I see what your saying, but all 4 are the same (Identical), so that's got to be worth more than a single (same sort of thing as consecutive number notes, sort of)
Having said that, say If I found 4 unique Celtic coins from the same dies, would they be worth more as a combined group or sold separately ?
Correct, in the sense that 4 of something is worth more than 1 of something. Not in the sense that the value of each coin goes up proportionally to the known quantity, the value of each one will still remain the same, if you have 1 or 50. Maybe for other things this isn't the case, but certainly with an error coin like this. Regarding them being consecutive strikes - 1) that's not something people look for in coins 2) how you you know they're consecutive? Just because they're the same, they could be the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 10th examples that were cranked out. They would still look the same

No it's not form eBay, I have 4 of these that are identical, they came from a local general auction,
I was told the vendor worked for the Mint as a setter (who knows if that’s true)
I recon it’s even rarer to have 4 of the same
Surely that cannot be correct - more of something can't equate to it being rarer..
There should always be very similar errors out there of any error coin, unless the mint worker has EXTREMELY quick fingers and stops production just one error coin in (no chance).
If you did want to sell one, I'd be interested

One of my favs. In the right light you can see the whole exergue and date under the ONE on the rev.

1967 GB Very unusual Die Flaw Error Penny.
Reverse at 4 o’clock has a die flaw going through the “Y” & the field is raised to the level with the top of the “NY”
Obverse has extra metal at 4 o’clock with a die crack going from the top of it almost to the Queens chin, & at 3 o’clock the extra metal is level with the “EG”
Not sure what would cause it unless the die fractured; the weight is 9.4g & is aUNC
What do you think I could get on eBay ?It would be called a 'retained rim cud', like you say it arises from problematic dies. You also have quite a clear blakesley effect, in 2 separate places. The weak areas are caused by the die pulling all that metal into the cud, causing the areas directly opposite to lose details.
If you want to sell it I would take it off your hands. eBay will get you about 10-20 quid.
PM me if you want to get rid.

I must be a bit dim, but I thought that these new pounds were meant to be 12 sided. The examples shown seem to be round, with twelve straight bits on the inside of the rim.
No you're not wrong, they're definitely 12 sided. Which examples are you referring to?

Not too worried. If you're a serious collector who is buying coins that are deemed valuable enough to copy, you should already know your stuff.
The same problems come with this as with casting too, you copy the original coin LFL so any imperfections/knocks/tell tale signs will be seen on every subsequent coin.
Definitely brings the cost of making forgeries right down though.
I think due diligence and communication will be the key to such a problem.

Well I didn't think about that until someone mentioned it here a few years back, as soon as I read it I thought 'shit, my coins have been moving this whole time', but after investigating they're pretty snug in the capsules and it's the capsules that don't quite fit in the trays. Although I have one tray that I had to buy here that the capsules are almost too snug in.. Difficult to get them out.

This part would worry me, if they are moving inside the capsules then you may need some black ring foam to stop them moving, the more movement the more wear eventually against hard plastic
That worries me too! But be safe in the knowledge that the capsules are rotating inside the trays, instead of the coins inside of the capsules

Very true, my thinking was though that perhaps through the last 20 or so years it may have been taken out of the capsule or a holder and moved around, i'm probably more baffled how no one has seen it since 1862 but it's not a huge problem, just interesting. It will be correctly labeled in Novemeber though
Yeah definitely interesting, especially as it's been kept in such good nick. Would love to hear if you did find it anywhere!

The hunt is always the thrill, the ownership is the satisfaction
I like this one. Very exciting searching and having to outbid others to win it, very satisfying having it and being able to look at it whenever you want.
I also take out all my coins every month or so and just look through them. Because they're in capsules, in trays, after a month of movement most have rotated and they're all out of place, gives me an excuse to look at them by lining them up again

@Paulus Sold by DNW £4200 hammer Sept 2016 and graded as GEF, so we can throw Spink out of the window as prices fluctuate. Trying to narrow down where mine may have come from and thought possibly the Ex Cheshire sold at Goldbergs, but this was as it turns out in an NGC slab, no pictures unfortunately and also MS63
http://www.goldbergcoins.com/content/?page_id=3145
Would seem strange to have provenance, seeing as anyone who had it should have known what they had, or at least auction houses/potential bidders would see and the price would've been higher. I reckon this one's passed through private sales through the years..

Lovely, and a great price too. Keep 'em coming
That 1865 a 5 over 3?

Welcome Jamie, you're in good hands here being a penny collector.
Although most of the people responding will be direct competition for you
As is standard practice for a nooblet, post a couple of pictures of some of your favourites for us to enjoy

Yeah does sound like a brockage. Depending on the condition you can sell it from anywhere between about 70 - 400 quid. There are less buyers out there for error coins, but if you do sell it don't just take the first low ball offer (which you will get), someone will come along.

Nothing to apologies for Matt. I am aware that there is software that will do the sniping for you, I figure if someone wants it that badly then they can have it and I will get the next one.
My method works for me and stops me from getting carried away with last minute panic bidding. A lesson it took me a while to learn.
Like most of us on here I have probably paid too much for some coins but I have also been lucky and picked up a few gems at a good price. Its all swings and roundabouts and as long as at the end of the day I am happy with what I have bought thats the main thing
My bad!
You make goods points, I still occasionally panic bid
Especially at DNW or other auctions with live bidding 
bad habits die hard.

Ebay are currently pulling these from auctions at the request of the Royal Mint, the mint are stating that they are Government property. I have sent a request to DNW regarding the one they have in sale and asking if the Trial strike they are selling can be legally sold, no answer as yet, there is a thread on the CCF forum about one of these, one guy has to send his back that he bought from ebay and has only a certain time to do so
Pull the other one Dave, ebay don't remove listings

Made me chuckle too.
That's 'nuclear bids' and 'chatter marks' I've nicked off you now VS

If we are talking about ebay tactics. I work out my upper limit that I would pay for something. I do this by checking price from whatever price guide I have to hand, I have also started looking at auction and dealers sites.
I then make the bid normally a few hours ahead of the end time, then I turn off eBay and wait for the email to tell me if I have one or lost.
This may not work for everyone and I really cannot be bothered with snip bidding.
I have tried watching the bidding but all that does is make me make impulse bid higher than I should.
I seem to get around 70% of the coins I bid on and the ones I don't get I am not worried about as there will be another one along at some point.
That's sensible bidding there Ian, something some of us should observe sometimes
Snipe can mean sitting there and clicking a few seconds before the auction ends, but can also refer to sniping as in placing a bid through a third party site which will bid through your account on your behalf, at a designated time. This is why sometimes even when you snipe with a second to go you still get beaten, the auto snipes can bid it within milliseconds of the auction ending. If you already knew that, I've read your post wrong and I'm sorry

Pete, can you log out and before logging in, click on the reset password button and see if it sends the email to your address?
Email me if you can't get back in or whatever.
This seller has some of the most deliberately deceptive photography I think I've seen.
