I wait with bated breath (saves me looking !)

I've added a little more to the Victoria bronze obverse page on this. https://pennyvarieties.wordpress.com/victoria-bronze-part-2-1861/

Me too.

Thank you for your kind comments but the halfpenny site is very much an afterthought, something to do in Lockdown. Pennies are my main (only) interest.

I've mentioned this with pictures on my varieties website for Edward VII pennies but haven't noticed it on 1900 pennies.

Yes, slip of the keyboard ! £12,880.

I was going to bid for the 1895 pattern (F777) at Noonan's today. A similar specimen sold for £3500 on Baldwin's list in 2011 but today it went for £10,880 !!!!!!!!! Needless to say, I didn't buy it.

That must weigh heavy on your mind. -
Any garden pics this year?

My 3 tiered cordyline also bit the dust. I've cut the trunks down to ground level and with luck they will regrow - it did once before when the same happened. -
That makes sense now. Thanks for the pics.

Have you posted any photos of this ?

My rarest coin is a 1922 penny obverse 4+ reverse C - unrecorded and the only specimen I've ever seen come to market. I have a photo of what appears to be a BU specimen of the same die pairing but I can't find any confirmation of its existence.

I'm not sure it's there.

Campanula ? (blue, bell-shaped flowers) -
I think I remember Michael Gouby told me a few years ago that DNW had asked him to go through a collection of pennies to help them identify the varieties but, as they didn't offer him anything for his trouble, he declined.

Not a trace !

You can always get replacement drawers with the appropriate size of recess - I did that a few years ago with a second hand cabinet that I bought.

Ah, Heavy Eyes Lost Me My Coin at Noonan's Today
secret santa replied to VickySilver's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I sympathise, Eric. Many's the time I've just done a "5 minute job" before my lot came up only to get engrossed and completely forget about until it's too late. The scars never heal ! -

I have noticed that the normal obverse 1 has 157 border teeth and the Hollow Neck variety has 163 teeth. -

I've just been looking at these 1911 reverses and it seems to me at first glance that the best way of distinguishing between them is by the position of the middle date numeral 1. It is either (virtually) over a bead or a gap. Or am I barking up the wrong tree ? -

Ignore my previous post - I wasn't aware of Gouby's new types. I'll do some work on those and update my website.
