secret santa

It happens from time to time - no particular date.

Update - although I didn't see the duplicated list at my end, I checked the actual page in edit mode and it was duplicated which hopefully I've fixed.

Interesting - when I click on Paddy's links, I do see the duplicated varieties list but I also do see the A B C D images !

In a separate unrelated email, copied to myself, Michael Gouby writes: "In 1806 to 1861 100’s of dies had the legend letters and numerals re-punched so as to keep the die going. An entire book could be filled if one were to record every minor off-set letter or numeral re-punch of that period. It neither add nor detracts value from the coin and are not recorded for that reason". I don't collect such occurrences myself but, if it gets more people interested in the subject, am happy that people share their examples.

Hope you got your kicks !

Can someone explain to me exactly what is being sold ??? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/357344860398?itmmeta=01K0XNS1YDA2N8BZ4Q2QCM7QB0&hash=item533369d8ee:g:VF8AAeSw-pZogd8O&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAAwFkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1cRNo4%2FpXChUU%2BG7R23HOAyWmRON4kuXDvK3cOSSaqt%2FAOBreJ0qimDWkdKHjCAoSGxwwrep7RlUYQ3%2FIrwtPkMtXMK2wh24MYoAaX4gluqHqgiML6d1noQ5jA4WZV%2FAO6Yit77enDPacO5D%2Bt54z3gP930bLOsPv9bAqixs4bj055GNHVBQe0rjj46I7sMrFrw%2BaMIXW3Rmj0BuPS%2FndYLsnJ%2Fiej%2FpxngK6E2ItBoJw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7Kf5LWHZg

But when I logged out and then back in, I was able to post it !!!

I used to love that old BBC police drama Schauffle Schauffle.

I've just had the same message when just replying to a post without even attempting to post an image.

I'm afraid that the higher res photos didn't really shed any light, so I would echo Martin's comments.

Anyone spot the 1844 DFF penny at Noonans today ?

Yes, the bottom of the smaller 0 is level with the 1 but the larger 0 is below the 1.

My website also has pictures.

Yup !

Yes, I think I'll add it to my rare penny site - I'd appreciate anyone's photos, please.

Have you looked at my website ? Your picture is clearly ja. https://pennyvarieties.wordpress.com/victoria-bronze-reverses/ Rev j above Rev ja above

Obverse 2 - 143 teeth

These are very low resolution pics, of necessity, I know. Any chance you could email me higher res pics if I send you my email address ? Cheers Richard

Very interesting - could you post full obverse and reverse pics please.

Interesting - they've brought out a new replica version of the Victoria copper penny with slightly different engraving to the hair among other things. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/297276769179?itmmeta=01JTE8F3234WHF1HM7JWMH2BWM&hash=item453713839b:g:CpQAAeSweYJoEyyQ&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAAwFkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1e5ss3Jgnyy4zFpTgT9YSajr66W99ezTrrAu6YzxxkDMDzlAEkBcJsJAtc%2BeFi1Jdgncfk0IoY3WslogoWLquiA6fmxawT13yxy6pzmok2JMfoDx4barv5Kjhv%2FsRMiiKACDrsVxI8xQA62V4kpub%2BagVVN%2B2%2Bm0DGmv3TMQzZqC0PuR8Y60Tk0WRcF6074y1Kbpi9Z2KLbx1efbu1DY4Qx%2FXtGb1bJcwwB2MuVxfPm3A%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5axvMjTZQ

I've added it to my site so please let me know if the "dots" are easily removed.

Just a name so that I can put "picture courtesy of ...."

That's a new one to me. I'd like to add it to my rare penny site if that's OK. If so, could you post the full obverse photo and let me know if you'd like to be acknowledged. Thanks, Richard

Have I got all 3 of these, Jerry ?

The F44 slender 3 penny - The seller contacted me separately afterwards asking me to verify the coin - he withdrew it earlier after realising what it might be. I asked him what he's going to do with it but he didn't reveal his plans.
