What do you need from me?

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

I am sure they did as it was an auction listing rather than a buy-it-now (I saw it too and took screenshots also, so you're not going mad, Terry). Changing the image and the title is a way for the seller and buyer to avoid others noticing - though they did - and to avoid a hefty eBay fee to boot. Wonder who got it and for what actual price??

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.

That's definitely a 4th example - somebody must have nipped in and got it at a bargain price.

I presented my findings back to Tony Clayton and they've been on his website ever since.

Could you provide the link please.

[Type 4 & 5 - 1992 ten pences]

I can feel a new website coming on - maybe next winter.

[Type 4 & 5 - 1992 ten pences]

Interesting - are these varieties formally documented anywhere ?

[Type 4 & 5 - 1992 ten pences]

How many types are there ?

I have 4 1992 10p's, all with the I pointing to a gap and the 1 pointing to a bead.

Concentrate on making the penny site bullet proof.

Sadly, not within my remit.

[My Halfpenny varieties site]

After posting the initial bad news, I somehow managed to recover the Victoria obverses (I'm not sure how) but am unable to update the page - also the Victoria reverses.

Sadly, on these free sites, the support facilities aren't great.

I have no idea how these 2 pages lost the ability for updates; the other pages are still updateable at the moment but I'm fearful for their fate.

[My Halfpenny varieties site]

Has become corrupted and all the information on Victoria obverses has been lost. Victoria reverses will be gone next and I don't have the hard copies to recreate them.

I will probably take the site down soon.

Sorry to halfpenny collectors.

The 1861 F23 proof was:

 Struck in January 1861 as part of an experiment to determine whether the weight standard of the new bronze coins should be altered in order to coin 40 instead of 48 pieces to the pound avoirdupois

I don't think it is a repro.

No, it's the one that sold in Bernie's sale. The seller must be some sort of moron.

Get in quickly before the seller realises his penny is rarer than he thinks !

Thanks Terry

Maybe weak sea rather than missing, but I've not seen it on 1930 coins.(Can you "not see" what isn't there ??)

There was talk on here a few years back about an official re-write of Freeman (maybe either by Michael himself, or under his auspices?)

Chris Perkins had thought that it might be a future option. Michael Freeman had approved the release of the paperback version but had opted out of any future involvement himself.

Is there a .pdf of the Bernard Workman Collection auction available by any chance?

Steve Hill of Sovereign rarities sent me a nice 4 page Word document containing pictures of most of the coins as a pre-auction publicity release. If you let me have your email address, I'll mail it to you.
