    All attempts to contact him were ignored (to his detriment) and I got it through a 3rd/4th party.

    As a matter of interest, I've received a request from Wordpress that user "lspenny45" would like access to my collection website but I have no idea who this person might be. If lspenny45 reads this, please PM me so that I know who you are and I'll almost certainly grant access.

    You probably saw this on Ebay recently. The route to getting it was tortuous but I just had to have it - it's stunning. It's far and away the best of only 4 known examples (1862 over 1).

    My experience exactly.

    When I eventually checked my emails again, there was one from Baldwins at 15.43 confirming my registration. So I guess we're OK for next time ?

    Got home about 3.30 and tried to watch the auction but found I couldn't log in although I'm sure I've bid before in their auctions. Then tried to register only to find "registration pending" like you. A little later it appeared that I was able to bid although I received nothing to tell me that registration had been successful. Luckily I wasn't intending to bid but agree with you that it's pretty disappointing.

    Nice specimen, Mike. With reverse D* too (mine is plain D).

    These doubled character examples occur too often to be regarded as unique varieties but they do provide interesting variations for some collectors. When a character is overpunched with a different character it often becomes a recordable variety, even though both types are probably the accidental result of an attempt to repair a damaged die.

    Just bought on Ebay a nice example of the 1905 with smaller zero in the date as reported by Terry Eagleton earlier this year.

    My F148 high tide seems to be the same, although the numbers are different positions !

    Very nice coin, Mike. It's a little more common than the F76 but there aren't many nice ones around.

    A must for penny collectors http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1860-Penny-/142477664663?hash=item212c54a197:g:rLQAAOSwAtFZc0ys

    And now it's sold.

    Interesting indeed although the extra plumes are in a different place from the 1862 variety.

    Pics of my coins to add to the debate.
  16. secret santa
    I'm not sure.

    This is the one you've heard about. A beauty that I'd love to own.

    Herbert, please don't use that bullet - the bloodstain would ruin that pretty pink dress

    Sorry, didn't mean to criticise you - I thought that the auction house wrote the descriptions ! P.S. what's a Glock 17 ?
  20. secret santa
    Because they were sold in halfcrown and penny blocks, they didn't include the words "halfcrown" or "penny" in the individual descriptions and so they won't have turned up in any searches for those words. Not very clever marketing !!!!

    Ian, it didn't sell at the auction. That's all I know.
  22. secret santa
    Interesting to see that the specimen which sold last year at Baldwins for £72,000 only reached less than £50,000 yesterday at Heritage ! Actually, a far more realistic price in my view.
  23. secret santa
    They're genuine.
  24. secret santa
    But that's what it feels like with the pennies I want - just look at those Lavrillier 1933 pennies......
  25. secret santa
    Here she is. I know where it is but I can't tell (it's not me !)
