agreed to be genuine ... sky's the limit! I would guess £85k+I'm trying not to talk the price up!

    £30k +

    If one were to come onto the market….

    I agree, that reproduction is all wrong. I would rather have a space filler that looked like this:

    I don't know sixpences, so have no comment on the price. I would vouch for Heritage as an organisation though. The quality of the photos, particularly taken through slabs, is unbeaten by anyone else (you have to join to see the hi-res version) and the customer service is excellent.

    15 leaves?

    Wow! I just sold a single penny for $350 through Heritage. Admittedly I'd previously bought it from them, by mistake (I wasn't concentrating and actually wanted and secured the following lot). No mention of a $5,000 minimum though!

    mycoincollection.co.uk cost me just a few quid. I didn't buy it for business but I imagine more users search Google for 'coin collection' than 'numismatics'.
  17. Accumulator
    Hopefully not the copper or bronze!

    What always amazes me is that there are very serious collectors out there (e.g. The buyer if this coin and many others) who apparently have no wish to share their enthusiasm publicly. A very basic Google search will reveal the existence of this forum, but still the large majority of collectors prefer to remain anonymous.

    Below is a link to a post I made about 3 years ago explaining how you can quite effectively embed photos into Excel spreadsheets using the 'comment' feature. It works very neatly and pops up the photos as you hover over a cell rather than having to show all the photos all of the time. I use it for a spreadsheet with several hundred coins and experience no problem. The thread is here

    Or some toned and perfect lustre:

    And a couple more:

    And I have to get a few pennies! Nice chocolate toning:

    I put in a low offer as I just couldn't see any great value in this coin. Have just watched the auction on line and saw it go for £6,800+ (commission). Is that the power of national newspapers at work? Crazy!
  24. Accumulator
    It was apparently sold privately. Not to me, I should add, though I did make a substantial offer. I'm sure the new owner will be very pleased with the addition to their collection.

    The reverse shows quite a lot of wear, looking at Britannia's hand or the thistle in the exergue, for example.
