So it is - how did you spot that ???
-
What's that ????
-
There was a very nice F1 penny described as F6 which I though might go for a bargain price but it was spotted and bid up to over £1400.

London Coins lot 1562 Dec 1st 2024
secret santa replied to Coinery's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
You can tell from the screenshot that you posted - whenever a lot is not shown with a hammer price, it has not sold. Actually I find their website quite friendly compared with some, e.g. Spink whose archive facility is criminally bad. -
Plus ça change.....

Love those Quatermass films - my mum and dad wouldn't let me watch it when it was televised on BBC in black and white back in the day. -
I've bought several like this hoping it was a number - perhaps even the fabled number 1 - but it never is !

Did I miss something?

Yes, But I forgot to record what price it fetched. -
I'm just praying that Atlas will be bidding when I sell my collection !
-
The majority of the most expensive coins in last week's Workman sale of pennies went to a single bidder - it will be interesting to see whether they turn up on Atlas' site.

I'm not sure; I've called it a pattern but I've not seen it in hand so it might be a proof but it's probably unique being struck with reverse Freeman K which has the non-heraldically coloured shield. -

This is the 1885 penny that you really want. I could kick myself for missing out on this a few years ago. -

Just a nice coin, I think. Although not that much better than my own specimen bought for £35 in 1999. -
There is a circled character (or something similar) clearly stamped on both sides.

Michael is fine - we exchanged emails last week.

Minor GB Penny Queries - Etched 1860 ?, Lower 90 in 1890
secret santa replied to The Bee's topic in Free for all
I would say that the rotated T is the most interesting of the 3 repairs but they all result from the same manual intervention, rather than being a considered design change. -
Minor GB Penny Queries - Etched 1860 ?, Lower 90 in 1890
secret santa replied to The Bee's topic in Free for all
These repairs were very common in the early 1860's. -
Done, with pleasure.
-
I'm adding the pattern pennies to my rarest penny site for completion (on a single page).

I've sent you a message.

There were only 2 parts for Bernie's sale; the other part may be the rest of the coins in the auction ?
-
I've sent both.
-
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.
