  1. Nice info - I hadn't noted that. Normal tide on left; high tide on right
  2. Thanks - so, it does exist, but clearly they have erroneously given two different coins the same identifying code (K69).
  3. 2022.
  4. In the 2024 Coins of England decimal edition, on page 97 variety K69 is a Queen Elizabeth £2 coin but on page 405, K69 is a Charles III £2 coin. The QEII coin is supposedly a "Britannia" variety bearing a "privy mark" denoting the year of her death but I can't find any photos/trace of this coin. Can anyone help ?
  5. Clicking on the link gives several options to download - which do you recommend ?
  6. I suspect that there are around 50-100 examples. I stopped recording them coming to market several years ago.
  7. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204853278137?itmmeta=01J19R66GKQ4EAWG8C5J6RZVCG&hash=item2fb234f5b9:g:N4wAAOSwmehmetfM What a bargain - less than £1000 per coin !!!!
  8. I haven't bought much lately but I did get this from the Sovereign Rarities auction - unusual wide date.
  9. I receive a printed catalogue for every auction - looks like I'm one of the lucky ones.
  10. Why not check out London Coins website for past sales of 1880 pennies - that will give a decent idea of what it might be worth. https://londoncoins.co.uk/?page=Pastresults&searchterm=1880+Penny&searchtype=1&red=1
  11. There appear to be other extraneous lumps and bumps too. Nothing to get excited about.
  12. Can you supply the link please ?
  13. Any response ?
  14. Well done, boys.
  15. I have messaged him several times telling him that this coin is not unique or rare but he ignores me and persists to fraudulently advertise it on Ebay. Maybe a few more messages from other collectors might convince him ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266776453944?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11011.m43.l1123&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=297be0ec5ffd48a1a674033d3c313703&bu=43154646029&exe=0&ext=0&osub=-1~1&crd=20240419233910&segname=11011
  16. I messaged him to say that it was not the 1927 reverse and to mention the confusion of obverse and obtuse - he then changed the description to the "rare 1927 obverse". I then messaged him to say that it was not the 1927 obverse (M.E.) but he has not replied. Fortunately, no-one has been daft enough to bid on it.
