    There is a collection of pennies in the next London Coins auction with several rare examples that I don't have on my rare penny site. Does anyone know more details of the seller (assuming they don't want to remain anonymous) ?
  2. secret santa
    what coin is it ?
  3. secret santa
    Around the right hand side like this ?

    Help me please - what exactly stood out ? I still can't see any significant differences in my own recessed and non-recessed coins.
  5. secret santa
    I personally can never see much difference between recessed and non-recessed ear varieties.

    For 1881H F108, Michael pictures 1881Ha and 1881 Hb - Ha with lower H and Hb with higher H, both with 11.5 teeth spacing. No mention of either of these being unusual, and no mention of rarity.

    Rather than missing waves, I'd say that it's the exergual line that's (partially) missing, probably damaged post-mintage.
  8. secret santa
    Honest answer - absolutely not.

    Love that book and film.

    Take a look at: https://headsntails14.wordpress.com/victoria-bronze-reverses/
  13. secret santa
    143 is correct
  14. secret santa
    Yes, you're right, it's the LCA picture of my coin - strange how different photos of the same coin can be so different at first glance.
  15. secret santa
    Out of interest, may I ask where this picture came from ?
  16. secret santa
    You can't really compare this with the 1877 F90 which is one of the truly most sought after rarities in the bronze penny range, instantly recognisable and a true "variety", whereas the BP1860Jb is more of a "novelty" variety without being disrespectful to it. I suspect that not many people look for it, but it is interesting and congratulations for finding another example.

    Thanks Terry - I'll add it to the site.
  18. secret santa
    I don't think so. Terry - that's my own coin and it's not the one featured here.

    ??
  20. secret santa
    Do I have this one on my website ?
  21. secret santa
    It's not PFENNY - it's PFNNY
  22. secret santa
    I was going to say that it's fine on my PC but then it took around 20 seconds to come up.
  23. secret santa
    Definitely not an H - as in all your pictures of the 1875H, the H is below the 7 and 5 whereas on your coin, the shadowy "H" is higher.
  24. secret santa
    I would say it's an F82. The figure 5 is more upright on the 1875H.

    Yes, "The British Bronze Penny 1860 to 1970", but it's out of print (it's another A4 ring binder).
