    I am sure they did as it was an auction listing rather than a buy-it-now (I saw it too and took screenshots also, so you're not going mad, Terry). Changing the image and the title is a way for the seller and buyer to avoid others noticing - though they did - and to avoid a hefty eBay fee to boot. Wonder who got it and for what actual price??

    The F44 slender 3 penny - The seller contacted me separately afterwards asking me to verify the coin - he withdrew it earlier after realising what it might be. I asked him what he's going to do with it but he didn't reveal his plans.

  2. After posting the initial bad news, I somehow managed to recover the Victoria obverses (I'm not sure how) but am unable to update the page - also the Victoria reverses.

    Sadly, on these free sites, the support facilities aren't great.

    I have no idea how these 2 pages lost the ability for updates; the other pages are still updateable at the moment but I'm fearful for their fate.

  3. The 1861 F23 proof was:

     Struck in January 1861 as part of an experiment to determine whether the weight standard of the new bronze coins should be altered in order to coin 40 instead of 48 pieces to the pound avoirdupois
