Where did you find it, Terry ?

And yet another (this person needs the appropriate treatment) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/358558652610?itmmeta=01KRNYZFVFSVZCD2C7D3B07R5C&hash=item537bc2d8c2:g:1d0AAeSwnxZqBwHF&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA4GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xBitEe9RDa3sc7hUT9hX%2FCOfxQKyq%2Ffk9mvXOGbDczpUO9joLFvUS2WadpYmPIOnOAlf0YszrS2sdD8A1SJuELkDUqma1VpZnEy5q4ZXojfFHwyhdE%2BTCVfVAmS%2BC97DrbSX40H4RetRi4Gu7VpPOYPQ8N2Oho%2FSa9VEl8vLNcwB7paH1zB721WMloM8o9WVt59UTO1G1T%2BdwM36QfBsO4lddL5fyB5pBoVMFq2o7jay63EgK9cPpx%2FOTWHxhuG%2FVF5GY2mna9%2BULIMUbH1ZCiv|tkp%3ABk9SR4L-_b7FZw

Same person trying it on with this one too: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/358558890892?itmmeta=01KRNYZFVEXDJJJAVW06CPZJVV&hash=item537bc67b8c:g:~xkAAeSwWz1qBxvu&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAAwGfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xCC3fibdv6x%2FwSB3pJNwWmYkR4i9QVFdzzfAUIFEMnq8MGza0ozA%2FpPjvcBXVey%2B6iiUuDXGxFFCM1vF4npG5fdd8kPkCejVF6k7AriisAlkVB%2B6x3i7nBZMZhLMogjjDkV4fd0n2ZedXZiZl%2FT2LZ0AFMTMJiKnsUZcOwjcNDPm3b4jMdQTVNlbDyQSeu3It%2BC3p5UIjevV%2BgTFLraaxxMva7xtS42Rv7TVG%2Frd322xQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR4D-_b7FZw

There is a fraudulent offering of a "B over R" 1862 penny at the moment. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/358547749431?itmmeta=01KRG4XN5S967RPZAG8EF2K7GD&hash=item537b1c7a37:g:mUMAAeSwCctqAxfH&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA4GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xCEj7UbS%2FkFL8LDJtuLTQHr3hpjLEvYYVZ4LPosIgK58gPQm0wFsm5SIH4%2FYc%2Fm3KzMzAr%2BCqamt8G32zS5M6CEK%2FITx7LQOAkoMlg49ysMbtic31fuTUU%2BZulzkJsDbnyK%2BYPq%2BNazlScLTY8625dwwpf2AacCsPg25EqEbMCjXFUZihzMgOFXwYHkKojAojng%2B9ty8LH2z4CsCHk0JdpcWeD%2BNmmp%2FxpoTonNA0Xaex8A4%2FLk7w5X46fuXN7YHCQVc3GMrJgQ3X3YPTGxjf44|tkp%3ABk9SR5bT9oTEZw

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) ?

what coin is it ?

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.

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.

Honest answer - absolutely not.

Love that book and film.

I thought I had a rival............

Could you give me link please.

Take a look at: https://headsntails14.wordpress.com/victoria-bronze-reverses/

143 is correct

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.

Out of interest, may I ask where this picture came from ?

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.

I don't think so. Terry - that's my own coin and it's not the one featured here.
