  1. Can anyone remember who put this up on the forum a while ago ? I'd like a picture of the obverse to include on my rare pennies site. Richard
  2. Yes, the last penny I bought from Stacks Bowers came via UPS without any problem.
  3. I refused to pay the last Fedex bill @ 20% and they raised a query and eventually reduced their invoice some 3 months later although I received several very threatening letters from their debt collection agents despite assurances that I didn't need to worry - it wasn't a pleasant experience.
  4. They've been doing this for ages. The 2019 set of 50p's is only £19.95 with Westminster compared with £45 from the Mint !
  5. This has become the thread that I turn to first every day and I'd be sad to see the end of it (unless Theresa gets a one years extension) so can't we just respect our differences ? After all, it's only mirroring the country.
  6. If anything, they (and I) were putting more of their faith in the Westminster elite rather than the European bureaucrats. How stupid is that ?
  7. Obverse A Obverse B A & B much closer together on obverse B
  8. rarer than the chances of parliament regaining the trust of the people................................
  9. And pigs may fly............................ And I may find a BU F90 penny.........................
  10. Wow - this could be a unique striking.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1912-H-UK-Queen-Victoria-One-Penny/192875121266?hash=item2ce840ca72:g:oKEAAOSwVXdcVabm
  11. One point in their favour is that they did accept an offer from me once that was substantially below their asking price. It pays to haggle with them.
  12. Yes, and lot 122 sold for £475.
  13. I wrote most of the hammer prices onto my catalogue - are there any specific lots you'd like to know about ?
  14. Nil illegitimus carborundum (don't let the bastards grind you down !)
  15. Terry, I sent you a couple of emails - did you not receive them ?
  16. Yes, I've added these 1902 Trials to my rare penny website - there's an interesting combination of obverses and reverses, all interchangeable.
  17. Yes, but I was desperate enough to get one that I bought a similar horror back in the day !
  18. 10 years ago the F164A was thought to be much rarer than it's proved to be, as quite a few have come to market in that time.
  19. I had trouble picking that one up - when I clicked on it, I couldn't save the image but when I clicked on it again I could so I've now picked it up. Thanks Mike. If GaryD and/or Davidrj would like me to attribute these coins to them, please let me know. I've just said "Held in a private collection" at the moment.
  20. Unless I'm missing something, I think there's only one new specimen on this thread ?
  21. I've now added F176 to my rarestpenny site to see what sort of population builds up. If anyone else has one please post or send me pictures.
  22. OK - found it.
  23. Which LCA auction ???
