I don't think it is a repro.
No, it's the one that sold in Bernie's sale. The seller must be some sort of moron.

Get in quickly before the seller realises his penny is rarer than he thinks !

Thanks Terry
Maybe weak sea rather than missing, but I've not seen it on 1930 coins.(Can you "not see" what isn't there ??)

And I've sent him a blank version of the Word document that I use.

There was talk on here a few years back about an official re-write of Freeman (maybe either by Michael himself, or under his auspices?)
Chris Perkins had thought that it might be a future option. Michael Freeman had approved the release of the paperback version but had opted out of any future involvement himself.

Is there a .pdf of the Bernard Workman Collection auction available by any chance?
Steve Hill of Sovereign rarities sent me a nice 4 page Word document containing pictures of most of the coins as a pre-auction publicity release. If you let me have your email address, I'll mail it to you.

Yes, further examination of coins reveals that, apart from a few (rare ?) 1889 F127 pennies with missing serifs, F127s plus 1890, 1891 and some 1892 pennies were all struck with obverse R* and then reverted partway through 1892 to obverse R which was then used until 1895 when the veiled head obverse was introduced.

Either that or an illegal firearm.

An exciting Ebay listing for penny collectors seeking the 1863 with die numbers - the first example with minus 1 (-1) under the date.

Sorry to resurrect this old topic, but I decided to add the 1905 small zero penny to my rarest penny site (I'm not even sure that it's scarce/rare) so I searched back in the Forum archives for Terry's postings on the subject.
I can't remember whether I forwarded the scans of the Edward VII penny variants from Coin Monthly May 1977 that Pete kindly sent me 8 years ago !
If anyone would like a copy, please let me know.

Last one from 1892 looks like slight doubling of the linear circle
Just a nasty gouge, I think. But more interesting is the smaller 8 between the 8 and 9 !

I messaged him to say that it's not an F8 mule and his reply was - "Are you blind ?"
