I have this one:

He has now taken it down after I'd messaged him.

Some naive buyer may well buy this. It's very frustrating.

These dots appear randomly across the years - see my website: https://rarestpennies.wordpress.com/scarce-dot-pennies/#top

Nice info - I hadn't noted that. Normal tide on left; high tide on right

No, it IS a high tide. Normal tide on left

Thanks - so, it does exist, but clearly they have erroneously given two different coins the same identifying code (K69).

2022.

In the 2024 Coins of England decimal edition, on page 97 variety K69 is a Queen Elizabeth £2 coin but on page 405, K69 is a Charles III £2 coin. The QEII coin is supposedly a "Britannia" variety bearing a "privy mark" denoting the year of her death but I can't find any photos/trace of this coin. Can anyone help ?

Clicking on the link gives several options to download - which do you recommend ?

I suspect that there are around 50-100 examples. I stopped recording them coming to market several years ago.

P1327 I assume ?

I haven't bought much lately but I did get this from the Sovereign Rarities auction - unusual wide date.

I receive a printed catalogue for every auction - looks like I'm one of the lucky ones.

Why not check out London Coins website for past sales of 1880 pennies - that will give a decent idea of what it might be worth. https://londoncoins.co.uk/?page=Pastresults&searchterm=1880+Penny&searchtype=1&red=1

There appear to be other extraneous lumps and bumps too. Nothing to get excited about.

Can you supply the link please ?
