It appears that Bernie had got his coins slabbed for the sale and interesting to compare the gradings against previous provenance, e.g. the 1863 die 2 was described as VF in the Laurie Bamford sale but had been graded as AU details-cleaned for Bernie's sale. And the F76 was EF in Laurie's sale but had improved to Unc in Bernie's sale ! As they say, grading is in the eye of the beholder.

I did exactly the same but with description and commission added as well - nice to see us nerds are alive and well !
-
Agree - they made a great job of the catalogue.
-
Zilch !
-
Total prices with commission - over £420K !

Just finished watching it. Fabulous prices but some real bargains on some rarities, e.g. F112, F90, 1863 slender 3, F27 and F76. Patterns and proofs through the roof. There was persistent brinkmanship on the bidding and the auctioneer missed bids on 3 lots when she took her eye off the screen and brought the hammer down microseconds after a new bid had flashed up. Bernie may well be in for a huge CGT bill !!! The majority of lots went to a single bidder - I'd love to know who that was.

I'm sure they'll be on the website by tomorrow, but I'll probably be noting the prices realised.

I've added it as a sub-variety of reverse G. It's the first time I've updated the site for a few years. -

The R over R also has a die flaw from the top of the wreath to the rim. -

Go on, indulge yourself.

I've just checked and it appears that they have taken the photos either from my website or the Royal Mint Museum as it's clearly the same coin ! https://rarestpennies.wordpress.com/1933-f786-pattern/

Hang on - isn't this one of the Lavrillier patterns ?

Penny Acquisition of the week
secret santa replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Apologies, Jerry, for forgetting to add this but it's up now. -
I emailed Steve Hill about that yesterday and it was just in time for them to correct before printing the catalogues.

Martin, if you click on the link and bring up the PDF, there should be an icon somewhere on the top right like a downward arrow above above a "tray" - if you click on this it will download the PDF to a folder that you nominate.

Bernie's collection is now available as 2 PDFs - superb pictures. https://www.sovr.co.uk/

Excellent - thanks.

Certainly was.

£15,150.

I hadn't realised that he was the same Geoff Cope that played cricket for Yorkshire & England !

Don't think I know that one.
