  1. Paddy started following Victorian Penny Forgeries , Found in old family memorabilia , Mr and 2 others

    I'm not the expert on these, but that looks like Lauer toy money.

    Site seemed to be down most of the morning - only just got back in. Any ideas what caused the issue?

    I got my first Charles III 5p in change today - 2023.

    I don't have Gouby and I haven't really got into these date width varieties, but I get from the above that mine is Ba?

    There are hole drills without the centre drills - like these: A hole punch would leave different damage and would certainly have deformed the reverse.
  7. Paddy
    Someone has started drilling it with a hole drill and given up. Or maybe it was being used as a backstop when they were drilling something else.

    Now I know how non-coin people feel when they see our conversations on varieties!

    I messaged them too and have just had a reply - thanking me and saying they have taken the item down.

    I am impressed that so many of your Whisky bottles still have contents! Mine always seem to spring a leak...

    Here are some close ups of the ships I took sometime ago. First is a 5 Incuse, although an older version than my current, then plain then 7 rellief.

    Sadly not! Just a lot of magnifying glasses! No way you could see it from the photo I agree.

    I like that there are variations with the 1799. I have 3 - 5 incuse gunports (which seems to be the most common), 7 relief gunports and plain hull. The best is probably this 5 incuse:

    OK - so I have copied it across: "I am not sure there are any experts specifically on Victorian penny forgeries, but there are lots of Penny experts here, who can spot a forgery a mile off! Are you looking at contemporary forgeries (I am not aware there are many of those), or the ubiquitous modern fakes? I think a new thread would be best."

    After another couple of months, it now looks like this. This photo taken with the new camera I have just picked up - I have not quite got the hang of the focus and exposure yet - sorry! The "copper disease" is much less evident in the hand and the coin will never be perfect again, but I think better than it was.
