    I wonder if and when they'll clarify that on their website.
  2. secret santa
    No, they're pretty economical with their communications.
  3. secret santa
    They have confirmed that there will be no room bidding, just commission or phone bidding. I wonder if the guy who's selling his collection knew this ? I'll bet he didn't !

    Catalogue just arrived - no mention of venue !!!!!! And still no reply to my question of where the auction will be. Maybe they're still negotiating on a venue ?

    Bracknell was fine for me, about 45 minutes drive but this auction is at their Kent office and they still haven't told me whether the public can attend or not. Presumably not as I can't imagine that they have the space. And, anyway, that's too far away for me.

    Not really - subjective descriptions without photographic evidence (such as Michael Gouby's) are fairly meaningless, in my view.

    I'm inclined to take this with a pinch of salt. I'm not totally convinced that there's a deliberate design difference between obverse 11 and 12 let alone an additional obverse 11*. A high resolution photograph of a high grade example is essential before we accept this.

    Touché
  9. secret santa
    Crucial estimate missing (£80-$100) !!!

    They have replied that it's in Kent. But now I can't access their website - is anyone else having problems ?
  11. secret santa
    Thanks Mike - I emailed them to ask, earlier today but got no response.
  12. secret santa
    Does anyone know where this auction will take place ? There's no mention of location.
  13. secret santa
    My apologies - you're quite right. I need to keep out of this as this is not my area of expertise.

    Dracott describes the article as an update to his 2004 article but it's inconsistent to arbitrarily replace #suffixes with 1. He also describes 1873 7+C1 as a new die pairing with 3 known. I assume that this is the same as the previous 7+C# which was unique at the time of his 2004 article but, in theory could be an additional die pairing if C1 is "new" and different from C#. The new article deserves expansion together with photos to illustrate the new varieties.

    Let me know if you can't and I'll send a scan. I don't like to criticise but the penny section contains numerous narrative descriptions that really need photographic examples and there are a few errors, such as 1861 pennies with the "2" in various positions !!!

    Thanks Ian - latest coin added to site. Thanks also for the background on the other 2 coins. Out of interest, how do you know that lot 3115 was sold on Ebay in 2008 ? LCA doesn't mention that in its description. Same with Lot 2624.
  19. secret santa
    Thanks, Cliff
  20. secret santa
    Thanks Mike but lot 2623 isn't a DFF
  21. secret santa
    Great - thanks Ian - they're up as we speak.
  22. secret santa
    15 in 5 years - just about qualifies for entry. I wonder where they are now ? Come on guys - let's see them all.
  23. secret santa
    I think I'll add this to the rare penny website - can I ask any owners to send me their pictures please.
  24. secret santa
    Yes, try my varieties website, Bruce.
  25. secret santa
    I guess I've never really got around to it..............
