    Trump's existence is proof enough.

    He bought Laurie Bamford's and a couple from LCA, too.

    Ah, I hadn't recorded that anywhere - Thanks Jerry.

    Jerry, I don't think I've got your normal F24 on my rare website ?

    I see that the 2 D2 coins went for £1800 - it's probably the first time that this variety has come to market in recognisable form even though they weren't catalogued as such. It will be interesting to see what they sell on for, assuming they were bought for that reason. This sale values them at around £7-900 each.

    I was totally incredulous the other day when my wife declared that she was the world's number one fan of the Monkees. But then I saw her face........................

    On my own F73 7 over 7, the die crack is much worse (and her knee is still smoking !).
  10. secret santa
    My example definitely has polished surfaces and it might be only my imagination but all the examples of so-called F74's that I've seen appear to have the H a little further from the linear circle than your photo.

    Margaret Thatcher would be delighted to see herself on a coin......

    No, John (Chingford) may have a better idea of scarceness.

    i've just noticed that yours is paired with a different Obverse as it has a Narrow Date , my example has a wide date There may be a slight difference in width but they are both 1858 large date numerals.

    Neat work, Ian - how do you produce those overlapped pictures ?
  15. secret santa
    I agree that "may" is better than "can" but it's the word GET that gets my goat.
  16. secret santa
    And what about the awful habit that's crept in of saying "Can I GET a ham sandwich ?" instead of "Can I have a ham sandwich ?".

    Mine just tells me I'm not listening, although if I know that, then I must be listening............................

    Almost everyone on "The Chase" this week seemed to start every sentence with "So" - I literally exploded with anger (but they managed to so me back up again).
  19. secret santa
    Just a bit of a bang, I think. My own similar date has a straight 4.

    Are you able to take better photographs ? You'll need them to accurately determine variety and grade. Your 1922 attached below.

    You're probably not aware of the wonderful Pandora's box of penny varieties that you've just opened and you'll have a fantastic time exploring and discovering these. Enjoy the journey.

    It's got the same die cracks at the left of Victoria's neck as my own coin - must be a feature of this date.
  23. secret santa
    This one ? (I have the picture - not the coin !)
  24. secret santa
    Definitely an underappreciated variety, along with F20.
  25. secret santa
    Die 3's don't come up very often so, well done. As you say, you have to grab these opportunities when you can (at least that's what I tell myself, and the wife).
