Comparing the 1837 in both catalogues shows the very unflattering colour quality of the Adam's catalogue. Only fully BU coins or near so showed any orange, and the 1837 didn't look lustrous at all.

The picture in the Spink catalogue that illustrates the coin type.
So it is - how did you spot that ???

Spink plate coin.
What's that ????

There was a very nice F1 penny described as F6 which I though might go for a bargain price but it was spotted and bid up to over £1400.

You can tell from the screenshot that you posted - whenever a lot is not shown with a hammer price, it has not sold.
Actually I find their website quite friendly compared with some, e.g. Spink whose archive facility is criminally bad.

Watched 'Quatermass and the Pit' the other day- fantastic!
Love those Quatermass films - my mum and dad wouldn't let me watch it when it was televised on BBC in black and white back in the day.

I've bought several like this hoping it was a number - perhaps even the fabled number 1 - but it never is !

Was it correctly identified as such when it was sold?
Yes, But I forgot to record what price it fetched.

I'm just praying that Atlas will be bidding when I sell my collection !

The majority of the most expensive coins in last week's Workman sale of pennies went to a single bidder - it will be interesting to see whether they turn up on Atlas' site.

Is that a proof?
I'm not sure; I've called it a pattern but I've not seen it in hand so it might be a proof but it's probably unique being struck with reverse Freeman K which has the non-heraldically coloured shield.

This is the 1885 penny that you really want. I could kick myself for missing out on this a few years ago.

Just a nice coin, I think. Although not that much better than my own specimen bought for £35 in 1999.

There is a circled character (or something similar) clearly stamped on both sides.

I would say that the rotated T is the most interesting of the 3 repairs but they all result from the same manual intervention, rather than being a considered design change.
-
These repairs were very common in the early 1860's.

I'm adding the pattern pennies to my rarest penny site for completion (on a single page).

Are there three parts?
There were only 2 parts for Bernie's sale; the other part may be the rest of the coins in the auction ?
-
I've sent both.

It appears that Bernie had got his coins slabbed for the sale and interesting to compare the gradings against previous provenance, e.g. the 1863 die 2 was described as VF in the Laurie Bamford sale but had been graded as AU details-cleaned for Bernie's sale. And the F76 was EF in Laurie's sale but had improved to Unc in Bernie's sale !
As they say, grading is in the eye of the beholder.

Interesting, I'll add this to my varieties site, Ian, though it would be very easy not to notice this at first and second glance !
