PWA 1967

I notice the seller has now added a picture of his own overdate that is not the same coin. He should of used his own pictures in the first place and due to Hibernian has perhaps realised he has been rumbled. Dave groom has got it right............STEER WELL CLEAR 🙂

I dont have a clue as not seen the coin in hand ,although the differences in Gouby Ac and Gouby B were both explained to me by a CGS grader so they do know the difference. I think because the variety is so minuscule i would have to give them the benefit of the doubt and a couple i have had i have only been sure by looking under a glass. Either way the coin pictured is ......Not for sale on ebay ☺️

Sorry typo as just been pointed out to me UIN 42402 and says on the description was purchased at LCA on the date i mentioned 🙂 Also yes the coin in someone elses collection .

Are these pictures of the coins sealed in plastic ? I dont have a clue but looks that way especially the 50p

UIN is 40402 The coin was sold at LCA 18/3/2018 LOT 2435 then put straight in a slab...I know the GUY who has it. Wonder what he is going to send the buyer instead ☹️

HAT OFF Ozzy and a nice touch 😉

Often you will find diferences to Copper pennies of most years were letters / colons were re cut and repunched to continue using the same dies. Both your coins are OT Far colon after DEF, The re punched different position of colons IMO does not really mean any major variety and if it did there would be lots of different types. The main varieties for 1855 are...... OT Far colon PT Close colon OT Three colons after FID One with a DOT on Victorias Forehead.....A variety for some but only a flaw You really could go on forever Paddy ,so you can make your own judgement as to what is a variety or not 😉

Maybe if you want to find out just look at the dates from 7 to 9 rather than the full width.Gouby also mentions a different 9 i think.... as put the book away now its doing my head in 😉

Yes but as i have edited the post (at the same time) since Mike the 7 may well be closer to the 9 but still the same full width 🙂

I think Mike and sorry if i am wrong that you are saying you may be able to tell the difference by the date width. If so then maybe a look in Gouby will help you. He has F96 as 12-5 teeth and F97 variety BP1879Bd also as 12-5 teeth. The F97 the most common one has widths of 11,11-5 ,12, 12-5 teeth............So Yes F96 the type can be determined by the width of the date as is only 12-5 teeth. Atleast it is one indicator. The only other is F98 your new one 9 teeth 😉 Edited ..........Sorry reading again you mean the 9 being closer to the 7...May well be 🙂

Hi Bob and welcome. The search box (top right on the front page)is invaluable.There are no doubt lots of questions you wish to ask ,of which the majority will have been asked before. i.e. Coin storage , magnifier ,scales etc. To see things rather than pictures and to get the right answers maybe visit a coin show.You may even end up buying a coin that you like the look of after seeing one in hand. Please BEWARE though as from then on you are a fully fledged member of the....Coin addict association. Enjoy it and dont buy to much Rang from ebay 🙂 Pete.

I am with Jon on this one and think he describes it well.......A round shiny thing 🙂

A Known variety but scarce....... 1854 Penny with DOT below the I in Victoria. CGS 70. Its similar to the Gouby BP1875Cd.. The CGS price is £150. £100 Posted Special delivery. Pete.

I think its just the one auctioneer at DNW ,i have never heard anyone else say it.Sometimes when DNW use someone else they dont say it either.

Sorry Mike i dont even know anyone called Gary 😂 my heads whirling with the medication. He just opened at £700 , the hammer went down and the auctioneer said " Hat off Mike "

I was thinking / hoping it was your bid Gary when it opened as there wasnt any other bids. Always nice to get one (especially a good one) that you have wanted a while 🙂 Hat Off.

I often wonder what WOOD means as the auctioneer today always says it . The F14 was noticed and the F6a proof opened without a bid which makes me think others didnt think it was either ,maybe i was wrong and they even put it on the front cover. Always another day and hope if anyone bought anything they were happy with the price or to tick one off a list 🙂

Peck.....PM me your address as you can have mine now i have read it 🙂

Would it not just be better to buy ones that are ok in the first place ?.

Thought it better to show the picture of the reverse for anyone that might be interested as unrecorded.

Thanks Mike 🙂 The reason for me buying the Lot though was the one top left is the scarce one. The REV is different than any other year and one sold last week in LCA for £2600+ premium. its now on Richards site as a pattern with NO Colon after REG ,the sheild ,leaves ,stem and other differences. Not many about so was really happy to spot this one and was able to get rid of the others to help cover the cost.

https://www.dnw.co.uk/auction-archive/lot-archive/lot.php?department=Coins&lot_id=311875 I was lucky to find this Lot at DNW a few months ago 🙂 If you get bored maybe have a look as one is scarce and dont think many spotted it on the day. Pete.

Its were a penny collector lives Jerry who buys all the scarce / rare ones.

Thats why i thought it was a 6 😂 i thought it was an 1858 W.W..............Even nicer then than i first thought. Hat off and a good buy , so an 1856 OT Scarce coin in that grade.
