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

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.

Could you provide the link please.

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

Interesting - are these varieties formally documented anywhere ?

Sadly, not within my remit.

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.
-
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

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 ??)

And I've sent him a blank version of the Word document that I use.

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.

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.
