    Actually, looking at the 2 reverses, there is a greater difference in the waves, which are engraved completely differently on the two varieties.

    Am I missing something ? I can't see any difference in the rock between 1909 rev D, 1909 F169 rev E and 1910 rev E 1909 F168 rev D 1909 F169 rev E 1910 rev E

    In geek-like fashion I had recreated the article in Word, even including the 2 photos and decided to insert the word "nevertheless" after "specimen" - so we're on the same wavelength (is that a good thing ???)
  4. secret santa
    The sentence below the photograph seems to end abruptly after the words "but a specimen"..... Is that how it was printed or is it a fold in the paper ?

    A bargain !

    I still maintain that one can't tell whether a coin has been "cleaned" or not from a photograph. Photos can differ dramatically according to the technology and lighting that are used to take them. None of the coins pictured above look particularly different from many other of the London Coins photos. There will never be a substitute for examining the coin in hand. If in doubt before buying or bidding, check that you can return the coin if not satisfied.

    I bought the F79 in this week's DNW sale. It's virtually BU.

    Que ?

    The 1869 penny was described as "wiped" in the catalogue. What exactly does this mean ???? I can "wipe" my brow or I can "wipe" all trace of something. Another ambiguous term.
  21. secret santa
    yes, that was a nice overdate - I had it down as a possibility but drew the line at the F6A and the F79.
  22. secret santa
    It certainly looks very nice in the DNW photo.

    They all have denominations: https://www.westminstercollection.com/p-403M/50th-Anniversary-of-the-50p-Military-BU-Set.aspx

    Lot 556 was a F79.
  25. secret santa
    Mike - the Freeman 7 went for £500 hammer - it was the nice F1 that didn't sell, surprisingly. I expect your 7 was a typo. The 1864 was a good buy - nearly went for it.
